I discovered today that Hemingway wrote a book set in Africa and now I'm totally going to read True at First Light. I'm excited.
Not too sure of mine. Maybe Oscar Wilde or Nick Hornby. Their prose is so amazing.
moose_gurl, have you ever read Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad? That's a tale set in Africa, about a steamer that goes up the Congo, and is also a parallel of going deep into the dark intricate jungle of the human heart.
It's an awesome novella.
Ian McEwan, Poe, Wilde, Dumas...
No I haven't. I've heard of it, but I never knew what it was about. Now, it's on the list.
Thanks.
Nick Hornby is a unique writer. I read A Long Way Down and gave it a 7/10. I love his movies--About a Boy and High Fidelity are both really good. I thought the book was good but at times uninspired. Really good character development, and very interesting story-telling approach. Light-hearted, yet profound.
Oscar Wilde.
More to come soon. :p:

Dante and Milton. Currently, at least. Though, to the former at least, I seem to constantly return. Milton is a relatively new discovery in my life, on the other hand, whilst my connection with Dante goes back to my childhood. :D

Is it me, or is the resemblance to Jack Nicholson, like, uncanny? :idea:
pretty much Joyce & Borges, not quite the limited world.
No Madame X, although there's a hint of Nicholson, check this out!!!!!Quote:
