reading list
I am reading the following six books, with bookmarks in various locations in each of them:
The latest book published is Percy from 1985. It is collection of essays on man and language. Herzog is a book about an odd academic writing strange cranky letters to people famous and infamous, living and dead. Vonnegut is one of his early dystopic science fiction novels. Night is Wiesel's WWII deathcamp experience. Kafka is Kafka and cummings is cummings. Does this presage the times or is it all just ancient history?
1. The Message in the Bottle by Walker Percy
2. Herzog by Saul Bellow
3. The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka
4. a selection of poems by e.e.cummings
5. Night by Elie Wiesel
6. The Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut
