No it isn‘t.

I feel like that's one you can re-read every 10 years because it's more about the ideas and mood than the story.

[Zonnah]

I started The Lusiads by Luís de Camões.

[Tyler]

Started Seize the Day by Saul Bellow this week. Enjoying it so far.

[Meg]

Just started 'The Last of the Mohicans' by James Fenimore Cooper. My first list book in a while as I've been distracted with studying and work. I've heard mixed things about it.

[Ana MG]

I just started “the mysteries of Udolpho” by Ann Radcliffe and I can’t stop reading it!

[Jaide]

I am new to the group, but 2 yrs ago decided to read/reread the classics along with my regular reading. Glad I found this group. I always seem to be behind the times...but that’s okay.

I finally am starting ‘Pride and Prejudice’ by Jane Austen. I am probably the only person (female, at least) that has never read her work. I have also started ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ by Truman Capote, and ‘A Prayer for Owen Meany’ by John Irving.

Y’all have a really great group here!

[Diane]

Starting The Museum of Unconditional Surrender by Dubravka Ugrešić.

[Mia]

I started to listen Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe so I can finish Foe by J.M. Coetzee, my last list book from him.

[George P.]

I have that scheduled for about 6 months from now. I found out one of the public libraries here has a copy, so will be interested to hear your opinion of it.

It is definitely unique, but in a good way. It is purposely fragmented to reflect the fragmented nature of people in exile. There is no plot, however, and it is not told in a linear format.

[Diane]

Started Austerlitz by W.G. Sebald and Professor Martens' Departure by Jaan Kross.

[Jaide]

‘A Prayer for Owen Meany’ by John Irving and ‘Veronika Decides to Die’ by Paolo Coelho.

Just started Dead Babies by Martin Amis and I am really enjoying it so far!

I've just started Steppenwolf as well

[Diane]

If This Is a Man by Primo Levi (aka Survival in Auschwitz)

[George P.]

Luís wrote: "Brave New World"

I'm rather surprised you've read over a thousand books and haven't read Brave New World yet. Or maybe you're reading it again. I realize a lot of the books you read probably weren't written in English.

Are there any books in the 1001 list which were written in Portuguese other than those by Saramago? And have you read all five of those?

[Sarah]

[Tim]

I just downloaded from a public library In the Heart of the Country by Coetzee, one of his list books that wasn't dropped from the list in 2008. I plan to start it tomorrow. It's our group read for April-May.
