The Golden Ass by Lucius Apuleius
As Apuleius puts it himself in his introduction: “If you are not put off by the Egyptian story-telling convention that allows humans to be changed into animals and, after various adventures, restored to their proper shapes, you should be amused by this queer novel… now read on and enjoy yourself!”

[James]

What did you think of Tarzan and Burroughs?

[Maddy]

The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway. I didn't understand the Hemingway hype before reading this, but it was incredible.

[S.L.]

I loved Tarzan. It took me back to when I used to watch the series on Saturday mornings. Burroughs knows how to keep a story moving. I didn’t realize that this was the first book in a long series.

[Diane]

Finished:

The Counterfeiters by André Gide

Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

[Angie]

Paulo Coelho Veronika Decides to Die: awful.
I don't know why I expected it to be better than "The Alchemist" (another completely overrated Coelho book, in my opinion) -
it wasn't. Just pages and pages of pseudo-esoteric palaver and an insult to all those who suffer from mental illness.

[Diane]

The Adventures of Roderick Random by Tobias Smollett.

[Bob]

Hyperion; or, The Hermit in Greece by Friedrich Hölderlin

[Mia]

The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck. This one was amazing.

[Alice]

Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit by Jeanette Winterson

[Joy D]

Austerlitz by W.G. Sebald - 4 stars - My Review

[Radiant]

I finished Uncle Tom's Cabin last week and didn't realize it was on the list until I read other reviews.

[Radiant]

I took a road trip and started and finished Strange Case of Dr. Jekyl & Mr. Hyde. I liked that my 16 year old son selected the book and was interested in it. :-)

I thought it was amazing too. I'm glad I read it.

[Peter]

Candide by Voltaire
Although I rather enjoyed the writing, in particular the humour in the later chapters, I didn't get as much out of it as I perhaps should have and feel that it's relevance has diminished with time.
