Tin Woodman seeks heart . . .

Looking for recommendations for reading material. Not that my TBR pile is anything but gigantic, but I want some works where the emotions of the main character are shown well without the story being *about* those emotions. I'm tired of my MCs being flat, and I hope to learn by example.

I second the recommendation for Lahiri's short stories. She does incredible things in very short space.

Not to mention the tour de force of a legitimately first person plural narrator :)

I saw the new novel on the shelves at Border's last week but decided I wasn't ready to shell out hardcover prices for it.

First person plural? Ooh, I *must* read that!
