I promised earlier to list more of the books I want to read when I got home. And I am actually going to do it! There is a whole case of books next to my desk with two shelves full of books I have not read. One of the first I want to read is Donald Barthelme’s 60 Stories, which has been recommended on other blogs. I also have wanted to read Don DeLillo’s Mao II, which is about a failed novelist. I have a mixed history with DeLillo, but I hear this is a good one. I have a whole bunch of non-fiction too. Gulag; A History, which won the Pultizer prize this year, promises to be very informative and, I am sure, very depressing. To lighten up a bit, maybe I should read Samiel Pepys: The Unequalled Self by Claire Tomalin. Pepys lived through some amazing times and wrote down much of it. I have had The Time of Our Singing by Richard Powers sitting on the shelf for quite some time. I enjoyed the other book of his that I read Galatea 2.2. Whew, I have listed a lot of books. And there are more. I know this list will get interrupted by other books that make themselves known to me. And no I am not promising to have read these by the end of the summer or anything. I am not that foolish. Just listing things I want to read in the future. That’s all.
