I've always wanted to read Faulkner's version of "All the King's Men". Can you imagine a stream of consciousness text of Willie Stark?

Aw man, or Tennessee Williams' "Confederacy of Dunces"? We must invite Melonsong for the next Lit Festival --we must! He could Read from Ann Rice's "Dead Man Walking".

Hmmm...makes one helluva meme. Kate Chopin's "The Queen of the Damned"? Zora Neale Hurston's "Gone With The Wind"? Pat Conroy's "The Princess Bride"? Jack Kerouac's "An Unfinished Woman"?

Can't wait to get my hands on George W. Bush's "Dreams from My Father."

On a related note: it's always amusing when politicians send out press releases on things they had nothing to do with -- namely, the awarding of that grant.
