Five favorite novels (non-graphic variety).

Hm. Let’s see. In no particular order:
Cockfighter, Charles Willeford
The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald
The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, Haruki Murakami
Remainder, Tom McCarthy
Numbers in the Dark, Italo Calvino (this is a short story collection so kind of cheating, but arguably Calvino’s novels are *all* short story collections…)
