Hey, folks. Today’s Daily Prompt is all about reading. Specifically, what books you’d reread if you have enough free time. Looking at my shelf…Well, it’s probably better to make a list. Consider these:
- House Of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski
- Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy
- The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami
- One Hundred Years Of Solitude by Gabiel Garcia Marquez
- American Gods by Neil Gaiman
- Pale Fire by Vladamir Nobokov
- The Pale King by David Foster Wallace
- The Stand by Stephen King
- Catch-22 by Joseph Heller
- Collected Fictions by Jorge Luis Borges
As you might guess, I have a thing for postmodernism and strange, but incredible narratives. I’ll gladly take another spin with Judge Holden, Charles Kinbote, and Randall Flagg any day of the week. I’ll always enjoy the blending of reality and magic, be it a house that is bigger on the inside than its outside, ancient deities trying to make in the modern world, or a library that stretches into infinity. The comedy and tragedy of characters like Yossarian and the staff of the 1985 Peoria IRS are both hilarious and tear-jerking every time.
Oh, nostalgia. Maybe I’ll go another round with these soon…
