Robert, I hope you are going to compile the list when this is all over.
Perhaps you could gin up a reading group for the City University of Santa Fe Spring Coffee House Seminars. Do we know anybody with a PhD in English who would lead us?

And just to confirm that my literary education is somewhat lacking, I noticed that I've read only 4 of them. Any more recommendations? Thanks, Robert C On 10/8/10 1:44 PM, Robert J.
