message 59: by Themis-Athena (Lioness at Large) (last edited Jul 30, 2010 05:49AM) (new)

Themis-Athena (Lioness at Large) Sorry for butting in then. The curse of impatience and living in different time zones ... ;)


Themis-Athena (Lioness at Large) Updated the index -- there have been a couple of great additions lately; the list is looking better and better!

There are still some unexpected absentees ... e.g., Aeschylus's "Agamemnon," Isabel Allende's "House of the Spirits," something by Martin Amis ("Money?" "London Fields?" "Night Train?"), something besides "Understanding Physics" by Isaac Asimov ("I, Robot?"), or something besides "The Handmaid's Tale" by Margaret Atwood ("Alias Grace?" "The Blind Assassin?" "Oryx and Crake?"), to mention just a few of the possible "A"s.

Any takers? Maybe this would be a moment to revisit our own contributions, and check whether someone else has added some of the same books in the interim (in the spirit that for this particular list, it's really enough for ONE person to have added the book)? Just a thought of course ...


Susanna - Censored by GoodReads Added:

Atwood, Margaret: The Year of the Flood


Themis-Athena (Lioness at Large) Susanna wrote: "Added:

Atwood, Margaret: The Year of the Flood"


Thanks! I see someone also added Julius Caesar's "Conquest of Gaul" -- and I did the honors for Aeschylus's "Oresteia" and Martin Amis's "Money."

Chris Also, how can we go into space without bringing along all those great Twilight-Zone-inspiring stories about how horribly wrong things will go when we meet aliens? (Yes, this idea did come to me while I jokingly checked to see if there was really a book called "To Serve Man.")
So I've also added:

We're looking better and better. There's still some stuff missing (especially in the "Greek/Roman classics" and "Asian/African/Latin American" department) -- but all in all, I VERY much hope this space ship never crash-lands nor gets blown up!!

Susanna - Censored by GoodReads The theatrical society should be interesting:

Aeschylus
Jean Anouilh
The Barber of Seville
Waiting for Godot
A Man for All Seasons
Bertolt Brecht
Georg Buchner
Noel Coward
Christopher Durang
Friedrich Durrenmatt
Wit
The Lion in Winter
You Can't Take It With You
The Deputy
Eugene Ionesco
Ben Jonson
Arsenic and Old Lace
Gotthold Lessing
Christopher Marlowe
Spoon River Anthology

An Inspector Calls
Phedre
Art
Friedrich von Schiller
Amadeus
William Shakespeare
George Bernard Shaw
Neil Simon
Sophocles

Lots of modern drama; a bit heavier on tragedy than comedy, I think.

Themis-Athena (Lioness at Large) Yes -- any thespian talent among the travelers, I wonder?

(There is also an anthology of Greek drama in the "multiple authors" section, btw.)

Where are Chekhov, Goethe and Ibsen, though? Hmmm ...

Hey, I've got a box of old costumes... We could put on a show! ;-)


Themis-Athena (Lioness at Large) I'm in. Anyone else?


Susanna - Censored by GoodReads Yeah, the Scandinavians and Chekov have gone walkabout, apparently.

And not a moment too soon! ;-)

Not my favorites, can you tell?

Cyrano, anyone?


Themis-Athena (Lioness at Large) Any time ... but you'll have to add him first! :)


message 94: by [deleted user] (new)

Already added!


Themis-Athena (Lioness at Large) Good -- so I see!


message 96: by Jan (new)

Jan I added:

4 books by Zoe Archer: Stranger / Rebel / Warrior / Scoundrel

Meljean Brook: The Iron Duke


Themis-Athena (Lioness at Large) Many thanks. Updated accordingly!

Julie S. Cool concept. I'd like to read from this library.


Themis-Athena (Lioness at Large) Yes, isn't this an amazing list? And I am sure it could do with a few books that you'd have to add ...


message 100: by [deleted user] (new)

That alphabetized list sure helped when I wanted to add another book and didn't have to go down the entire list to see if it was already there.
