Tabitha,
More options is the solution. I saw that movie "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter" and it was fantastic. I like Southern writers a lot. "The Color Purple" is a great suggestion, too (liked that movie, too). Interesting, that you mentioned "long and heavy" describing O'Connor's novels. The only Hemingway I had read before this read was a short story of his and it was far more enjoyable than this novel. Maybe a compilation of short stories would be good. Does O'Connor have a popular compilation that would be a good option?
