 | Fup by Jim Dodge
Buy used from: £0.01 A very short novel and one of my favourite books. Superb storytelling - a rural American bizarre fairytale.
|
 | A Confederacy of Dunces (Pocket Penguin Classics) by John Kennedy Toole
Buy new: £6.47 / Used from: £3.70 This is a cult classic and might make it into the canon yet. Tragi-comedy heaving and chuffing with side-splitting humour and critical insight into the human and particularly white western 'condition'
|
 | The Idiot (Penguin Classics) by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Buy new: £6.74 / Used from: £2.80 Timeless. As one reviewer puts it: "this is a classic study of bourgeois hypocrisy, deceit and corruption"
|
 | Mrs. Dalloway (Wordsworth Classics) by Virginia Woolf
Buy new: £1.99 / Used from: £0.01 As a project of love in exploring the power of literary form and experiment, I recommend reading all of Woolf's novels in their chronological order. However I will choose a sample - this was her 3rd.
|
 | Orlando (Wordsworth Classics): A Biography by Virginia Woolf
Buy new: £1.99 / Used from: £0.01 Woolf's 4th. Fictional biography of an adventurer that includes comedy, costume, religion, philosophy, sex, art but so much more!
|
 | To the Lighthouse (Wordsworth Classics) by Virginia Woolf
Buy new: £1.99 / Used from: £0.01 Woolf's 5th. Poetic and epic, experimental. Domestic and intimate, paradoxically. Ideological stances in art, philosophy and society elegantly observed and played upon. I can't do this book justice!
