Reply:You seem to like quite a few of the %26quot;classics%26quot; of various eras--to spice things up, I%26#039;d try some Faulkner--maybe %26quot;Go Down Moses%26quot; or, if you%26#039;re feeling ambitious, %26quot;The Sound and the Fury.%26quot; For something like 1984, maybe %26quot;The Man in the High Castle%26quot; by Philip K. Dick, and for something a bit more abstruse, maybe Franz Kafka? %26quot;The Trial%26quot; is very good, and is interesting on many metafictional levels, seeing as he died before finishing the novel. I%26#039;d also round things up with some Italo Calvino--absolutely anything by him is great, but I%26#039;d look into %26quot;If On a Winter%26#039;s Night a Traveler%26quot; if you like metafiction at all. And if you%26#039;re -really- looking for a bit of a mindbending read, try %26quot;The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle%26quot; by Haruki Murakami (though i%26#039;ll warn you that, though well done, the book does lean towards the graphic in a few scenes--it is, after all, a book fixated about the Japanese collective war guilt post WW2).





Hmm, maybe some plays? Tom Stoppard is a great read--are you a Shakespeare fan? While %26quot;Ronsencrantz and Guildenstern%26quot; is a bit more fun after reading Beckett%26#039;s %26quot;Waiting for Godot%26quot; and knowing Shakespeare%26#039;s %26quot;Hamlet%26quot; very well, it%26#039;s still a solid read on its own. His %26quot;Arcadia,%26quot; though, is possibly his most touching work, even if %26quot;Travesties%26quot; is just as funny and well done (though a bit pretentious at times). Ibsen is a must if you%26#039;re looking for a solid choice--%26quot;The Dollhouse%26quot; is pretty famous.





I wouldn%26#039;t concentrate on reading %26quot;to improve your vocabulary%26quot;--in all honesty, it%26#039;s more about the quality of the books you read than the number, and if you%26#039;re concerned about, let%26#039;s say, SAT vocab, reading Victorian era novels really won%26#039;t help you all that much. Just enjoy and don%26#039;t worry so much about making a long list for yourself--if you find that you like Joyce, read more by him and his contemporaries. If, however, someone like Atwood is more of your style, go with that!
