Some other options were …

(I’ve already put this in a comment but wanted to see if making it a top-level Post would do more interesting formatting, such as embedding the pages at the end of the links)

Here were the other “literary” oriented classes I was considering:

Kierkegaard’s Fear and Trembling
But this would be just manufacturing interest, not totally sincere

A First Experience with Finnegans Wake Part One

Of course the issue of my book-removal process would be, if anything, even more acute than with the Nabokov. There is really only one edition and pagination, and I had it in a firm and trusty hardcover that already had lots of notes. Ah well.

The Black American Novel
I really enjoyed instructor Paul Cato’s class a while back on Ellison’s Invisible Man, and almost took his class on James Baldwin

Robert Musil, The Man Without Qualities
This is a book I’ve heard good things about for a long time.
