[Aakash]

A day to go and from suggestion it seems like crime & Punishment...
Poll for BOTM will be featured soon (tomorrow). :)

[Aakash]

https://www.goodreads.com/poll/show/1...

You can now VOTE FOR THE BOOK :)

[min11]

Vote for Borges people. Not a writer that is as well known as someone like Dostoevsky, so most people probably haven't read his work. A shame, because Borges is no less talented than any writer Europe has ever produced. As good a book of short stories as any compiled in the 20th century, or any century for that matter. The work of a genius.

Ok hoe. I had already started Dostoevsky tho :(

[Daniyal]

This is going to be fun. Why I Write by George Orwell and Roald Dahl's Skin and Other Stories seem pretty interesting to me. :)

The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck

I would recommend reading "The Way of Kings" by "Brandon Sanderson". It's epic and has some of the best world-building ever. It's going to be the next best thing in the Fantasy Genre.

The Library of Babel - Jorge Luis Borges (39 pages in hardcover lol).

It's a short story. What do you expect? Much better to read ficciones.

As for the topic, Siddhartha by Herman Hesse. 109 pages.

At least everyone can finish Library of Babel in a month. And also be able to discuss it, as it's just one story. But whatever goes.

[Faheem]

I am for reading both, start off with the library of Babel, finish it by lets say 10th or 12th of this month and then move on to reading the Siddhartha while we discuss the Babel. what say you guys ?

150 pages per month is easily manageable.

Start with the shorter one. We'll finish one book and that'll set the momentum for the next, longer, one. Library of Babel comes first.

[Aakash]

Okay so let's start it today. :)

[Faheem]

great ! I'll join in from tommorrow. I've one question though, I searched the book and found this.

https://libraryofbabel.info/Borges/li...

Is this all of it or this is not the full version or something. ???

[Eesha]

i always follow this thread but somehow always end up not reading the selected book.... this time around though, i am IN too.... which is the second story apart from the library of babel?
