Ziller, what is it like?

Hmm. Violent. Weird but not utterly foreign. As Seiji M. Lippit and Jorge Luis Borges both note in the foreword and introduction, Akutagawa blended 'eastern' and 'western' elements; maybe those western influences make the works more accessible. Most stories seem to deal with the question of morals. Apparently the very last ones bear the marks of his impending breakdown and suicide, but I haven't gotten that far yet. Anyway, it's a good read.

I very much loved William Faulkner's Birdsong. That man is a contemporary classic author, no doubt about it. His novels just work on all levels, personal, declarative, and comfortably snug in thier feel of literary history. Superb stuff.

I'm reading Bram Stoker's Dracula (leisure) and studying A Midsummer Night's Dream and The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner by James Hogg.

I'd recommend them all to anyone of course!
