I like to read, but 95% of what I read is non fiction, so periodically I go on a “fiction binge.”  My last fiction binge was 2009. 

yeah, I said periodically - what do you want from me?

anyway, its time to delve into the classics again. I try to read “a book I should have read in high school.”   Last time it was Steinbeck, Hemmingway, Faulkner and Harper Lee.  Harper Lee doesn’t really count - I read “To Kill a Mockingbird” every other year or so.

This time, its Twain, Dostoevsky and Dickens.  I’ve read Twain and Dickens before, but not much.  Dostoevsky will be my first Russian experience. Since this blog is moving toward a confessional tone, I’ll admit to never having read Tolkein. 

I know, I’m an unschooled heathen.

Twain first - Huck Finn.  Haven’t read it since elementary school. 

then off to Crime and Punishment, then I’ll see.
