Books

Tonight, I finished reading A Confederacy of Dunces. It was actually the third book in a row that I've read where the main character ends up getting committed to an asylum. (Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, Catcher in the Rye, Confederacy of Dunces.)

But Dunces was much lighter reading than Zen. I'd actually read Dunces before, but I remembered very little of it. I don't think the book is as brilliant as I'd hoped, but I enjoyed it.

So, the books I've read recently are:
Confederacy of Dunces
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
Catcher in the Rye
To Kill a Mockingbird
Conquistador: Hernan Cortes, King Montezuma, and the Last Stand of the Aztecs

I'm not sure what I'll pick up next. I'm thinking East of Eden or On the Road.
