Sarah's (Loose Baggy Monster) List

I thought I would try to pull from my shelves as much as possible for this challenge. As a result, most of the books on these lists are ones that I already own and have shamefully neglected. These lists are subject to my admittedly capricious nature, however, so there's a good chance they will change at some point:

Initial Choices:

• Naguib Mahfouz ~ either Palace Walk or Children of the Alley
• Ernest Hemingway ~ A Farewell to Arms
• Jean Rhys ~ Wide Sargasso Sea
• Amos Oz ~ Tale of Love and Darkness
• Saul Bellow ~ The Adventures of Augie March
• Ellen Wood ~ East Lynne

Possible alternates:

• Penelope Fitzgerald ~ either The Bookshop or The Blue Flower
• E.M. Forster ~ A Passage to India, Where Angels Fear to Tread, or Howard’s End
• Julian Barnes ~ Flaubert’s Parrot or Arthur and George
• W.G. Sebald ~ Austerlitz
• Paula Fox ~ Desperate Characters
• Katherine Mansfield ~ Stories
• Thomas Hardy ~ Tess of the D’Urbervilles, Return of the Native, or Jude the Obscure
• William T. Vollmann ~ Europe Central
• Rebecca West ~ Black Lamb and Grey Falcon
• Vladimir Nabokov ~ Speak, Memory
• Joseph Heller ~ Catch-22
• D.H. Lawrence ~ Lady Chatterley’s Lover
• Matthew Kneale ~ English Passengers

I'm already tempted to change things around, but I'll resist for the time being. I'm really looking forward to seeing what everyone is reading!
