Let's see. Rebekah Send a noteboard - 26/09/2009 09:58:12 PM
Gao Xingjian

Yup. Great.

Günter Grass

Yes. Odd.

Seamus Heaney

One years ago.

Toni Morrison

Ugh.

William Golding

Lord of the Flies was actually very good.

Gabriel García Márquez

I've read Love in the Time of Cholera and something else (can't remember right now) and also most of 100 Years of Solitude.

Pablo Neruda

A few of his poems (in Spanish and translation). I really liked them.

Alexandr Solzhenitsyn

Marvellous.

Samuel Beckett

Do not like.

John Steinbeck

Yuck.

Albert Camus

I've got The Outsider on my list this year.

Ernest Hemingway

I like For Whom The Bell Tolls, didn't like the others. Think he is overrated.

Winston Churchill

Am scared of reading him in case he's not as witty and marvellous as people make him out to be.

William Faulkner

Have read The Sound and the Fury. Not my cup of tea.

T.S. Eliot

Only read the Cats poems. Not incredibly impressed.

Hermann Hesse

I love Hesse. Siddarthe and Steppenwolf are great.

George Bernard Shaw

Lovely.

Rudyard Kipling

I loved Kim.


Oh, yeah, and Orhan Pamuk is on my list this year too.
