Why do I post it? Well, just to give to my followers some information. Maybe some of you will be intrigued by the books of my list. I don't know.</p> <p>Obviously, I can't even say if those books are very good, or not, or really to forget. I've not read them yet. But I know the authors. And, of course, <em>I know why I want to read those books.</em></p> <p><em>I chose from my stack just books in English, or translated in English - but I'm going to read the italian translation, mostly.</em></p> <p>Let's start with a French surrealist writer and ethnographer: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_Leiris">Michel Leiris</a> </p> <p>The Leiris' book I'm going to read is his most important work: <em>L'Âge d'homme</em> (<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Manhood-Journey-Childhood-Fierce-Virility/dp/0226471411"><em>Manhood</em></a>). (<a href="http://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/M/bo3617216.html"><em>Alt link</em></a>)</p> <p>In this book, which is an autobiographical story, there is an essay, "<em>The Literature as Bullfight</em>", where the author talks about his view on art and literature, comparing the activity of the writer to the bullfighter's one. It is a point of view on Literature and Art which is opposite to other's ones that consider Literature and Art as a game or a play.</p> <center><p><img src="http://www.intexte.net/docenligne/age_d_homme.jpg" width="1219" height="850"/></p></center> <p>The second and third book I'm going to read are two collections of stories by american writer <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Barthelme">Donald Barthelme</a>, an author I really love. What can I see about Barthelme? Read it, that's all! The Barthelme's books I have on my desk now are "<em>Amateurs</em>" and "<em>City life</em>".</p> <center><p><img src="https://raggedclawsnetwork.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/donald-barthelme.jpg" width="661" height="286"/></p></center> <p>The fourth book I'll talk you about is a scifi and fun story. "<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Crawling_Terror">The Crawling Terror</a>" is an adventure of Doctor Who, by Mike Tucker, and I have not to add anything more. The 12th Doctor and Clara in a unpublished story!</p> <center><p><img src="https://steemitimages.com/DQmQZguh6Rgck5Nh7TaXD7GuBUouDGPYitU6omHbayjVSki/The_Crawling_Terror.jpg"/></p></center> <p>The last book of this first part is an old novel: "<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trilby_(novel)"><em>Trilby</em></a>" by George Du Maurier. It's a bohemien story about an old artist, Svengali, and a young woman. It anticipate the theme of the artist's life and its sense (Jean Paul Sartre wrote about it later in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nausea_(novel)"><em>Nausea</em></a>). <em>Trilby</em> was a very popular novel in the end of 19th century. It was adapted for the cinema seven times - the last one in <em>Svengali </em>(1983), a TV movie starring Peter O'Toole and Jodie Foster.</p> <center><p><img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/1a/Trilby-first.jpg/220px-Trilby-first.jpg" width="220" height="312"/></p></center> <p><em>Next parts of my Reading Tips will be posted soon! :)</em></p> <p><em>Merry Xmas!</em></p> <center><p><img src="https://steemitimages.com/DQmWSYK3TaH4GyX5L6zno8QNFJb15fhH7kM3Gx5UMA64oWh/follow_paolobeneforti.gif" width="397" height="60"/></p></center> <p>Images sources: http://www.pantagrublog.com/2016/11/l-age-d-homme.l-incipit.html http://blog-dominique.autie.intexte.net/blogs/index.php/2006/07/17/jeanne_d_arc_sado_maso https://raggedclaws.com/2012/02/15/donald-barthelme-on-the-ugly-sentence/</p> </html>

Thanks for your recommendations! I'm on vacation and I have my days off, so I have time to read. I'm interested in "The Crawling Terror", I'll look for it in my nearest bookstore. Thank you very much and merry christmas!

Great choices! I read a little Barthelme a while back and have been meaning to pick him up again... He's a master of the form.
