Incommunicado's comments (member since Feb 18, 2008)

Incommunicado's comments from the 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die group.

I just finished The Sea by John Banville. It was one that I was looking forward to reading, but it was a huge disappointment for me. Being a widower myself, I was hoping to identify with the main character but that never happened. I guess it was the stream of consciousness writing style that I really didn't enjoy. Oh well, on to Foucault's Pendulum.

Foucault's Pendulum by Umberto Eco is next for me. It's been on my list/shelf forever, long before I picked up 1001...

I just joined this group, great comments. I just finished Saturday, by Ian McEwan. I found it an easier read than Atonement. Before that, I finished Dashiell Hammett's Red Harvest and wondered why it was on the list. I just didn't find anything special about it. I didn't by the Continental Op's motivations and couldn't give a rat's butt about any of the characters. Next for me is Foucalt's Pendulum after I wade through Novel Without End. Oops, I mean World Without End.
