This seems like another existential novel to me. I saw the relationships Bowles described as secondary to another premise: the inherent loneliness, alienation...
I just finished the book. I know I am ahead but I also am in four other clubs and all reading. I need to keep one step ahead of myself. LOL. I really think he ...
I just started this book and am enthralled with his word choices (some of which I've had to look up in the dictionary). I have never seen the movie, so I'm not...
I am really enjoying this one, too. Its been slow going because I have had other books to read <br>and wanted to read (like Terry) even after I had started ...
Just so everyone knows I did like the book. I just thought he needn't have been so long winded about it. <br><br>I will say that when you get to her "choice"...
I'm kind of behind on my reading...last night I read the section where Stingo goes to Sophie's room with drinks beer with Nathan before going to the beach. My...
I finally finished Sophie's Choice and am in shock over 'her choice'. Finally after 500 pages it comes together why she is so tormented. I think the idea that...
Hi! I just joined the club a few days ago, and am trying to catch up. I have read some of the books on the list, so may catch up eventually.<br>I had not read...
Although your small town library doesn't have this book, it is very likely that they're attached to an interlibrary system where they can borrow books from...
Thanks for the suggestion... I know our library provides this service, but it took me 5 minutes to get her to understand that it wasn't The Gingerbread Man ...
As you can see from the calendar we are reading Sophie's Choice right now and while I found it somewhat tedious at times (Styron went on and on with stories...
No matter what book you're reading on the list, feel free to discuss it at any time. I didn't want you to think you can only discuss the book we're currently...
Since I finished Sophie's Choice early, I picked up and read #59, Zuleika Dobson, by Max Beerbohm and really enjoyed it. It's a satire on "modern love" set in ...
I think this is a book that I will not soon forget. Her "choice" was something no one should ever have to make. All I can say is that she was a stronger woman...
did she really had a "choice"? it is like her fate in the end, she did not have a choice. like the sun also rises, it is a book about a generation lost after...
I rented the 1986 movie version of _A Room with a View_ with Helen Bonham Carter and Daniel Dey Lewis...since I had read the book recently I thought I'd like ...
I also rented Sophie's Choice, which I had never seen before...I was a little surprised to see "The Biscuit" from Ally McBeal as Stingo and Kevin Kline as ...
I bought _Under The Net_ by Iris Murdoch yesterday and from the little bit I've read, it looks like a fun and interesting read. If anyone would like to help by...
I just now ordered a copy of Wide Sargasso Sea, and am looking forward to reading it. I have a question that maybe someone could help me with. I have not read...
Here's a review of Wide Sargasso Sea, which is the author's attempt to fill in the gaps she found in Jane Eyre. I thought it might get you all excited about...
I loved the book. I read it out of turn because I could get it faster than Under the Net. I am now reading that one. As far as reading Jane Eyre first, I don't...
Thanks for the info Terry. I am glad to hear that the book stands alone, as I am already reading 3 books right now, and didn't want to have to read another one...
I finally finished Under the Net, last night. I didn't really see it as a comedy. The characters seemed pretty down-trodden to me. There was more problems then...
I've been here for a little bit but I'm confused. Are we actually having chats on these books to discuse them? I don't usually check the actuall group becouse...
There are no scheduled chats but any member can go in to the club chat room. If you would like post that you will be in chat at a certain time and see who ...
I can't really see why THE MAGUS or anything else by John Fowles should be considered one of the l00 greatest of the century. I can name at least 100 that I...
Things have been so crazy here I just got the book today. I hope to catch up soon. How do the rest of you like The Magus? Just from the synopsis it seems...
hi I just joined this group and I'd love to chat about the books as we go along.. I just went ahead and started Ironweed tho because I wasn't sure I'd have...
