Daemon by Daniel Suarez.

I am so ashamed.

Just finished McCarthy's The Crossing. Might go back and do Seymour: An Introduction by Salinger now.

Who is this semen demon?

kind of feel like I'm wasting my time reading fiction

Yeah. I get that way to.

In the middle of a whole bunch. Nietzsche, a book on the Caucuses, a Mary Renault pot boiler.

Italo Calvino - If on a winter's night a traveler...
Paul Gottfried - Multiculturalism and the Politics of Guilt

Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101

sounds good

Thomas Jefferson Revolutionary: A Radical's Struggle to Remake America by Kevin R.C. Gutzman. Next is Diary of a Superfluous Man by Turgenev.
Pretty fun book you've got there.

Wrong! What you are actually reading is AN ADAPTION of Virgil's Aeneid by some English or American translator!

What gave you that idea?

right.

The Well of Loneliness

I'm trying to read again, decided to start with In Search of Lost Time.

Ordinary men is a great book. Very good choice! How Do you like it so far?

Myself:
August 1914 - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Gravity's Rainbow

I'm enjoying it but wish I'd read V or another Pynchon beforehand - it took me a while to get used to his writing style and I'm probably going to try and re-read it when I finish it to get things I missed.

The Cunning Man by Robertson Davies

Friedrich Nietzsche-Beyond Good and Evil

martin fierro

The Castle by Frank Kafker

Hey, me too. What a coincidence.

Working my way through Gogol's works, just finished the Petersburg Tales, now onto the Government Inspector. Pretty excited. Everything I've read that Gogol wrote has been fantastic so far.

Don Juan

Gravity's Rainbow and Hell's Angels

Switching between The Pale King and The Agony and The Ecstasy

Currently trying to wrap up 2666. In the middle of the part about Archimboldi.

For school I'm reading The Republic, Critique of Pure Reason, and just starting Being in Time

Re-reading TCoL49.

Candide - Voltaire

That's next on my backlog! How does it compare to Homer?

Gravity's Rainbow
Is it poetry?

Did you do the Kenosha Kid?

The Confessions of Jean-Jacques Rousseau

I don't understand why so many people think that fiction doesn't have value. A lot of fiction has improved my life. Most recently the Sot-Weed Factor. It really motivated me to meet more people and start being more proactive.

just finished "Brave new world" and now started "Kudenow oder An fremden Wassern weinen", german book set in 1946 but a few pages in the writing doesn't grip me at all

Dubliners - James Joyce
Solaris - Stanislaw Lem
