repeat-reread list: War and Peace. Anna Karenina. The Illiad. Dante's
Inferno. Various Shakespeare. Milton's Paradise Lost. 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....:-)
