[Paul Murphy]

Having no idea how to hierarchize these books, I'll just throw 'em out
higgledy-piggledy.

Beckett's Trilogy (_Molloy_, _Malone Dies, _The Unnameable_); Proust's
_Remembrance of Things Past_, Joyce's _Ulysses_, Sterne's _Tristram
Shandy_, Goethe's _Elective Affinities_, Dostoevsky's _Crime and
Punishment_, Garcia Marquez's _One Hundred Years of Solitude_, Kafka's _The
Trial_, Pynchon's _Gravity's Rainbow_, and Knut Hamsun's _Hunger_.

(I've left out philosophy books on purpose. My philosophy list, in case
anyone cares, is: _The Republic_, The Meditations of Descartes, Leibniz's
Monadology, Kant's _Critique of Pure Reason_, Hegel's _Phenomenology of
Spirit_, Nietzsche's _Twilight of the Idols_, Heidegger's _Being and Time_
and _The Principle of Reason_, Adorno's _Minima Moralia_, and Lyotard's
_The Differend_).

Cheers,
Paul
