This is a really good list. Has quite a few favorites of mine. Look forward to your bulletins from the front.
– By the way Swann’s War sounds a bit more action packed than Swann’s Way ; )
Thanks for the correction. Any suggestions?
I see that you need no further suggestions. You have a few that I would have suggested anyway. And many that I want to read also. I admire your discipline – I’m a very chaotic reader myself.
Pingback: No Longer at Ease by Chinua Achebe | 100 Books in 100 Weeks
Wow, what an impressive list! Some of these are personal favorites of mine and it’s always nice to know that someone else is going to give them a chance. Wuthering Heights is beautiful and brilliant, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is magical and eye-opening (for some reason, I didn’t expect it to be as funny as it was), and the Hunger Games is simply powerful and just…wow, so much more than I expected. Many books on this list are wonderfully thrilling reads, I hope you enjoy them!
The book never kept me too interested. I did like this book and the characters, but I find that there are other books I’d rather read.
Any chance you could fix the link for your review of “Dangling Man” by Bellow?
Thanks for letting me know…it’s fixed now.
