  CHECK READING LIST (3)

      - [Virtue]

      - Malone Dies [Books (First Lines)]

I am in my mother's room. It's I who live there now. I don't know how I got there. Perhaps in an ambulance, certainly a vehicle of some kind. I was helped. I'd never have got there alone. There's this man who comes every week. Perhaps I got here thanks to him. He says not. He gives me money and takes away the pages. So many pages, so much money.
      - Molloy (ch. 1) [Books (First Lines)]

Where now? Who now? When now? Unquestioning.
      - The Unnamable [Books (First Lines)]

Some are born mad. Some remain so.
      - Waiting for Godot [Insanity]
