Freedom...

I just wrote my last undergrad exam last night and feel somewhat cathartic that it is over. I feel that now I can write and read without obligation literature that I want to read. And to cultivate my fiction portfolio, I asked my wife to recommend three books to read. They were Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin, Dostoevsky's The Idiot, and Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray (note: these are not her top three novels, just novels recommended for me).

This post is selfish in nature (aren't all posts though?) in that I am now accountable to read these books. Hopefully I will be posting about them in the future.

  1. The Idiot is likely my favourite work of fiction! It is closely followed by: Survivor by Chuck Palahniuk; On the Road by Jack Kerouac and White Noise by Don DeLillo (no relation to the terrible movie starring Michael Keaton) if you want other suggestions.

  2. I just read "I love you forever" by Robert Munsch to Jack. Becoming one of my favorites.
