Arcadia: A Play

Arcadia

Tom Stoppard

I don't read many plays, but this one is beautiful. The overlapping timeframes work beautifully and I feel like I've got to see this one staged sometime.

Cannery Row: (Centennial Edition)

Cannery Row

John Steinbeck

For a short Steinbeck, this one's great. I'm always impressed at how profound Steinbeck can manage to be using a cast of goofy characters.

Song of Solomon

Song of Solomon

Toni Morrison

Probably one of my favorite books to teach because there's a little bit of everything in it.

Rilke's Book of Hours: Love Poems to God

Rilke's Book of Hours

Anita Barrows, Joanna Marie Macy

I've got no way to judge the translation (I can sing German, but little more than that), but the result is poetry I can read over and over.

Inferno (Bantam Classics)

Inferno

Dante Alighieri, Barry Moser, Allen Mandelbaum

One of those books that's got a lot to think about and just keeps coming up in conversation. I've heard there are a couple of great new translations out there and I kind of want to read one.
