intimidating books project
Jun. 16th, 2004 06:11 pmNow that finals are over, it's time for me to -- well, first it's time for me to eat chocolate, try my new nose spray, and loaf about a lot, but then it's time for me to read dense, intimidating books. So far, the list is:
Moonwise, Greer Ilene Gilman
Dhalgren, Samuel R. Delany
Ulysses, James Joyce
(There seems to be something about intimidating books and one-word titles.)
So, what should I add to my list? Nominees should be at least novel-length and difficult to read in a short period of time due to sheer richness, like those vegan brownies Wim gets, or due to thoroughly unnerving language use.
