I finished “The Lady with the Little Dog” by Chekhov yesterday, there's only one more short story on the compilation book I have, “The Bishop”. Next I want to start “Père Goriot” by Balzac as I downloaded the epub on my kindle like 3 years ago but never read it.

I read American Pastoral. It's mostly about a family dealing with their daughter going full radical activist mode during Vietnam. Its narrative style has some things in common with the Updike Rabbit books, with regard to frequently focusing on the minutiae of American family life at specific periods of time rather than rapidly advancing the story's plot, but its subject matter is more serious. I think it's an interesting take on intergenerational conflict.
