I GOT THIS AS A GRADUATION GIFT. I WILL CHECK IT OUT NOW THAT YOU HAVE RECOMMENDED IT IN ALL CAPS.

I like this list, but I would have chosen a different Faulkner novel. Absalom, Absalom and the Sound and the Fury are far better than Light in August.

Like everyone I know read The Life of Pi. Like everyone I know hated The Life of Pi. Me too.

A "great books" approach doesn't seem too bad to me from a liberal arts perspective. But good God, I cannot imagine trying to do a technical subject this way.

Re: Summer Reading
 

Yeah. That's a lot of reading. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Definitely some good ideas in there though.

I forgot to mention the first book of the summer for me, The Master and the Margarita by Bulgakov. It's a great read, and somewhat quick (445 pages or so). Tons of symbolism and humour.

I will recommend Pale Fire (Nabakov).
