Anyway, top ten, not necessarily in order:
2666 (Bolaño) White Noise (DeLillo) Beloved (Morrison) Ulysses (Joyce) The Emigrants (Sebald) Swann's Way (Proust) The Awakening (Chopin) The Sonnets (Berrigan) Ficciones (Borges) Suspended Sentences (Modiano)
This has remained extremely consistent over the years. I like that about you.
I kept it mostly to fiction, and I've been reading more poetry and non-fiction over the past few years.

go on..
I mean it's certainly better than reading any of those charlatans whose names are being bandied about in G&D like Peterson and Sowell, but that's not a carefully constructed list by any means.

Take it easy, lil' guy. I was just riffing on the strat method. I don't actually want to read your sophomoric volumes.

Okay, maybe the Kafka one. And Ecology Without Nature.

Forgot about Pollan, he would probably make a more considered top-10.

Taking a page from ST, if I had to do my next five, so to speak, it'd probably be:
The Battlefield Where The Moon Says I Love You (Stanford) In The Heart of the Heart of the Country (Gass) The Wind-Up Bird Chronicles (Murakami) Leaving the Atocha Station (Lerner) Never Any End to Paris (Vila-Matas)

I've done The Black Notebook and Paris Nocturne and loved both. This is going to my next by Modiano. It was really between Suspended Sentences and Paris Nocturne the last time I picked on up.

I haven't read a lot but this one really got me. It's haunting.
