Right now: pic related, and Leaves of Grass.

Next up is probably Blood Meridian, although I have a very long list.

Oh man Harold Bloom sucks compared to these guys: http://brothersjudd.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/reviews.home

I like this review on To the Lighthouse:

Okay, I read a bunch of criticism to figure out why this book is on the list, never mind why it's so high on the list. As one would expect, the critics are awash in psychoblither. But there's one thing I didn't see, and it's the obvious one, Virginia Woolf was consumed by penis envy. What the hell else could the title of the freakin' book mean?
Let's parse the phrase:

To: towards
the: the
Lighthouse: enormous erect phallus
I'm thinking you don't need a graduate degree to figure this one out.
A noxious blend of James Joyce, Sigmund Freud & feminism, it's all interior monologues & mini-epiphanies. No worthwhile human being could possibly live a productive life while having these banal, self-important soliloquies running through his head--we'd still be in caves.

Grade: (F)

it has sentimental value.

I'm finding this very difficult to get through, my mind keeps wandering as I'm reading and before I know it, several paragraphs have passed and I haven't paid attention at all.

Is it worth continuing?
