Cyrus's comments from the Best Books group.

I'm on your side for Gorges's. And I'd like to add this list:
Slaughterhouse-Five (Vonnegut)
The Death of Artemio Cruz (Fuentes)
Adieu, Gary Cooper (Gary)
From Among the Dead and Le roman policier (Boileau-Narcejac)
Greek Passion and Report to Greco (Kazantzakis)
Las armas secretas (Cortázar)
Green Pope (Asturias)
The Catcher in the Rye (Salinger)
If on a Winter's Night a Traveller (Calvino)
The Sound and the Fury (Faulkner)
Mysteries (Hamsun)
The Magic Mountain (Mann)
The Autumn of the Patriarch (Marquez)
I Am the Cheese (Cormier)
The Gambler and The idiot(Dostoyevsky)
The Feast of the Goat (Llosa)
and all Poe and Chekhov's short stories and Castaneda's

Reviewing the group moderator’s description, for me, is an indication of talking about, code and code, “Best” books, not just "Good" ones. Those you should read them, even though you are not to read anything else for the rest of your life!
Some of these Best books have lived with me all entire my life, and frankly, even when I was reading them for the first time, sometimes, I put them aside in order to think, digest, and criticize (Maryam and I have different opinions on this subject)
I’d like to invite you all to discuss about your favorites. Iman’s comment is a good idea to get “the field of study” as a start point.
I’d be more than happy to have discussions in some of my beloved areas: Children literature, novels (especially detective-), short stories, and poetry.
I’d like invite the moderator as well, to explain a bit more about her initial idea!
