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.

Re: Book Club
Fun fact: мир can mean either "peace" or "world", so maybe the novel is really supposed to be called "War and the World."fingersplints wrote:I vote Война и мирthellama73 wrote:This is the list I think you should use.

Re: Book Club
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?S~V~S wrote:This is the Amazon 100 Books list: http://www.businessinsider.com/amazons- ... ead-2014-2
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.
I weep for the future.

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.
