Thanks. Sort of an american lit month. Just started The Naked and the Dead to cap it off.
Speaking of poetry there's a William Blake exposition starting in Paris. It looks pretty good.

Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe

Besides these I've read about 150 pages of Don Quixote by Cervantes and The Odyssey by Homer. I've been mostly working on my Ulysses reread, so it's taken tons of my time, which is fine by me!

The House of the Seven Gables - Hawthorne
The Narrative of A. Gordon Pym - Poe
An Area of Darkness - V.S. Naipaul

Nothing could possibly be longer than that first read through, though.

How did you like it?

I liked it..it was my first Faulkner novel so it took a few pages to get used to the style ;) but it was very interesting (and very sad).
