One of my favorites. I am considering rereading it this year.

[Diane]

Started Père Goriot by Honoré de Balzac and The Kindly Ones by Jonathan Littell.

You are in for a handful with The Kindly Ones. But, I will say this: I think it is deeply flawed, but it is also very powerful. Especially the first chapter.

The title story is an absolute masterpiece

[George P.]

I don't think I mentioned yet that I'm reading The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay now- there's a "buddy read" starting officially Oct 1st. Anyone is welcome to join. Novel is set in New York City just before WW2.It was in the Boxall list only in the 2008 edition, Pulitzer Prize winner. It seems that Boxall list books are very rarely Pulitzer winners.

[Karina]

[Angelique]

Schlinder’s List (sometimes listed as Schlinder’s Ark) by Thomas Keneally.

An inspiring book! Thanks for posting about it also being known as Schindler's Ark -- I read Schindler's List when the movie came out, but did not realize that it was the same book. So one more book added to my completed list!

[Bryan--The Bee’s Knees]

Regeneration by Pat Barker

[George P.]

Bartleby & Co. by Enrique Vila-Matas of Spain, published in 2000 and added to the 2012 Boxall edition. The "Bartleby" title is inspired by a 150-year old story by Herman Melville, "Bartleby the Scrivener".

[Diane]

Started The Burning Plain and Other Stories by Juan Rulfo.

[Yrinsyde]

Started The Sea The Sea by Iris Murdoch. I thought it seemed a little old-fashioned at first but I'm really enjoying it. Back to the list after months without.

I really like Iris Murdoch. It's funny I've never been able to articulate why.

[George P.]

I liked The Sea The Sea very much. The story is fairly simple but her writing style really drew me in.

The books I've read, I've been amazed at how she doesn't even really need a story her writing is THAT good.
