Which LIST book did you just finish? Showing 51-100 of 10,317

[Casey]

I just finished Moby-Dick; or, The Whale. It took a long time to get through, but it was worth it!

The Big Money

This is the third in the USA Trilogy on the 1001 List."

what did you think? I read the first one which is 1929 or something like that, I dont even remember what it was about or how good it was.

[Diane]

Just finished The Black Dahlia by James Ellroy. Dark, sleazy, and often offensive. Despite that, I was suprised that I enjoyed it as much as I did.

[Ellinor]

I finished I'm Not Scared. I liked it overall except for the ending but I'm not sure why it is on the list.
I also finished The Wonderful O. I enjoyed it more than the other James Thurber book on the list, The 13 Clocks, but I'm also not sure why it is a list book. Like The 13 Clocks it is kind of a fairy tale so it would make more sense on the children's books list.

Have you read The Lady in White? I thought it was unbelievable! I literally couldn't put it down- I'm looking forward to reading the Moonstone too
"

Yep, I also loved The Lady in White! Super happy with both these Collins titles.

[Stephanie "Jedigal"]

Finished George Orwell's Coming Up For Air. Now, in my 40's, I could really relate. I strongly believe I would NOT have enjoyed much in my previous decades.

[Diane]

Finished The Forbidden Kingdom by J. Slauerhoff. Odd book.

[Yrinsyde]

I recently finished Portnoy's Complaint. Care to read someone's personal rant about his sex life anyone?

[John]

I've just finished Of Mice and Men. Poor, poor Lennie!

[Diane]

Finished Max Havelaar: Or the Coffee Auctions of the Dutch Trading Company by Multatuli. Poorly translated into English. Perhaps it is better in Dutch.

[Luke]

Finished Beloved by Toni Morrison; review here.

Hah I remember that stupid book, pretty much all about sex and masturbation, how is that a timeless piece? Over rated!!!! I havent read another Roth since then.

[Ellinor]

I just finished The Candle in the Wind, the final book of The Once and Future King and also the best one.

[Joana Marta]

Like Water for Chocolate.. It was awesome, a lot of flavors and smells through the whole book! =)

[Stephanie "Jedigal"]

The Confederacy of Dunces.

[Nicole]

In Cold Blood As a friend of mine recently stated, I wish I'd had Capote's gift of run-on sentences in grad school for all those research papers.

[Bucket]

The Story of Lucy Gault by William Trevor. SO sad, and SO good. As a short story writer, Trevor knows how to make a sentence pack a punch, even in novel form.

[Yrinsyde]

Yes! At first I was going eeuurrggh. This is the second Roth book I've read and my opinion of his work (awful pretentious stuff) hasn't changed.

[John]

I've just finished The Grapes of Wrath

[Debbie]

Of Mice and Men - 1939 - in on TCM - Turner Classic Movies tonight at 8:00 PM if anyone is interested

[Steve]

Finished Money by Amis, good read.

[[deleted user]]

Finished One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Not the same as the movie, but wonderful just the same. :)

[Steve]

Finished Red Harvest by Hammett, pulp detective story at its finest!

[Karina]

Finally finished The Last of the Mohicans. So painful. But I finished.

[Colleen]

Just finished Grapes Of Wrath. Oh my! I think I have a new favourite :)

[Sandy from Alaska]

Just finished Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell. I gave it 3 stars, but I didn't really enjoy reading the book. I did like the idea of the book of each chapter relating to a character in the previous chapter.

[James]

Veronika Decides To Die. Ugh! What is this book doing on the list?

[Laura]

Colleen wrote: "Just finished Grapes Of Wrath. Oh my! I think I have a new favourite :)"

Yeah Grapes of Wrath is mindblowing! I had dreams/nightmares about it after I read it

[Stephanie "Jedigal"]

For Whom The Bell Tolls.
wow.

[Miranda]

Just finished Middlesex. Meh.

[Stephanie "Jedigal"]

Karina wrote: "Finally finished The Last of the Mohicans. So painful. But I finished."

Just curious, why painful? I also found it so, just untenably long and tedious. Might have been great at 1/3 of its length.

[Genia]

Finished Oliver Twist (horrible, antisemitic, book); Under the Volcano *extremely well-written, but the plot is a little incomprehensible); Suite Française (which was pretty good) and The Sorrows of Young Werther (which was fun, but towards the end frightfully sentimental).

[Tasha]

I just finished The Satanic Verses,and I am surprised at how much I liked it.

[Ellinor]

Last night I finished There but for the by Ali Smith. I was very sceptical about it in the beginning because I didn't like her other list book too much but this one turned out pretty good.

[Colleen]

Finished Portnoy's Complaint.

[Stephanie "Jedigal"]

Money: A Suicide Note.
** It was okay. After this and London Fields, I think Amis is just not my cup of tea. But I'll still try the other list books. Feeling neutral, not negative, towards the author so far.

[Sarah]

I feel the same way about Amis. I'm giving him just one more chance after London Fields before I strike him off. Thinking I'll go with Time's Arrow.

Is his fathers stories any better? Different? I will have to try them out, although I kind of liked Money.

[Dee]

Finished Mary Barton last night. What a great story, even if a touch sentimental in places. Can't wait to read her other books.

[Jonpaul]

The Marriage Plot, the last book I needed to read from the additions to the 2012 list.

[Colleen]

Just finished The Great Gatsby.

[Ed]

Just finished Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451... I'm not a science fiction fan...although I appreciate the book's message about censorship and the dumbing down of society.

[Joana Marta]

Anna Karenina.. finally! so good! =)

[Joel]

love audiobooks - finished both Elegance of the Hedgehog & Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr Hyde. I am just about to pick up All Along The Western Front & Remains of the Day

[Stephanie "Jedigal"]

D.H. Lawrence, The Fox

[Frank]

Finished Fateless by Imre Kertesz. Powerful novel of the holocaust.

[Miranda]

I just finished CANDIDE by Voltaire yesterday. Fun, quick read. A lot more biting satire than I'd been expecting. Only 1115 to go (complete lists). App says I'll be done in 12 years. We'll see.

[Rachel (Sfogs)]

Just finished The Vicar of Wakefield.
They traveled through all the misfortune to find the greatest happiness.
A true tale, and very enjoyable. :-)

[Rachel (Sfogs)]

The Old Man and the Sea, arrived in the mail this morning from another bookcrosser.
and finished reading it the same morning ;-)

[Ellinor]

Finished A Gate at the Stairs, the first List book I rated only one star and hopefully also the last one.
