1. Focaults's Pendulum. I didn't like it much and was just glad when it was over.
2. Kurt Vonnegut.
3. John Irving.
4. His heart beat faster and faster as Daisy’s white face came up to his own. He knew that when he kissed this girl, and forever wed his unutterable visions to her perishable breath, his mind would never romp again like the mind of God. So he waited, listening for a moment longer to the tuning-fork that had been struck upon a star. Then he kissed her. At his lips’ touch she blossomed for him like a flower and the incarnation was complete.
5. Holden Caulfield, or Yossarian.

Focault has always hurt my brain a little. Where’s the quote from? I like it @jomsim

@MayaHope Glad it's not just me. I always wonder if I'm missing something when I dislike a book that most people rate. Quote is from The Great Gatsby.
