I couldn't handle if, and I live for literature. Let me know how you find it after you read it.

Hey, im a bimbo and I read it, what's not to love, Faust

Ale-you talked me into it. I bought 100 Years today. I shall hold you responsible if I can't handle it!!

100 Years is excellent, enjoy it.

I'm reading tons of lit. crit., but as far as actual literature goes...I just finished "Underworld" by Don DeLillo. Phenomenal.

In my humble opinion, it was drawn out, repetitive and without direction.
Of course, there is a probability that I just did not understand it.
I am not discouraging anyone from reading it by any means - it is a distinguished Nobel Prize Winner!

The Human Stain by Philip Roth

Just read Martin Amis's "The Rachel Papers." Hysterical, in a very adolescent way (it was his first book).

The Picture of Dorian Gray, for the first time. Oscar Wilde is such an incredible author! Gorgeous, almost luxurious writing, if that makes any sense. And I keep laughing out loud too, which is nice...I think he may be my favourite writer.
