From Time to Time.
Jack Finney. Novel. While time travel is fantasy, the issue raised by both Time and Again and From Time to time, could become a serious problem. If we could
travel back in time, what would happen if we tried to alter what actually
happened in history?
A Handful of Dust. Evelyn Waugh. Novel. A portrait of the decadent British aristocratic world of the 1930s.
Decline and Fall.
Evelyn Waugh. Novel. Paul Pennyfeather becomes a member of a dysfunctional
faculty in a public school in England.
I, Claudius. Robert Graves.
Novel. My research presented Claudius as far from the benign, scholarly
narrator of Graves’ I, Claudius. He
was as cruel as his predecessors and the emperors who followed him. The time of
Augustus, Tiberius and Caligula, and, following Claudius, Nero.
All the King’s
Men.
Robert Penn Warren. Novel. The complexity of a politician’s motivation.
Anthem. Ayn Rand.
Novel. An antidote to the culture of melding the individual into the group.
As I Lay Dying. William
Faulkner. Novel. Faulkner uses words to help the reader visualize the
character, mood and even the weather in the South after the Civil War.
