Excellent list, though I'm a tad worried you've set your expectations too high.

I'm pretty confident I can read all of these, only thing I'm worried about getting through are the Gass and Vollmann. I have a lot of trouble with Gass' prose.
I completely threw out my list after Catch 22 bored the fuck out of me. I still have an idea of what I want to do though:
Pornografia, Gombrowicz
Written on the Body, Winterson
The Tartar Steppe, Buzzati
Tao Te Ching, Tzu
The Name Of The Rose, Eco
Beloved, Morrison
The Frogs, Aristophanes
and then finish Catch 22 at some point
>>7681308
Oh and I feel I should mention most of these are library books so I will definitely get to them.
Book of the New Sun (first 4 volumes)
Crying of Lot 49
Selling For Dummies (assigned for a class, so why not?)
Maybe V. as well if I have time.
