Most of my reading for march was spent in reading "In the shadow of young girls in flower" by proust, which i still haven't finished, interspersed with Mary by Vladimir Nabokov and Big Sur by Jack Kerouac, both shorter and much easier to digest.

Hmmm, let's see:
Mother Night- Vonnegut (loved it, just behind the Sirens of Titan & Slaughterhouse for my favorites in his collection)
God bless you Mr. Rosewater (my least favorite of Vonneguts)
The Stranger- Albert Camus (so short, so terse, so well done)
American Pastoral- Roth
White Noise- Delillo (huge fan, favorite book of the '80s alongside Housekeeping & Confederacy of Dunces)
Sanctuary- Faulkner (shows his stylistic range & a focus on the 'other' senses, though it is ultimately less satisfying, to me, than his other works)

Midnight's Children Salman Rushdie. Excellent!
Baudolino by Umberto Eco (It is actually better than Name of the Rose and I always thought that he could not write anything better than that book!)
