a question

I have $100 in gift cards for Barnes & Noble. Do you have any suggestions for books I should get?

My tastes are all over the place - here are some of the people I really love reading:

Octavia Butler
Margaret Atwood
Ursula K. Le Guin
Maxine Hong Kingston
Jorge Luis Borges
Junot Diaz
Roald Dahl
Toni Morrison
Neil Gaiman
Zora Neale Hurston
Salman Rushdie
Ruth Reichl
Kurt Vonnegut

I would really love a comprehensive Chinese cookbook, like a version of Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking, but I'm afraid it doesn't exist.
