It's summer vacation and so I thought I'd go on a little spending spree to celebrate. I just bought Joyce's Dubliners, Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow, and McCarthy's Blood Meridian. I still have quite a bit left of Ulysses (Currently at 'Sirens'). I know a lot of people recommend reading Dubliners and Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man first, but I'm honestly not having much difficulty enjoying Ulysses.

After reading and loving Blood Meridian, I decided I needed another McCarthy fix. I bought Suttree after weighing it against Outer Dark. I may still buy Outer Dark on my next outing if Suttree is as good as everyone says it is. I also picked up Tolstoy's Death of Ivan Illych (and other stories). My hope is that it will prepare me for his longer novels. Probably a dumb idea. Lastly, and there's no great rationale behind this, I purchased DeLillo's White Noise. I tried to find Pale Fire but they were all out. Jurispathic fucked around with this message at 19:24 on Jun 12, 2009 |
