Well, I'm almost through Faulkner's Intruder in the Dust. After that I'll get back to Jeff Shaara's Gods and Generals, a historical tome on the Civil War (soon to be a movie this fall) which I started September 10th and didn't have the heart to pick up again. Then I'll move on to The Fatal Shore, the Robert Hughes' history of Australia that mav was so kind to send me. There's about 25 read-list contenders sitting on my shelf waiting to be plucked at the whim of the moment after that. And I'm always picking at poetry collections, history (most notably H.G. Wells' two-volume The Outline of History...I guess I've re-read it dozens of times, I just open any page and start, I never get enough of it), and humor.
Oh, and I plan to finish Philip Wylie's Generation of Vipers for the second time, one of the most controversial and stirring socio/philosophic rampages (and indictments of American [US] society) ever written. When it was first published in the 40's Communists called it Fascist, and Fascists called it Communist, and Wylie claimed to be neither, just speaking his mind. He makes a lot of good points, and he also says some things that piss me off...but a riveting read!
