I second The Snow Child.
Luffy wrote: "I nominate The Winds of War 896 pages." Luffy, your second book suggestion was published in 1971, so doesn't meet our "classic" criteria of 1969 and before. Sorry about that. Is there another book you would like to suggest?
Luffy wrote: "I nominate The Caine Mutiny."Luffy, your book suggestion doesn't quite meet our "well-read" criteria of 50k ratings yet. Is there another book you would like to nominate instead?
I nominate The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood, 314 pages. (Recently banned in some US states).I also second Life of Pi.
