Re: Book Club

I was really bummed when the main character died. What a gyp.


Oh wait, was I not supposed to give that away?

Re: Book Club

I'm not in the book club, but I nominate Three Men in a Boat (to say nothing of the dog.) It's short, charming, and one of the funniest books I've ever read.

I vote Война и мир
Fun fact: мир can mean either "peace" or "world", so maybe the novel is really supposed to be called "War and the World."

I have also done the Time list, which is not dissimilar. Of these 100, I have read 58. That surprised me, I would have thought it was more. I think when I did the Time list it was 60 or so.

How many of these have you read? Which ones have you not read that you might want to read? I think if we look at lists like these, we can come to a consensus on something we might all, as a group, enjoy.
No Herman Melville, no Nathaniel Hawthorne, no Edgar Allen Poe? No Tolstoy, Dostoevsky or James Joyce? No Chaucer or Milton or Shakespeare? No Graham Greene, no P.G Wodehouse, no Jules Verne or H.G. Wells? But Anthony Bourdain, Hunger Games, and Diary of a Wimpy Kid make the list?

I weep for the future.

Watership Down is a great book, and The Green Mile is one of a handful of King efforts I enjoy.

Totally agree. I also don't get why people love it s much. I hated it. I was 40 pages from the end and threw it across the room and said no more. I hated every single person in that novel.
I hated it too. One of the worst books I had to read in college.

Re: Book Club

I have a suggestion for book club titles. There's this author called Logan Albright who has written a few novels that might work well.
