I like your list. Rebekah Send a noteboard - 09/10/2009 03:02:09 PM
I don't agree with calling them "classic", though. :P

The Name of the Rose would be a good option, perhaps.

The real problem... - 08/10/2009 08:40:50 PM 1018 Views
That's a good point too. - 08/10/2009 08:45:30 PM 963 Views
Well, we could always discuss Nabokov in December. - 08/10/2009 11:18:57 PM 930 Views
Done! - 09/10/2009 03:00:30 PM 946 Views
Hmm...I'm still thinking about the name - 09/10/2009 03:57:48 PM 1060 Views
I'd be up for reading Doctor Zhivago. - 08/10/2009 10:08:09 PM 952 Views
yeah, me too. only need to find it in a library near me. *NM* - 08/10/2009 10:09:32 PM 397 Views
Don't be cheap. Buy it. - 08/10/2009 11:16:18 PM 963 Views
Well, I would, but I don't like online bookstores. - 09/10/2009 01:19:19 AM 1008 Views
Well, but you just said you didn't know if you could find it in the library. - 09/10/2009 02:07:54 AM 963 Views
Oh, but... - 09/10/2009 11:01:01 AM 927 Views
Also: I did not say any such thing. *NM* - 10/10/2009 12:49:06 PM 399 Views
The Gone-Away World, obviously - 08/10/2009 09:23:12 PM 901 Views
Obviously. - 09/10/2009 03:00:47 PM 926 Views
I second these statements *NM* - 13/10/2009 09:37:28 PM 423 Views
This one *NM* - 19/10/2009 10:44:37 PM 404 Views
AS Byatt - Possession. - 08/10/2009 10:21:39 PM 961 Views
It is a book of wonder. Possibly not good for the masses. *NM* - 09/10/2009 03:01:13 PM 501 Views
Perfect timing! Or, perhaps in December. - 09/10/2009 09:35:00 PM 1089 Views
i loved that book!!! she is amazing. just wonderful writing... *NM* - 13/10/2009 08:44:59 PM 381 Views
How about a classic novel? - 08/10/2009 11:30:31 PM 1178 Views
You have a very strange definition of classics... *NM* - 09/10/2009 01:20:37 AM 424 Views
Replace "strange" with "erroneous" and I'll agree with you. - 09/10/2009 02:09:27 AM 933 Views
Really? - 09/10/2009 03:08:53 AM 1407 Views
for classic science fiction, your list contained one I could support... - 09/10/2009 11:06:34 AM 958 Views
I'd be up for those. *NM* - 09/10/2009 05:34:19 PM 587 Views
You said "classic novel". Science fiction doesn't generally meet that standard. - 09/10/2009 02:52:01 PM 1019 Views
I understand your point. However... - 09/10/2009 05:47:54 PM 1374 Views
This isn't really a SF/F Board - 09/10/2009 09:35:06 PM 937 Views
I like your list. - 09/10/2009 03:02:09 PM 921 Views
I think if you're gonna do Eco, picking another book to start with would be wiser... *NM* - 09/10/2009 03:28:50 PM 407 Views
Why? - 09/10/2009 03:32:05 PM 878 Views
And what book would that be??? - 09/10/2009 03:47:49 PM 961 Views
Foucault's Pendulum seems like the obvious one. - 09/10/2009 03:58:37 PM 1023 Views
Having both FP and NotR recently... - 09/10/2009 04:31:00 PM 876 Views
No way. - 09/10/2009 04:56:39 PM 1075 Views
Oh well. I'll have to blame my faulty memory then. - 09/10/2009 10:11:55 PM 850 Views
Based on past experiences here and elsewhere, it'll be hard to choose the "right" book - 09/10/2009 02:46:22 AM 1242 Views
That Hitchhiker book is as genuine as the "new" Winnie-the-Pooh book - 09/10/2009 02:54:23 PM 986 Views
Perhaps, but it's worth remembering that... - 09/10/2009 03:45:53 PM 890 Views
Adams killed Arthur Dent for a reason - 09/10/2009 05:02:23 PM 1002 Views
The movie was not faithful to the books in any meaningful way. *NM* - 09/10/2009 08:58:01 PM 391 Views
The movie sucked, yes. Adams had also been dead for four years when it came out. *NM* - 10/10/2009 02:19:38 AM 403 Views
Right. - 10/10/2009 02:37:08 AM 907 Views
One little thing - 10/10/2009 02:39:01 AM 984 Views
Are you sure? - 10/10/2009 02:43:01 AM 936 Views
Yes - 10/10/2009 04:02:40 AM 1161 Views
I stand corrected. Looking forward to your review! - 10/10/2009 01:00:38 PM 862 Views
Perhaps - 09/10/2009 06:08:17 PM 1012 Views
So on Monday we'll find out if the widow's cash need resulted in a good book. - 10/10/2009 04:21:22 AM 897 Views
Pretty much (plus I have to finish reading the second half) - 10/10/2009 05:34:38 AM 898 Views
A contrasting take on the first half of the book - 10/10/2009 04:10:18 PM 856 Views
Pretty sure Eugammon beat you to that sequel. - 19/10/2009 09:31:05 PM 1097 Views
Yes! - 19/10/2009 09:20:09 AM 797 Views
Rothfuss is a good idea, actually. - 09/10/2009 02:59:53 PM 865 Views
There are a few, if I recall - 09/10/2009 06:09:54 PM 853 Views
A question for you all. - 09/10/2009 03:04:17 PM 929 Views
Sounds good to me. *NM* - 09/10/2009 03:29:54 PM 364 Views
I agree , or ... - 09/10/2009 04:36:03 PM 888 Views
That could work if people were interested enough. - 11/10/2009 12:40:16 PM 897 Views
That would be cool with me. *NM* - 10/10/2009 10:32:15 AM 383 Views
Sounds interesting. *NM* - 13/10/2009 08:51:31 PM 347 Views
I suggest - 09/10/2009 04:58:27 PM 900 Views
Acacia: The War with the Mein by David Anthony Durham - 10/10/2009 02:32:59 PM 871 Views
You didn't mention the rapture! If that happens, will the club still be on? *NM* - 11/10/2009 07:51:59 AM 564 Views
I'd say yes. Pretty sure the people here will be Left Behind. *NM* - 11/10/2009 12:39:05 PM 486 Views
Some will probably even be actively serving the Antichrist. - 11/10/2009 04:16:45 PM 1101 Views
Prefer not to. - 12/10/2009 03:14:30 AM 763 Views
Diary of a Drug Fiend was rather good. *NM* - 12/10/2009 03:57:42 PM 386 Views
