Can I just say that I have never been more thrilled by a survey than when I just opened that one and was immediately asked about Haruki Murakami?!
I’ve never read any of his work. What’s he most famous for?

I'd say he's most well known for The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle or 1Q84. I'd recommend starting with A Wild Sheep Chase or Norwegian Wood, if you wanted to read some of his works.I’ve never read any of his work. What’s he most famous for?

He has a very easy to read style, equal parts surreal and melancholy.
Wonder if it’s a good or bad thing that I didn’t really have any non-SK suggestions for a limited edition. I guess after Let the Right One In it’s hard for me to think of something I really want to see.

My Collection
I went with Silence of the Lambs and Weaveworld for my two suggestions.
Searching for:
CD S/L's of:
Gwendy's BB
Gwendy's MF
Suggestion #1 - Fifty Shades of Grey
Suggestion #2 - a matching buttplug paperweight
Anything Murakami-related would be fantastic! "1Q84" is probably the book most consistent with Suntup's horror/sci fi line but I would also recommend "Kafka on the Shore." "Killing Commendatore" is another with a bit of horror that would work with Suntup.I'd say he's most well known for The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle or 1Q84.

My two picks beyond Murakami are:
1) Under the Skin by Michel Faber
2) The Wolfen by Whitley Strieber
Me as well Kris! The one's I picked also lent themselves well to fantastic art, while continuing to focus on some themes important to our times whether dystopian, humanity in general, or a perspective to drive some individual introspection.
My suggestions:
The Secret History
House of Leaves
Can I approve of this post with a hearty LOL, but pass on the physical aspects of both suggestions?
The Suntup Royal treatment on either of my two suggestions would be spectacular:
1. The Lord of the Rings trilogy
2. Jurassic Park
Jurassic Park! Excellent choice!!

I think I wiped a tear when I saw The Butcher Boy among the list of titles. Just that it's a consideration is amazing. Thank you.
Centipede Press recently did an edition of Kafka on the Shore, so that one may not be likely.Anything Murakami-related would be fantastic!

I had the same reaction when seeing The Impossible Times trilogy amongst the list of living authors. Just the mere possibility of it not being totally impossible is just great, the fact that it has been taken in consideration. 😉
Thank you!

Your work calls this to mind:
Eastasia has always taught college students to feel pride or shame according to their race.
I went for
Replay by Ken Grimwood
Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris
I take it both are in development by omission from the previous lists..result
Nobody likes a clown at midnight
That is one of my most famous works--Whistler's Stepmother.Your work calls this to mind:
Even if it gets no other votes, it meant a lot for me to see it there.I had the same reaction when seeing The Impossible Times trilogy amongst the list of living authors. Just the mere possibility of it not being totally impossible is just great, the fact that it has been taken in consideration. 😉

In honor of Jeff I voted that every Bentley Little book needs the Suntup treatment starting with The Mailman.
Looking for Suntup Brother ARC and Suntup Seed ARC
Lol! I'm telling you, there's a bizarre future timeline out there where Little will be a GUEST on Jeff's show.
Once Suntup did an edition of Madison County, I figure anything is game. For the fill-in-the-blanks, I suggested:
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with the original art by Joseph Schindelman. Replacing his work with a different artist for that book and my interest would drop considerably, but a Suntup edition with that artwork would be the prize possession of my collection.
Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood.
If there had been another, I would have suggested Jurassic Park.
"...that Siren which called and sang and promised so much and gave, after all, so little." ~ Ray Bradbury
I chose The Ocean at the End of the Lane for Gaiman (and could easily have gone for Coraline or Neverwhere), but I've read nothing from Murakami. I have read a few things from Vonnegut, but I detest his work and chose nothing.
I only chose two from the "choose three" list: The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova (of which I've only read about 20-30 pages of an online sample - but how fantastic that bit was) and All The Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr.
My open suggestions were Shadowland (Straub) and The Name of the Wind (Rothfuss).
Eastasia has always taught college students to feel pride or shame according to their race.
Well, then, I think what you'll witness is an old-fashioned case of Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD). Due to that trauma, my psyche will have no choice but to bifurcate and create a new personality--one willing to accept and look forward with gleeful anticipation to a Suntup book authored by Little. This new personality will take full ownership of those feelings, while my original personality will simply "lose time" and have no recollection that those books ever existed.
