Wrestling the great big behemoth aka my library
It's a great big beast, and here i shall detail 20 parts of it
1. William T Vollmann - lord have mercy, haven't counted what there is yet of this guy here and on the way, but it's a mighty large chunk, that will be paying off years down the road.
2. William Faulkner - one novel at a time, currently As I Lay Dying .... and shucks he's a real hoot and not so difficult when some of the others are in the everlasting current is.
3. David Foster Wallace - his biggie, and so far the only one of his i have, challenging, but funny sometimes, other times touching, other times, i'm like what is going on!!!
4. Montaigne
5. Pascal
6. La Rochefoucauld
7. Chamfort
8. La Bruyere
9. Vauvenargues
10. Fontenelle
11. Voltaire - sweet lovin' god almighty on mount everest and farted 10 hours long, these are my French buddies, giving me insight and stuff
12. Nietzsche - the more i think about this guy, the less easy he is!!
13. Cioran - my #1 might not be at the top after i get further down my reading path
14. Cormac McCarthy - just 3 works i have, next big purchase was gonna be more of him, but i dunno since i gots da Vollmann bug and all
15. Cervantes - yep, can't let this slide into the dnf territory
16. Thomas Bernhard - well nigh over 20 distinct works by this Austrian
17. The Christians - grouping them all here, if you need to know more, well don't be shy!!!
18. The Poets - same as above, i'm condensing the space here big time as my burgers are almost cooked.
19. The philosophers - ditto
20. Anais Nin - one word ... diary ....
21. now here i will place the other biggie alongside #3, only 2 of those mofo's at a time, it could be Gaddis, or Gass, or a 2nd Vollmann, keep an eye out, i'll be too enthusiastic to keep silent for long.
