Kurt Harden at Cultural Offering is reading and re-reading. He has also launched a very impressive "short story per day" project.
My current re-read list includes:
- The Edge of Sadness by Edwin O'Connor
- The Warden by Anthony Trollope
- Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray
- War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy
- Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad
- Modern Times by Paul Johnson
- The Effective Executive by Peter Drucker
- The Balkan Trilogy by Olivia Manning
- A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens
- I, Claudius by Robert Graves
Much of this summer's reading will involve re-reading several of Shakespeare's plays. There will be a strong preference for the tragedies.
Given the nature of mankind, they never go out of style.
