Well, I finished Montauk, by Max Frisch. I somehow got side-tracked on reading Malina, by his good friend Ingeborg Bachmann. But that's OK: I'll get to it after I finish my two current reads listed below:
Life & Times of Michael K, by J.M. Coetzee. I have about 35 pages left on this. This is a sad book on human suffering, but one that also celebrates the value of every individual who seeks a voice in overcoming the tyranny of mindless governmental control. This book won the Booker Prize for Best Novel. And, of course, Coetzee won the Nobel Prize in Literature [2003].
I'm also reading Post Office, by Charkes Bukowski, which is a hoot.
When I finish those two, I'll likely gravitate to Ms. Bachmann's book, an author I'm looking forward to reading...like, RIGHT NOW! RIGHT NOW, I SAY!!!
