I am definitely interested, Kathy. I love Milton, but would like to read authors I haven't yet read. I would be up for Pynchon, especially after Jay's glowing recommendation.
No Harry Potter, please. While imaginative, to me, poorly written and too dark and violent, especially as they progress. I would give my child the Black Stallion and Stevenson instead.
I'll read anything (well, NOT badly written or uninteresting stuff), though, and right now am on an Alexander McCall Smith kick. I usually will pick an author and, if entranced, read everything they have ever written and then move on to someone new. Is this a habit I acquired in college? Possibly.
