The last one is our December read, but I couldn't get the November read until now.

A re-read of A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole, 40 years after my 1st reading. It's pretty much as though I'm reading it for the 1st time.

The Atrocity Exhibition by J.G. Ballard, an "experimental novel". I got it with a 4-month Audible trial at $6/mo. But perhaps I had enough experimental for a while from Buddha's Little Finger by Pelevin.

How could they make that into an audiobook? It has a lot of photographs.

JenniferAustin (austinrh) | 5 comments I just started Dangling Man by Saul Bellow.

I have previously read and enjoyed Saul Bellow. This is his first novel, and I am impressed at how good he was from the start.

I am looking forward to more Saul Bellow on this list!

Probably I should try to get a paper book to see what I'm missing. Maybe that would help.

The Knot of Vipers by François Mauriac from 1932. He is a little-known (at least outside of France) Nobel Prize winner.

Jamie Barringer (Ravenmount) (ravenmount) | 48 comments Parade's End, by Ford Madox Ford. It's the quarterly read for the first quarter of 2023 in the Reading 1001 group and I am moderating, so I am starting a few days early.
