Books

Some time in the late '90's, there was a year when I read a book a week. I don't think I set out to do it, but I did it, and it wasn't hard. These were real books, no padding with genre novels or collections of newspaper columns. The next year, I set out to do it, and I read fewer than twenty-five books.

Here are five books that you might enjoy reading. I did.

1. Ulysses (James Joyce, 1922)
2. Under The Volcano (Malcolm Lowry, 1947)
3. Lolita (Vladimir Nabokov, 1955)
4. Gravity's Rainbow (Thomas Pynchon, 1974)
5. Infinite Jest (David Foster Wallace, 1996)
