1. Brideshead Revisited - Evelyn Waugh
2. Play It As It Lays - Joan Didion (or pretty much anything she’s written)
3. Donna Tartt - The Secret History
4. Susan Sontag - On Photography
5. The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With The Sea - Yukio Mishima
6. If You Knew Then What I Know Now - Ryan Van Meter
7. Never Let Me Go - Kazuo Ishiguro
8. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - Hunter S. Thompson
9. The Reader - Bernhard Schlink
10. Camera Lucida - Roland Barthes
“How does distance look?” is a simple direct question. It extends from a spaceless
