The second batch of books from our good friend and ex-landlady were amazing.
My old lady read James Baldwin's "Giovanni's Room" and Ernest Hemingway's "The Sun Also Rises" but that was a while back and I can't quite recall exactly what she thought of them.
I read David Sedaris' "Barrel Fever" and instantly became a fan of his, backdated to 1994. Cormac McCarthy's "The Road" contains some of the most scary & horrible passages I've ever read. It was awesome.
Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World" was thought provoking, but I feel an urge to disclaim it as "overly sci-fi", especially for an underly sci-fi guy such as myself.
I couldn't stomach Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels", I literally gave up on the 3rd paragraph. However, I've witnessed the television miniseries starring Ted Danson, and have faith that no stones were left unturned in that interpretation.
I very much enjoyed Gabriel Garcia Marquez' "Chronicle of a Death Foretold" and am quite sure in my opinion that (Spoiler Alert) Santiago did NOT bang Angela.
I am currently reading Hermann Hesse's "Siddhartha" and upon completion will gather these books and return them.
