reading a collection of short stories written by Katherine Mansfield.

never realised how amazingly intricate they are or how the stories inspired so many.

Catch 22 by Joseph Heller. Intermittent readings, only just started. Had to stop because of study.

+1. Love it. <3

Reading Ibsen's Hedda Gabler at the moment, next up is Pillars of Society.

Hedda Gabler! Reading through only part in Drama makes it feel trivial and unimportant, but it's when you get to really read that it has charm to it. Love to know what you think of the end!

Mao's Last Dancer.

My older neighbour lent it to me, and i was like "meh, old person's book" and didn't read it for ages, but then i started it and i LOVE it. It's personally signed by Li Cunxin himself, too.

inspired by the "cult classics" thread i'm reading the catcher in the rye.

i haven't read it since i was fifteen so it should be nice to re-read it.

I bought Ulysses, The Brothers Karamazov and The Age of Reason.
Which one should I read first?
That is, when I've finished Atlas Shrugged. I don't think it ever ends, to be honest...

Best European Fiction 2010 edited by Aleksandar Hemon.

It's excellent and it's long-lasting. I have to wait like a day between each short story to let them sit before I can adequately launch into the next one.
