SUMMER FICTION READING LIST



after enjoying the moviegoer so much, i've decided to go back & read a few of my other favorites from my wayward youth. i think there's a good balance between what i'm expecting to be quick reads & books that require an effort of concentration & commitment. i may actually read on the road instead of the late book i've chosen by kerouac. we'll see.


the moviegoer---walker percy
the crying of lot 49---thomas pynchon
a fan's notes---fred exley
the horse's mouth---joyce cary
the recognitions---william gaddis
nightwood---djuna barnes
dance dance dance---haruki murakami
big sur---jack kerouac
under the volcano---malcolm lowry
our lady of the flowers---jean genet


leading up to the late summer releases of pynchon's inherent vice & william vollman's imperial.
