Oh, I read that when I was seventeen and I was FASCINATED by it!
It was a difficult one for me to read at the time, but truly fascinating! I can't say otherwise!

Nowadays I shy away from the very hard stuff.

I undug "Pope Joan" from underneath all my second hand books.
So I am reading that now - long after everyone else has read it.

Until the night before yesterday it was Anne Tyler's "An Amateur Marriage". Something in there felt like home...

:deep sigh: Someday I'll have the time to really read again.

These days it's all about alternative photographic techniques, and the darkroom. I have a toning book on the way, too. :thumbup:

And last night, the darkroom section of the new Calumet catalog was keeping me enthralled. :lol:

I have 4 photo books (Occams Razor, Dialogue with Photography, Camera Lucida, & The Camera) to read and so far I have not started any of them.

Bill Jay is good fun. Dialogues is one to keep on the bedside table and re-read - it's a gem. Barthes' Camera Lucida is probably his best.

I'm reading Tragically I Was An Only Twin - the complete scripts of Peter Cook.
And I'm re-reading The Psychopathology of Everyday Life.
Then I'm going to go for either Hardy or Dickens.

My favorite book of all time.

Right now it's the 4th boot of the Dune series (God Emperor of Dune) by Frank Herbert. This stuff is actually good Sci-Fi

Awesome read! If you haven't already, make sure you read Animal Farm as well. :thumbsup:

I've got a crime/mystery novel sitting by the bed but no time to read it. :meh:
