Hmm.
I don’t like Stephen King, but have been meaning to read 11/22/63.
I enjoyed Memoirs Of A Geisha but also found it a little sexist. As in, this was obviously a man writing, and he couldn’t really see things from a female point of view, or create a likeable female main character. Other than that, Golden definitely seems knowledgeable about Japanese culture, at least to me.
I could never get through Where’d You Go, Bernardette. Too white.
I really like Ira Levin, and am surprised I haven’t read A Kiss Before Dying.
