bloody joyce i intend to read that someday but didn't get very far at all last time... I read it in Croatia, when I had plenty of spare time and no-one interesting to talk to. It was fluid enough until the last section when he just loses all punctuation.

How about Beowulf? Paradise Lost? I know you adore it, swansie. And how on earth did we miss The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Notre-Dame de Paris, rather)? And did we not add the bible? You kind of have to have a working knowledge if you want to understand 75% of the stuff written after it.

Twenty Thousand Leauges Under the Sea A Journey to the Center of the Earth Moby Dick Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There The Murders in the Rue Morgue The Mystery of Marie Roget The Purloined Letter Les fleurs du mal And Then There Were None (as the other two titles are offensive)

Hamlet. But that's Shakespeare, anyway. Great Gatsby (not sure if that's already been posted) Anna Karenina Scarlet Letter Franny and Zoey any e.e. cummings poetry Rimbaud Baudelaire Dickinson T.S. Eliot (notably, the Waste Land) Sun Also Rises (was that posted yet?)
Oddly enough, the only thing I've read out of all of those is Hamlet, e.e. cummings, rimbaud, baudelaire, and some eliot and some dickinson. I now have a sizeable reading list, apparently.

Quigley, yay! Just when I was about to update my list with Anna Karenina and practically every Shakespearean play, you post! And it's ironic, as I was just reading Eliot's The Waste Land! Whee! And if we're doing this by author... Alexander Smith Edgar Allan Poe George Orwell Lewis Carroll Lemony Snicket(hehe)

Ah, Caroll is brilliant. I haven't gotten to The Waste Land yet (my Elliot book has other stuff in it too and I read the Love letter to, oh, what's his name? I don't remember. But I love the line "Do I dare disturb the universe?")
Yeah, what else is lying on my floor....uh...oh! How could we have forgotten! Vonnegut! Breakfast of Champions Slaughter-House Five Cat's Cradle (Those are the ones I've read so far) and Nietzsche! (I have Birth of Tragedy and the Geneology of Morals on my shelf). Freud, also. Norman O. Brown - Life Against Death The Odyessy

Oh I Just realized I wrote "Birth of huh" as Nietzsche's title. I must've spaced. It's "Birthy of Tragedy"

Are you going to update the first post, J? It'd make for a good reading list.
