Speaker for the Dead - Orson Scott Card
i tried to read the mailer book, but didn't seem worth the effort. all i remember is that he kept using 'fug' as a euphemism.
and there's a funny story about that, apparently mythical--Dorothy Parker says to Mailer, "So you're the young man who can't spell f***?"

Moby Dick by Herman Melville.
(Yit, I'm sorry. I looked through google, but didn't recognize one book by Dorothy Parker, so I must not have read one)

Ragged Dick - Horatio Alger
yit, try some of Parker's short stories. "Big Blonde" is justly famous, and I also like a little gem called "The Lovely Leave". Both stories are in The Portable Dorothy Parker (Viking) and in Collected Stories (Penguin).
