so i just finished last [I]The Secret Agent[/I], though i liked it better than [I]Heart of Darkness[/I] and [I]Lord Jim[/I] i find it a hard time to get comfortable with Joseph Conrad. Next book will be Master & Margarita. somewhere in the forum, there's this discussion about the "best 150 novels", a compilation of lists from Modern Library and two others. i am doing the Modern Library and no, i'm fine by not adding another 50. :p [I]The Secret Agent[/I] happens to be the 66th novel I've read from that list, a project which i started early last year. i had fun, though it slowed down drastically since December 2007. there were terrible ones but most inpired me to read and discover more. strange though my favourites happens to be from the final end of the list: [I]The Sheltering Sky [/I]and [I]Wide Sargasso Sea[/I] are ranked in the line of 90.
