i wrote up a bit of a list, but it's stuck to the van wall under the quote "tonight you will sleep in thirteen sobey's bags in the river" (not you, someone in the van, it was chilling), but perhaps this is what i remember...
NINE STORIES (jd salinger- espec. "for esme, with love and squalor" and "a good day for banana fish") THE THINGS THEY CARRIED (tim o'brien/o'brian?) (pomo vietnam war memoir fiction!) IN OUR TIME (ernest hemingway- or really any collection of short stories) ANSWERED PRAYERS (truman capote) MURDER IN THE DARK (margaret atwood- read it selectively, it doesn't always deliver)

Oh geez, you and your Margaret Atwood! Anyway, thank you so much for suggestions! Maybe after I get through everything I have now, plus all those, I'll finally be able to tackle the Oscar Wilde.
Maybe.
Thank you for the internet list. Don't throw away the real thing because handwritten ones are infinitely better / less loseable so I still want it!
I hope you and everyone and stumpyvan are safe and enjoying your time in southern Ontario!
So on a final Mythbusters note, I forgot my favourite episode OF ALL TIME! Did you see the "brown note" one? The premise is so ridiculous that I laugh uncontrollably every time I even think about it. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, there is handily a recap of the madness here. Seriously, best ever.
