hello again

I have accumulated a lot of books in the past few months, in truth I probably have enough to quit my life and read full time for a year or two.

These are the books I most want to read at the moment, increasing in intensity as you go down the list:


Two People- A.A. Milne
Doctor Faustus- Thomas Mann
The Brothers Karmazov- Fyodor Dostoevsky
Lolita- Vladimir Nabokov
The Divine Comedy- Durante degli Alighieri
Paradise Lost- John Milton
Thus Spake Zarathrustra- Friedrich Nietzsche
As I Lay Dying- William Faulkner
The Sun Also Rises- Ernest Hemingway

I'm open to strongly worded suggestions also.

I have every other book by Hemingway apart from The Sun Also Rises, though his posthumous publications are all in paperback, because I've been holding out to get a nice copy. I have too much to read at the moment though, so I've read far too little of it. I'm probably going to give in and buy one that has a little chunk out of the cover soon though, because I really want to read it. My brother has my copy of Paradise Lost, my sister has Two People, and I don't have As I lay Dying, Lolita, or Thus Spake Zarathrustra. The latter of which I'll probably have to order in, the others I should be able to get secondhand.

I'm reading The Castle right now, hopefully I can get the others soon. I'm thinking of starting with Lolita after I'm done with The Castle [Kafka], assuming I can find a copy cheaply.
