The only one of these that I've read is The Waves by Virginia Woolf. And it took me awhile to get into her stream of consciousness writing in that one. But once I did I kind of liked it. Happy spinning!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI have only read 3. The Heart of a Dog is totally insane, AND really good!!
ReplyDeleteI read the Master & Margarita for the first time recently and was amazed.
DeleteI have never read anything by Eudora Welty, so I hope you'll get Delta Wedding.
ReplyDeleteI've read a couple of others by her. She's good!
DeleteOh, there it is! The Decameron. One day, right? I'm drawn to The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas, Oblomov, The Slave, Argonautica and Heart of a Dog. Which will it be ?????
ReplyDeleteOne of these days I'm going to read the Decameron--one of the last lingering books from that original classics club list. Really!
DeleteI've started The Slave, which is also a 1962 book.
The Decameron. Read it a few decades ago, in French, loved it!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to it!
DeleteThe Decameron! I hope you like bawdy stories about naughty priests. :D
ReplyDeleteWaal...I suppose I can manage a few of those at least... ;-)
