Write as much or a little as you like (but preferably the former). I'll post my answers later.

1. Finnegans Wake, Joyce. I still can't read in the same way I did before.
2. The Bible. There's no way you can take any of it in first sitting.
3. Hegel's phenomenology of spirit. The only chance I'd ever get to finish it.
4. 100 days of Sodom. It's hilariously bad.
5. The complete Sarah Kane. Sick.
6. Anything by Joyce.
7. Whichever one started the beats, unless it was Miller or Burroughs.
8. Derrida's gift of death.
9. Pound's cantos.

God, I'm an unsufferable prick, aren't I?
