Done most of those as well Larry Send a noteboard - 22/02/2011 12:15:42 PM
Try some Prussian, Austro-Hungarian, Savoyard, Ottoman, Burgundian, Venetian or Neapolitan writers, or go back farther and read some Lycian, Cilician, Seleucid or Ptolemaic writers. Read an author from Axum or Punt or Cyrenaica, or from Akkad or Assyria.

I do not believe that I have read any Austro-Hungarian writers before, and am reading Schnitzler now and will read Kafka (I've never read any Kafka) after that. Austria-Hungary qualifies.


Don't forget the Heptarchy, as I've had to read quite a few things from Wessex, Mercia, Northumbria and most, if not all, of the others years ago

Shocked that you've never read Kafka. I'm going to be reviewing his Der Prozeß/The Trial later this week.

Oh. I didn't quite understand how it worked. Thank you for clarifying. Now if I can just remember Tashmere - 22/02/2011 12:25:45 AM 873 Views
That sort of challenge actually makes it more difficult for the more well-read readers, I'd think Larry - 22/02/2011 02:48:23 AM 995 Views
Re: Isn't that also the point? To stretch your limits, however far out they might be? Danae al'Thor - 22/02/2011 04:54:26 AM 1159 Views
After a while, it becomes much easier to forget which have been read than to remember which haven't Larry - 22/02/2011 05:07:49 AM 873 Views

I have that problem Camilla - 22/02/2011 02:45:11 PM 915 Views
Perhaps I don't make that assumption because I read some unusual books. Tom - 22/02/2011 08:14:42 PM 1109 Views
Only that I take you for one of the few people who are more widely-read than I am, that's all *NM* Larry - 22/02/2011 04:20:35 PM 389 Views
But I can only read 30-40 books a year at a maximum! Tom - 22/02/2011 08:10:14 PM 824 Views
