I'm seeing a lot of people sharing 5 American authors they admire. What about 5 American novels?
My choices would perhaps be:
- Moby-Dick (Melville)
- East of Eden (Steinbeck)
- The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (Twain)
- The Great Gatsby (Fitzgerald)
- The House of the Seven Gables (Hawthorne)
- The Sound and the Fury (Faulkner)
Yes, I can count, but I couldn't leave Faulkner out of the list.
“The world is so old that the substance of reality no longer knows quite what it ought to be. The original template is hopelessly blurred. History repeats over and again this one city and a few frightful events... as if it understands nothing else but would like to learn.”
