I recently read and enjoyed ‘Less’, ‘Overstory’, and ‘The Idiot’ - before that, I hadn’t read many Pulitzer Prize or finalist books.

Suggest ‘Little, Big’ by John Crowley. A multilayered fable which I was reminded of by ‘The Overstory.’ It’s one of those odd books that is not widely known but has had an outsized influence on many creators.

Lonesome Dove is good if you like tragic westerns. The events are mostly realistic and grim but the people and prose lend a poetry to it. Kavalier and Klay is a fun story about the birth of the Comics industry
