It would be so easy to second everything, wipe my hands and say, "Well, my work here is done." Lest the the race be to the swift, however, I think I'll selfishly limit myself to seconding two works that fit into my current reading goals and await developments.
I supposedly have a concentration on 17th century England this year, which I ruefully have to admit was in abeyance this spring. Back in the saddle, I'll second Paradise Lost..
And on my list of topics I mean to get to has been a revisit of Faulkner, whom I read when I suspect he was over my head. Recent rereads of Tender is the Night and Lolita among others have demonstrated my lack of discernment and appreciation in my salad days. So I second The Sound and the Fury.
