Renata’s comments from the EVERYONE Has Read This but Me - The Catch-Up Book Club group.

I nominate The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers, (359 pages)

I'll second Dark Matter.

I nominate Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. (275 pages)

I nominate Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup by John Carreyrou (339 pages)
(FYI: Trial will begin in October)

Obviously written in the 70's, when computers were huge, massive data banks. Marvin, the depressed robot was my favorite character and I pictured Zaphod as a two-headed Donald Trump.

American Gods is on the blocked list, re-read in the last year.

I'll second Dune.

I second The Invisible Man.

I second Jane Eyre and Dark Matter.

Hi Moderators: Just a quick note to alert you to several books in the bookshelf that are incorrectly classified as "classics". They are Love in the Time of Cholera, Silent Patient and Circe.
Thanks for all your efforts! Hope this helps.

I nominate Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh (351 pages)

I second Flowers for Algernon.

I nominate The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath (294 pages)

I nominate My Dark Vanessa by Kate Elizabeth Russell (384 pages)

The count for The Stand is actually 8 (in messages 13, 16, 20, 59, 61, 62, 66, and 75).

Yes, tracking is most helpul to summarize all the suggestions and make it easier to select our favorites.

I'll second Pillars of the Earth.
No tracking this month??

I second The Goldfinch (771 pages).

Dorian Gray was read several months ago, so could be nominated in the catch-up section instead.
