Oh, but... jh Send a noteboard - 09/10/2009 11:01:01 AM
If you can find it in the library...then you would read a used copy.


I wouldn't own it. Big difference. ;)

November Sci-Fi/Fantasy Book Club: submissions ended! ... New new edit on 18/10/2009 Rebekah - 08/10/2009 06:56:01 PM 1569 Views
Nabokov's The Original of Laura Tom - 08/10/2009 08:19:01 PM 1088 Views
I'd love that. Rebekah - 08/10/2009 08:25:39 PM 1108 Views
The real problem... Jacob - 08/10/2009 08:40:50 PM 998 Views
That's a good point too. Rebekah - 08/10/2009 08:45:30 PM 949 Views
Well, we could always discuss Nabokov in December. Tom - 08/10/2009 11:18:57 PM 913 Views
Done! Rebekah - 09/10/2009 03:00:30 PM 924 Views
Hmm...I'm still thinking about the name Tom - 09/10/2009 03:57:48 PM 1039 Views
I'd be up for reading Doctor Zhivago. Legolas - 08/10/2009 10:08:09 PM 938 Views
yeah, me too. only need to find it in a library near me. *NM* jh - 08/10/2009 10:09:32 PM 389 Views
Don't be cheap. Buy it. Tom - 08/10/2009 11:16:18 PM 946 Views
Well, I would, but I don't like online bookstores. jh - 09/10/2009 01:19:19 AM 987 Views
Well, but you just said you didn't know if you could find it in the library. Tom - 09/10/2009 02:07:54 AM 946 Views
Oh, but... jh - 09/10/2009 11:01:01 AM 905 Views
Also: I did not say any such thing. *NM* jh - 10/10/2009 12:49:06 PM 392 Views
The Gone-Away World, obviously Camilla - 08/10/2009 09:23:12 PM 883 Views
Obviously. Rebekah - 09/10/2009 03:00:47 PM 906 Views
I second these statements *NM* Stephen - 13/10/2009 09:37:28 PM 417 Views
This one *NM* ironclad - 19/10/2009 10:44:37 PM 397 Views
AS Byatt - Possession. Legolas - 08/10/2009 10:21:39 PM 943 Views
It is a book of wonder. Possibly not good for the masses. *NM* Rebekah - 09/10/2009 03:01:13 PM 494 Views
Perfect timing! Or, perhaps in December. Comet Sedai - 09/10/2009 09:35:00 PM 1072 Views
i loved that book!!! she is amazing. just wonderful writing... *NM* temeraire - 13/10/2009 08:44:59 PM 375 Views
How about a classic novel? Haggard - 08/10/2009 11:30:31 PM 1157 Views
You have a very strange definition of classics... *NM* jh - 09/10/2009 01:20:37 AM 416 Views
Replace "strange" with "erroneous" and I'll agree with you. Tom - 09/10/2009 02:09:27 AM 916 Views
Really? Haggard - 09/10/2009 03:08:53 AM 1387 Views
for classic science fiction, your list contained one I could support... jh - 09/10/2009 11:06:34 AM 943 Views
I'd be up for those. *NM* Haggard - 09/10/2009 05:34:19 PM 583 Views
You said "classic novel". Science fiction doesn't generally meet that standard. Tom - 09/10/2009 02:52:01 PM 1001 Views
I understand your point. However... Haggard - 09/10/2009 05:47:54 PM 1357 Views
This isn't really a SF/F Board Tom - 09/10/2009 09:35:06 PM 922 Views
I like your list. Rebekah - 09/10/2009 03:02:09 PM 904 Views
I think if you're gonna do Eco, picking another book to start with would be wiser... *NM* Legolas - 09/10/2009 03:28:50 PM 400 Views
Why? Rebekah - 09/10/2009 03:32:05 PM 858 Views
And what book would that be??? Tom - 09/10/2009 03:47:49 PM 942 Views
Foucault's Pendulum seems like the obvious one. Legolas - 09/10/2009 03:58:37 PM 1000 Views
Having both FP and NotR recently... RandAllThor - 09/10/2009 04:31:00 PM 858 Views
No way. Tom - 09/10/2009 04:56:39 PM 1055 Views
Oh well. I'll have to blame my faulty memory then. Legolas - 09/10/2009 10:11:55 PM 838 Views
Based on past experiences here and elsewhere, it'll be hard to choose the "right" book Larry - 09/10/2009 02:46:22 AM 1224 Views
That Hitchhiker book is as genuine as the "new" Winnie-the-Pooh book Tom - 09/10/2009 02:54:23 PM 964 Views
Perhaps, but it's worth remembering that... RandAllThor - 09/10/2009 03:45:53 PM 872 Views
Adams killed Arthur Dent for a reason Tom - 09/10/2009 05:02:23 PM 985 Views
The movie was not faithful to the books in any meaningful way. *NM* RandAllThor - 09/10/2009 08:58:01 PM 383 Views
The movie sucked, yes. Adams had also been dead for four years when it came out. *NM* Tom - 10/10/2009 02:19:38 AM 397 Views
Right. RandAllThor - 10/10/2009 02:37:08 AM 889 Views
One little thing Larry - 10/10/2009 02:39:01 AM 966 Views
Are you sure? RandAllThor - 10/10/2009 02:43:01 AM 917 Views
Yes Larry - 10/10/2009 04:02:40 AM 1147 Views
I stand corrected. Looking forward to your review! RandAllThor - 10/10/2009 01:00:38 PM 846 Views
Perhaps Larry - 09/10/2009 06:08:17 PM 996 Views
So on Monday we'll find out if the widow's cash need resulted in a good book. Tom - 10/10/2009 04:21:22 AM 882 Views
Pretty much (plus I have to finish reading the second half) Larry - 10/10/2009 05:34:38 AM 883 Views
A contrasting take on the first half of the book RandAllThor - 10/10/2009 04:10:18 PM 841 Views
Pretty sure Eugammon beat you to that sequel. Ghavrel - 19/10/2009 09:31:05 PM 1075 Views
Yes! Camilla - 19/10/2009 09:20:09 AM 772 Views
Rothfuss is a good idea, actually. Rebekah - 09/10/2009 02:59:53 PM 850 Views
There are a few, if I recall Larry - 09/10/2009 06:09:54 PM 834 Views
A question for you all. Rebekah - 09/10/2009 03:04:17 PM 908 Views
Sounds good to me. *NM* Legolas - 09/10/2009 03:29:54 PM 356 Views
I agree , or ... Nolan - 09/10/2009 04:36:03 PM 875 Views
That could work if people were interested enough. Rebekah - 11/10/2009 12:40:16 PM 878 Views
That would be cool with me. *NM* Bryce - 10/10/2009 10:32:15 AM 378 Views
Sounds interesting. *NM* BlackAdder - 13/10/2009 08:51:31 PM 342 Views
I suggest Nolan - 09/10/2009 04:58:27 PM 883 Views
Acacia: The War with the Mein by David Anthony Durham Sir Tybalt - 10/10/2009 02:32:59 PM 855 Views
You didn't mention the rapture! If that happens, will the club still be on? *NM* Bryce - 11/10/2009 07:51:59 AM 557 Views
I'd say yes. Pretty sure the people here will be Left Behind. *NM* Rebekah - 11/10/2009 12:39:05 PM 481 Views
Some will probably even be actively serving the Antichrist. Tom - 11/10/2009 04:16:45 PM 1081 Views
Prefer not to. Ouranid - 12/10/2009 03:14:30 AM 743 Views
Diary of a Drug Fiend was rather good. *NM* Tom - 12/10/2009 03:57:42 PM 380 Views
A compromise candidate RandAllThor - 14/10/2009 06:40:56 PM 749 Views
Fantastic book! I am always for putting that on any list. *NM* Tom - 14/10/2009 07:03:35 PM 382 Views
Is it bad that I read this as 'submissives wanted' PhotoJim - 14/10/2009 08:04:31 PM 1049 Views
