A clockwork orange
The grapes of wrath
The sound and the fury
A light in August
As I lay dying
I love Faulkner sue me

Fahrenheit 451
Read that in jr high only because my school at the time banned that book.

The Old Man and The Sea is my favorite book of all time. I've easily read it 30-40 times all the way through. I can't really explain why. There's something beautiful about the simplicity of the plot, and the way in which Hemingway paints each scene in such a vivid manner. I love it. Never had to read it for school either, so that probably helped my opinion a little.

Read "In the Garden of Beasts", I actually liked it better. Larson is a fantastic writer
I put it on hold through the eBooks thing my local library does.
I downloaded The Hobbit a couple days ago. I need to knock that out before I go see the movie.

I hate the shite out of Faulkner. Openly. In Oxford. To the English Dept.

I felt like this book was overrated to a degree, which is why I want to go back and re-read it now that I'm a little older.

I'm not a big Faulkner fan either. There's just something "too heavy" or detailed. I really can't quite say what it is

Solid book. Loved the juxtaposition of the Chicago World's Fair and America's first serial killer.
Sounds like a read I'd like

He's not my favorite either. But I have extremely odd tastes in literature. I loved Frankenstein when we had to read it in HS. Couldn't put it down. Sat in a deer blind and read the entire thing in one day.

I hated Faulkner when I was young. I'm from his hometown so I was force fed it from an early age. When I got out of school and went back and read them they were amazing.

You can still read me Faulkner in bed D.
I'd suggest some others but you all won't want to read my feminist bullshite.
In all seriousness though, Wally Lamb's "I Know This Much is True" is solid.

He is overly verbose with no need. A close reading doesn't reveal anything. That's why I love Nabokov. Every syllable is a necessary clue.

Belle.. you crack me up.
You should take a break from the e romances and put a full on effort to find a Louisvillian gentleman.
