Which LIST book did you just finish? Showing 8,701-8,750 of 10,243

[Vikki]

Just finished The Nose by Nikolai Gogol. Short book if you want to add another book to your list. This makes #105 for me.

[George P.]

Swann's Way by Marcel Proust, the first part of Remembrance Of Things Past. Not a writing style that I appreciate.

[James]

Ulysses by James Joyce Third time read and enjoyed it more than ever

[Diane]

Time of Silence by Luis Martín-Santos.

[Mia]

The Nine Tailors by Dorothy L. Sayers.

[Sean]

I just finished Doctor Faustus by Thomas Mann. Having read two other Mann novels and being in the middle of a third, I must say this is the only one I struggled to get through. I totally understand its place on the list. But it was dense! And full of stuff I just had to sludge through.

James wrote: "Ulysses by James Joyce Third time read and enjoyed it more than ever"I'm on my second time through now. Currently wandering the streets of Dublin with Bloom somewhere around 10:00 a.m.

[James]

I’ve forgotten the times. Are you before or after Dignam’s funeral?

[Ronnie]

Before the funeral. He has just left the post office and encountered McCoy who ask him to shove his name in as a funeral attendee.

[Pamela]

Saturday Night And Sunday Morning by Alan Sillitoe.

[George P.]

Alberta and Jacob by Cora Sandel. It's like Catcher in the Rye meets Ingmar Bergman in 1924 at the Norwegian Arctic Circle.

[Ellinor]

Intimacy by Hanif Kureishi. At least it was short.

[Pamela]

Coming Up for Air by George Orwell

[Nocturnalux]

Jazz by Toni Morrison

[Karen]

Play It as It Lays by Joan Didion

[Karen]

I did not like that one, though I did like his later book, Gabriel's Gift.

[Pamela]

The Vicar of Wakefield by Oliver Goldsmith

[Joy D]

Truly a gem:
Family Matters by Rohinton Mistry - 5* - My Review

[Joy D]

Too depressing for me:
Requiem for a Dream by Hubert Selby Jr. -2* - My Review

[Ellinor]

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes by Anita Loos. Very amusing, I laughed so much during the part set in Paris.

The Club Dumas (aka The Dumas Club) by Arturo Pérez-Reverte

I really enjoyed this book; it contains references to so many other Boxall authors and books. Plus, it was rather a thrilling, hard-to-put-down book.

Utopia can be rather boring, especially with no books!!

[Maddy]

The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy. Gorgeous, but upsetting.

[George P.]

If This is a Man, aka in the US as "Survival in Auschwitz". That's the 3rd of the three Primo Levi books inthe 1001 list for me. Thanks to determination, resourcefulness, help and luck, he survived, "so that I could tell what happened there".
