depending on situation, EAS can get you up to 10+ bonus points although i think usual number is about 2/3.

Oranges and sunshine (both the book and movie) is a really good text for as you like it, it's not overused and there are heaps of parallels. On the flip side, the book is apparently quite hard to analyze compared to other texts, it depends on how proficient you are at English i guess.

ooh i've been meaning to read Thomas Pynchon's novels but haven't got round to it. I'll check out the others too, although i'm not a huge fan of Dan Brown.
