D.W. Buffa's Summer Reading List
Labyrinths : Selected Stories and Other Writings
by Jorge Luis Borges
Borges has an astonishing capacity to use language in utterly surprising ways. Thus, he has a character remark in an off-hand way: "I have many times in my life begun the study of metaphysics but have always been interrupted by happiness."
The Red and the Black
by Robert Stendhal
I have read it twice before, but I write what are sometimes called legal thrillers, and this, along with The Great Gatsby, are two of the best novels involving young men who in the course of inventing themselves become involved in serious crimes. So far as I am aware, no one shares this opinion.
Personal Narrative of a Pilgrimage to Al Madinah and Mecca
by Richard Francis Burton
Burton smuggled himself into Mecca by pretending to be an Arab. It is one of the great adventure stories.
Alfarabi and the Foundation of Islamic Political Philosophy
by Muhsin Mahdi
Mahdi is perhaps the leading student of Islamic political philosophy. Both this and the Burton book are of particular interest to me because of something I am about to write.
Mozart: A Life
by Maynard Solomon
Because of something on which I am now working, I wanted to read a biography of Mozart.
East of Eden
by John Steinbeck
I have been meaning to read it for years.
