Stegner won the Pulitzer for Angle of Repose another great book, but not my favorite. Both are amazing American authors. It took me awhile to get into Sky, but I loved it. As for classics, if you've never read The Count of Monte Cristo, it's a great read!

Both are remarkable, life-giving novels of the very highest quality, custom-designed for maximal emotional response and a surfeit of thought-provocation. Happy reading!
