Also procrastinating . . . <br />I read several books by Faulkner in college and I think Light in August was the one I liked best, but that was ages ago, so that's not exactly a solid endorsement.

I've read the first and got halfway through the second before having to be awakened from my coma ..... ha, ha! ;-) Oh, and Pascal might be good, but deep.

I'm reading some Thornton Wilder plays at the moment, and I like what I've read so far. But The Magic Mountain was a book that was painful for me to read. The main character frustrated me to no end. If the Spin is #6, then I hope you like it much better than I did!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
