1- Toni Morrison, Home. Not excellent but good enough, I wanna read a little more from her.
2- Odon von Horvath, The Eternal Philistine. Funny but not as good as his unfunny novellas.
3- Probably Zweig, Amok - because it's short enough to make it into the october reads.

3) The Tin Drum by Grass

Do you read these books in that specific order? do you have a schedule for each one of these books or do you read them at random? if so (at random) which book do you read most to least in a day/week?

I read them in order from top to bottom. Meaning I read the ones at the bottom last.

I’ll typically read them all in one day, sometimes on a work day I’ll only read the first one. I work nine hour days right now so I don’t have a lot of time to read. Especially since I’m trying to organize my apartment and keep a steady girlfriend.

Kind of curious who got the 0s.
