Need a tiebreaker. <br /><br />I have read Dubliners, Portrait of the Artist (for Joyce) and several Nabokov books (was thinking of Speak, Memory tho) and am a big fan of Flannery O, Eudora Welty and Carson McCullers (totally underrated in my mind). <br /><br />I am also happy to post a list of 12 books/authors I might prefer to read in a given year to illustrate what a *stretch* this is...so much cake so little timehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01467986717530365998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31083792.post-64201742100440059392009-11-11T15:34:45.079-08:002009-11-11T15:34:45.079-08:00ambitious but EXCELLENT goal! some of my favorite...ambitious but EXCELLENT goal! some of my favorites on here (I'm totally the opposite, classics nerd only recently catching up on contemporary stuff). <br /><br />Middlemarch is on my deserted island list, not only because it's so long (!) but because I truly respect George Eliot's breadth of composition, vision, & the social commentary she nestles into everything. <br /><br />can I recommend Tale of Two Cities (if you haven't read it) or Great Expectations for the Dickens, and then Speak, Memory or Lolita for Nabokov?<br /><br />okay, I'm totally geeking out here :) can't wait to hear more about this project, though...I'd love for you to post a parallel list of "contemporary classics," so I can edify myself likewise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31083792.post-68178221793402732022009-11-11T09:28:23.063-08:002009-11-11T09:28:23.063-08:00Your list is totally impressive.

It gets you used to Joyce's style without doing the research to understand his references. Faulkner is one of my favorite authors, and I would suggest Sanctuary or Absalom! Absalom! Both are very moving. A Tale of Two Cities is my favorite Dickens, but David Copperfield is good if you read it quickly. Also, Nabokov's Lolita is haunting and worth a read. Good luck, and if you want a 13th book, Flannery O'Connor's Wiseblood or anything by Eudora Welty are worth trying.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18405367881991708260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31083792.post-62152601043312713362009-11-11T07:50:49.456-08:002009-11-11T07:50:49.456-08:00Great Expectations is by far one of the best Dicke...Great Expectations is by far one of the best Dickens novels! I recommend it over all his others. Oliver Twist or David Copperfield would be my second recommendations.

Love this post. I wish every food server would read it. If a waiter can't show passion, knowledge or interest in the food being served, its hard to be interested as a guest. Its potentially subversive to the staff in the kitchen too, like when a server fails to properly describe a dish and the guest doesn't get what they expected.
