For Lydia Davis and Yates the paper separates the books since they are collections. In Ada or Ardor they are for the family tree, chapters, and endnotes. Lydia Davis's story collections are so enjoyable. Just open to any page for fantastic mixes of realism, minimalism, and stories so tight that they seem like poetry

I don't get a lot of these pics... how many of these books are you going to read more than once? If you're not going to read them more than once, why keep them on a shelf? If you are reading them more than once, isn't there a new book you've never read before you'd be better off reading.

I don't know, I only save the really good stuff. No sense in having a shelf of everything you've read unless you're an insecure college professor or something.

Why do you think it makes someone insecure as a professor? No one wants to get rid of all their notes on what they've read. Some people keep those inside their books.

I have both (4 degrees total), but medievalism is a secondary field for me. I was tagged last-minute this term to teach a medieval intro course and felt insecure (my recent research has been mostly Victorian/Modernist stuff), so I maxxed out my examination copy requests from publishers (most of the books in that shot were sent to me free: I love the perks) just to give me more on-hand primary sources for planning lectures. I'm poor and happy to teach any course they offer me (we survive by being "generalists" and course-whores), but this was a lot of fun. Next month I'm teaching a modern American lit course at another university, so it's another abrupt paradigm shift.

Trying to bridge the generation gap? A former student suggested I check this board out, and despite the endless half-assed philosophy debates and inordinate love of Wallace and Pynchon, it is addictive and gives me a stramge sense of what my undergrads might be thinking.

Some good stuff here. Of course Hobbes, Maus and Ghost, and Dune, Tolkien, Lewis, Woolf, Gene Wolfe. I enjoy Mieville usually (a friend of mine used to have sex with him a lot, and introduced me to him). You seem to have a decent mix of SF/Fantasy and classics here.
I've never had a student mention Green to me (and I haven't read him), but everyone is reading Martin. However, a lot of the same students are giving me great work on Chaucer and Nabokov, so it doesn't seem to be an issue. Some are much more focused on highbrow lit to the exclusion of popular culture, but by grad seminar level, most people are more relaxed again. Also, I get the feeling this board is largely male, and in my courses, the majority is always female, so that changes the dynamic somewhat.

It's my favorite general anthology of modern Jlit. Read "Tattoo" by Tanizaki, "Seibei's Gourds" by Shiga Naoya and "Autumn Mountain" by Akutagawa from it when you next get time.

I like your Tain and Red Pine. And you should definitely grab the full Genji if you enjoyed and got through the abridged version easily. The biggest hindrance to reading it is those who think it's "boring," it seems.
