Gregory Maguire
Confessions of an Ugly Step Sister
Amanda Werner and several other beautiful, elegant, conically breasted foreign ladies, from unspecified vaguely defined countries, plus a few bucolic so-called humorists, comprised Buster's perpetual core of repeats.
Dick, Philip K.
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
The pedestrian who halts on the Rue Culture-Sainte-Catherine, after passing the barracks of the firemen, in front of the porte-cochère of the bathing establishment, beholds a yard full of flowers and shrubs in wooden boxes, at the extremity of which spreads out a little white rotunda with two wings, brightened up with green shutters, the bucolic dream of Jean Jacques.
Victor Hugo

James Joyce
Ulysses

Vonnegut, Kurt
Slaughterhouse Five
