Just finished Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad. And surprisingly it is not talking about the female heart it's actually about a trip into the depths of the African Congo. I had no idea until I just looked it up that it was the basis for Apocalypse Now. I don't know why...maybe it was the style of writing but I really didn't care for this book. It just never grabbed me. It was less than a hundred pages and felt like it took me forever to finish.
Next up is The Book of Evidence by John Manville as selected by my most trusted advisor Matthew.

I suggest "A Modest Proposal." It's quite short, and a satire.
ReplyDeleteA Tale of a Tub by Swift is actually among the next five on my list.
