I finally finished THOM yesterday, so needless to say I will not be reading Main Street. I read Heart of Darkness while in college so hopefully I can remember...
I thought this was a picture of despair. It was beautifully written in many places, but I did not find it that involving. What did anyone else who has read it...
Hello, I'm new to the group, so I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm Rebecca, I live in southeast Michigan, and I joined the group because of the great reading...
At the outset I need to confess that I did not finish the book. That said, I really didn't like it. It just seemed more of the poor me put upon by society's...
A member from another group that I belong to recommended this blog site that is strictly for books and readers. It is called Good Reads, and like it alot. It...
I finished it, never having read it in school (don't know why they didn't assign it) anyway, it is still a bit frightening. There are so many connections to...
Hi, I'm new to this group, but not to Yahoo. As an ex-English major who is a programmer, I try to keep up with reading whenever I can. I realize you 're...
I Claudius was wonderful. I loved it. The Author really got inside the mind of Claudius. I enjoyed the first person way of writing. It was also a quick read. I...
from a trip to the library and brought home I Claudius which I will put in the line up. There is one book ahead of it and SEVERAL behind it. I will let you...
Okay, I read Virginia Wolf's To the Lighthouse and was struck by how ruled by convention the characters were. One must go to the lighthouse and bring certain...
I was a little put off by it especially because last years book for 3 counties (a local thing here in WNY) was a book that told the same story but from the...
I can't believe I am the only one who has an opinion about this month's selection. Hope to hear from some others so we can get a dialogue going. Terry S....
Okay, everyone, I finished Invisible Man and I found it to be similar to Native Son but not as violent. I can truly understand though how being on the margins...
Well, I finished with it and was not very impressed other than it brought home to me that we have come a long way but still have far to go. It reminded me of a...
I was not to thrilled with this book only because it is written in the stream of consciousness style and I have never been fond of that genre. However the...
Friday at my local library. I plan on starting it next week as I have a couple other books to finish first. I am chomping at the bit because my to be read...
Thanks for your comment. I finished the book and it was certainly a good read. Talk about class consciousness. I see we have come a long way but boy do we...
I thought it was a good book, but I don't think I would have put it as high
on the list as it is. Some of it seemed to digress too much from the main...
I finished Appointment in Samarra and I enjoyed it. It reminded me of The
Great Gatsby, which is one of my favorite books. It has a similar theme --
how the...
and I will just say that I really enjoyed the forward and the reasons for it being chosen a modern library selection. I will save the rest of my comments for...
There seems to be enough interest in reviving the group by reading Appointment in Samarra in November. I propose that we post early thoughts on the start of...
I got my copy Saturday from the library. I hope to start it shortly but have 3 books ahead of it. They are quick reads so I should be okay to discuss it by...
I've been having fun rehashing my favorite authors from the list and reading their biographies. I've read James Farrell (Studs Lonigan trilogy) and Lawrence...
Controversy! This is a great start to discussion -- it will be interesting
to see where group members end up in their assessment. I just got my copy,
and will...
