reading list countdown
Around last January I went through a spate of buying a bunch of used and new books, and I found that, unfortunately, my eyes were bigger than my available reading time. So I piled the books in the family room and vowed not to buy any new ones until I had gotten all the way through the pile. Back in the spring there were maybe twenty books there. Now I'm within sight of the end! If I can just get these read (in addition to school reading) by Christmas, I'll be able to use the gift certificates I'm sure I'll end up with as presents.Here's what's left in the pile:
Swimming Lessons, by Rohinton Mistry (just started)
Selected Stories, by Alice Munro (I'm halfway through)
Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, by Annie Dillard
The Double, by Jose Saramago
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, by Tom Stoppard
Arcadia, by Tom Stoppard (already read this, but I like it so I'm reading it again)
Waiting for Godot, by Samuel Beckett
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, by Edward Albee
Look Homeward, Angel, by Thomas Wolfe
The Unfolding of Language, by Guy Deutscher
Empires of the Word: A Language History of the World, by Nicholas Ostler
