Donne's shorter poems. Various things by Shelley. The Threepenny Opera, Mother Courage, Galileo, The Threepenny _Novel_, Brecht's poems, some other Brecht. All five novels of Dashiell Hammett, the Continental Op Stories. About half the novels of Raymond Chandler. About half the novels of Dorothy Sayers. Kafka's stories. Just about anything by William Gibson. C.J. Cherryh's older hard sci fi. Lots of stuff by James Lee Burke. Flannery O'Connor's stories. Gravity's Rainbow, V., other Pynchon. Hmm, sort of short on diversity, aren't we? Joyce, though, Ulysses anyway, beautiful stuff. Didn't hook me the way the things I have listed have.

Pppfffffffffffttt. I completed my 93rd reading of Thomas the Tank
Engine's "Monster Under The Shed" yesterevening.

I'm sure it'll be on the reread list for a while yet....:-)
