Re-Reads



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.
