I've read Notes from the Underground, Island, The Castle, The Mysterious Stranger, As I Lay Dying, most of the books by Leary, Wilson, and Crowley, and am gearing up to read Joyce. After being compared to him by almost every teacher that's read my writing, I do need to examine his works.

I do wish that I was more well-read.
