1 - The Recognitions - Gaddis

2 - Ulysses - Joyce

3 - ADA - Nabokov

4 - Tristram Shandy - Sterne

5 - Wittgenstein's Mistress - Markson

6 - Women and Men - McElroy

7 - One Hundred Years of Solitude - Garcia Marquez

8 - If on a winter's night a traveler - Calvino

9 - Darconville's Cat - Theroux

10 - JR - Gaddis

If I include Pynchon, GR goes in at #2. Mason & Dixon probably hits at 9 or
10.

Every list like this begets so many questions, and this list is such of the
moment, ask me tomorrow and it all might shift a bit.

Peace

Mark

 
 Every man seeks peace by waging war, but no man seeks war by making peace
-- St Augustine

Our enemies' opinion of us comes closer to the truth than our own -- La
Rochefoucauld

How good bad music and bad reasons sound when we march against an enemy --
Nietzsche
