We have Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi, if you want to borrow that.

I have been planning to read that, too.

First I have to make sure I haven't read anything from Iran, though. Do we consider Gilgamesh Iran?

I don't.

Googling may provide titles, but rarely quality assessment that I can trust. I don't want to waste my time reading shit.

Of the list at the link below, I've heard very good things about Alex Haley's Roots and have been meaning to read it for ages. I'm going to make that mine.

Paul really enjoyed White Teeth.</quote

I've read White Teeth.

Waugh is tempting, though.

Pride? A feeling of accomplishment? Rebekah - 13/12/2010 11:01:55 PM 1417 Views
Seems worth it. ? - 16/12/2010 09:51:48 PM 1439 Views

I think it says "challenge" Camilla - 15/12/2010 02:04:34 AM 1464 Views
Competition with yourself, then. Darth_Katie - 15/12/2010 03:52:13 AM 1499 Views
I refuse to watch film versions of books if I can help it Larry - 14/12/2010 01:20:21 AM 1448 Views
I generally agree, but sometimes the movies are better than the books. *NM* ranagrande - 14/12/2010 01:27:44 AM 849 Views
Most of my favorite books are unfilmable. *NM* Larry - 14/12/2010 01:40:04 AM 835 Views
Just like Watchmen! *NM* Craig - 14/12/2010 02:46:14 AM 838 Views
Yup. Darth_Katie - 14/12/2010 04:06:14 AM 1468 Views
I never watched that. Cockatiel of Doom - 19/12/2010 01:12:19 AM 1548 Views
You are a lucky lady. Darth_Katie - 19/12/2010 03:53:30 AM 1604 Views

I'll name a dozen. ranagrande - 14/12/2010 10:32:04 AM 1516 Views
Not all of those are valid choices. Tom - 14/12/2010 03:32:55 PM 1535 Views
Also Big Fish. Craig - 14/12/2010 08:02:07 PM 1618 Views
I prefer the book version of that, by the way Larry - 14/12/2010 10:45:54 PM 1537 Views
Weird. *NM* Craig - 15/12/2010 05:47:21 AM 844 Views
Lots of poor movies there Larry - 14/12/2010 10:48:59 PM 1463 Views
Yeah, I don't know how any movie could be as bad as that book. *NM* BlackAdder - 15/12/2010 08:06:20 AM 1001 Views

Seems nice, I will try to do the half-dozen challange *NM* ursidae - 14/12/2010 07:32:20 PM 984 Views
This is a really good idea. I like the challenges. I wonder if I can be arsed to do one. Or more. *NM* M & M Maddy - 14/12/2010 08:23:42 PM 985 Views
Question: Can books count for multiple challenges? *NM* Great Lord of Chaos - 14/12/2010 09:34:28 PM 923 Views
Preferably not. But we can be tolerant if you're running out of time. Rebekah - 14/12/2010 09:49:26 PM 1424 Views
But the challenge-books can count towards the 50 and the book you'd been meaning to read. Legolas - 14/12/2010 10:17:12 PM 1446 Views
Re: But the challenge-books can count towards the 50 and the book you'd been meaning to read. Rebekah - 14/12/2010 10:22:06 PM 1475 Views
So... Kaldric - 15/12/2010 04:13:27 PM 1700 Views
A single book can count for many things... Jacob - 15/12/2010 04:17:59 PM 1572 Views
Oooh. This sounds great, count me in! Avendesora - 15/12/2010 12:38:39 AM 1872 Views

Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian? Larry - 15/12/2010 01:08:04 PM 1636 Views
I liked The Road and No Country For Old Men as well. Jessie - 22/12/2010 06:23:23 PM 1502 Views
Is The Road really a western, though? *NM* Legolas - 22/12/2010 10:30:44 PM 885 Views
true. Not so much, I just always pigeonhole McCarthy as a westernish writer. *NM* Jessie - 25/12/2010 02:20:54 AM 783 Views
Karl May? Legolas - 15/12/2010 07:27:03 PM 1580 Views
I'm sorry, but I keep reading "Karl Marx?" *NM* Tom - 18/12/2010 04:51:40 AM 733 Views
Yeah, they're rather different. *NM* Legolas - 18/12/2010 01:33:23 PM 809 Views

Re: <will watch interestedly as you play> Danae al'Thor - 16/12/2010 12:22:54 PM 1470 Views
I think you should try to do one challenge now issued by myself Larry - 16/12/2010 01:07:18 PM 1498 Views
Re: If I can afford it, then of course I'll read it. Danae al'Thor - 17/12/2010 12:35:02 PM 1539 Views

Dirty half dozen and genre challenges for me Stephen - 17/12/2010 12:14:00 PM 1489 Views

I'm going for the 120 book challenge. Jessie - 22/12/2010 06:18:25 PM 1502 Views
I think you missed a trick here. Michael - 30/12/2010 09:19:20 AM 1599 Views
I think that one is always understood. *NM* Camilla - 30/12/2010 09:36:38 AM 928 Views
I don't think it is. Michael - 30/12/2010 04:20:41 PM 1411 Views
