Books on my nightstand read part-way (to help explain why I finish so few):
Rereads:
Numbers in the Dark (c. 100 pages in)
The Trial (80)
The Scarlet Letter (70)
In Our Time (40)
Don Juan (250)
If on a Winter's Night a Traveler (180)
New to me:
Year of the Death of Ricardo Reis (120)
The Cave (110)
Selected Poems of Whitman, ed. Bloom (50)
Nemesis (200)
Invisible Man (50)
Pride and Prejudice (70)
Tender Is the Night (50)
Borges at 80 (50)
Six Memos for the Next Millennium (40)
The Selfish Gene (80)
ABBA ABBA (30)
Almost done with my main reading of the last weeks, Bloom's two early Romantic Poetry anthologies and his Oxford Anthology with Trilling--except the Shelley portions. But they overlap extensively with those Ecco "Essential" volumes, as does Auden's Signet selection from Byron, which got me started on the Don Juan. Been reading a lot of Byron's and Keats' letters, too, but not in order. Can anyone read a letters volume through? I sure can't; I've never seen a biopic that didn't drag.
