I take good care of my books. Might be easier to list which I -haven't- read:

Legacy of Totalitarianism in a Tundra (kek)
Kepler
Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana
Pictor's Metamorphoses
Palm-of-the-hand Stories
Joseph and His Brothers
Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage
Flann O'Brien Novels
Orfeo
In the First Circle
Zeno's Conscience
We
The Handmaid's Tale
Solar Lottery
The Good Man Jesus and His Scoundrel Christ
On the Beach
Sword and Citadel
The Day of the Triffids(currently reading)

By my count that's 65 read and 17 unread; the poetry is excluded since I've only read a handful of them cover to cover but they're more for reference and reading excerpts for now and then.

I have other shelves across the country with...IDK probably a couple hundred? books that are I'd guess 85-90% read.

not all of the books there are books I like. Terry Pratchett and "How to be well informed" were gifts from my parents two years ago and I have yet to read them. The Neil Gaiman was loaned to me by a friend who insisted I read it, and I thought it was pretty mediocre. "I know what you did last supper" is a meme book my brother bought me as a joke.

I'm sorry if I upset you though.

if you like ulysses (sirens in particular) you'll like him. burgess was definitely going for something similar here. i hesitate to say it was completely successful but i think it was a really fun read as soon as you catch on to what he's doing. it really helps if you know either beethoven's 3rd really well (musically) or if you know napoleonic history really well. he's very obtuse with his names and characters and as someone who was good with the music but bad with the history i had to do a bit of googling and wiking to get my plot/context straight.

if you're not a fan of experimental writing/prose then maybe skip it.

trying to get my hands on a copy of mozart and the wolf gang, which i understand does somethign similar with mozart's 40th symphony. afaik out of print so i'll have to hunt down a used copy somewhere.

cheers. let me know what you think if you do end up reading it, definitely not a book that gets talked about as much here.

actually surprising how little burgess is discussed here when considering the giant boner we all have for joyce/ulysses. probably because all most people know burgess for is a clockwork meme?
