Thanks for a very interesting comment on the book. I just finished it, and I liked it very much, although it was a bit preachy at times. I have a few other ...
Is anyone reading this. I read it, and I must admit I did not like it at all. Could someone tell me what is so good about it. I will say one thing for it--I...
I have not read it yet. The fact that it is short makes me want to try. I have left so many unread because I have not found them interesting. I know a movie...
I haven't seen that movie either, but I have seen the movie of Howard's End. (Anthony Hopkins as Henry Wilcox, Emma Thompson as Margaret) I thought that movie...
Certainly the imprisonment was a great blow to Henry Wilcox and it changed his attitudes to several things. I think though that he did not like Howard's End ...
Hello, All. My name is Rose, I'm 57, I live in rural upstate New York. I'm in a reading mood, so I thought I'd join a reading group or two (or three!). I'm...
Hi, I just joined this group. I am a former English Lit major,but that was ages ago and I haven't done much reading since then except non fiction. I am looking...
Sorry I pushed the send buttom before I had finished the message. I could not find the list of 100 Greatest books, it was not on the Random House site. I'd...
Cher and Rose, Welcome to the group. I hope you can join us for a book of the month soon. Cher, If you go to the home page and click on "Files" on the left...
Thanks Henry, I already have my book. But I don't see any messages or is that because it's the end of the month? I also joined this classic book club and I...
The sad truth is, Jett, that we have not been a very active group lately. I have had to skip this month's read. Is anyone reading All the King's Men? Any ...
Yes, I read _All the King's Men_ and enjoyed it. It has the feel of a 19th century novel but with an appropriate edginess. You can't help comparing Long to...
Well I'm starting this month's book, is it June> I never know the date. More fun to discuss things, wonder why the messages dropped off so much, I guess this ...
After finishing all 118 books over 6 years, I'm done! Why 118 books? USA trilogy adds 2 books Alexandria Quartet adds 3 Studs Lonigan adds 2 Dance to the...
I think some of it is the books. I'm waiting for maybe The Golden Bowl by James and definitely The Good Soldier by Ford. The latter is one of my favorites. ...
I am reading the May and June selections right now. For those who have already read these books, why not comment on them for us newcomers to the list?...
oh i would love the chance to buy 100 books;) haha. i am slowly but surely trying to get all the classics... overall i think i have at least 150 books in my...
I have to admit that Faulkner has never been a favorite of mine in college but I am willing to give him a second look. I love the idea of reading all these...
I only have the first book as i'm trying to catch up with last month's book. I don't think Faulkner will have sold so many books in 40 years at least. Amazing...
I have noticed that a number of yahoo reading groups take a break at this time of year. Also no one else has posted anything on A Handful of Dust, which I...
Has anyone else here read A Handful of Dust? I thought it was a great book. One odd thing, it has two endings. Waugh first used a short story he had written as...
Remember, group reads start on the first of the month. 34. A Handful Of Dust by Evelyn Waugh July-August 2005 33. Sister Carrie by Theodore Dreiser September...
Henry, The tyranny of setting up house after an interstate move will keep me from reading *AHOD*. So, I just lay hold of the next title on the list and jump in...
