Book recommendations for Wally Lamb fan?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

I need book recommendations for novels similar to Wally Lamb's.  I've read She's Come Undone, The Hour I First Believed, and I Know This Much is True, and loved them all.

 

The things I liked about his books, and what I'm looking for in the next books I read are:

* long, tangential stories, with lots of characters and sub-plots.

* family saga-type books.

* I also enjoyed the frank, straight-forward, modern language he uses (eg: no censoring of profanity to make the characters more believable, etc).  

 

Any suggestions?

Have you read Jonathan Frazen's books yet?  The Corrections and Freedom definately will fulfill your requirements.

 

You might also like The Grace that Keeps This World by Tom Bailey.  (I think I have the title right)  Most definately a family saga!  And tangled!
