Could either one of you fine gentleman (if you can be bothered  ) recommend a short list of books I simply must read?
I have a long period off soon, and I'd very much like to engage some good writing. |
Well it really depends on what you are looking for. I always read something by an author, and then read his collection later. My first recs would be Pale Fire, Lolita, and Madame Bovary. Then, I'd recommend Petersburg by Andrei Bely and The Overcoat by Gogol. And of course, I am nearing completion.
