Hi, Jekan. I don't know why have you chosen me to read your story. While flattered, I am afraid you're mistaken, I am not a fan of a sci-fi genre and I am not acquainted enough with it to be a good...

Saba, thank you for the recommendations. Right now I don't have the time to watch the films, but I will see them as soon as I can. The thing is I need more energy and concentration to watch them so...

Sounds familiar. I can handle the numbers, but when it comes to doing something with them I am quite bad :D

9th of February is fine. But more time wouldn't be bad. Either way works for me.

Hahah, somehow I doubt that :lol: It's on 9 February

Yes, I liked it, too. They've change the story and the accents here and there, but I could feel the atmosphere of the book quite clearly. It wasn't what I expected, but I wasn't disappointed either.

Count me in, too. I'd like discussing the book, since the last time I tried reading Faulkner it turned out to be a rather difficult task. I read "The Sound and the Fury" but I wasn't good enough...

That's quite interesting indeed. But this isn't the only strange thing we've seen when it comes to the problem with authorship. These mysteries turned out rather difficult to solve and I start to...

Yes, this contrast of environment is definitely good idea. But I wonder if this doesn't somehow change the end of the experience. Being a isolated in the city and in the woods makes the whole thing...

Yes, I want to do the same. When I finished the trilogy the first time I read it I started reading Thoreau, now I am starting with Withman (well, I wanted to read his poems since I read Cunningham's...

I want in too :D (Sagittarius)

I've seen parts from Match Point. I caught the last ten minutes of it while they were broadcasting it on TV. They made me want to watch the whole film, but it will have to wait. Same with Cassandra's...

Today I bought three new books :D
"The Complete Poems of Walt Whitman" - the Wordsworth Edition. I've been searching for it for a few months and finally saw it in the book store. It is actually...

As I said in my previous post, in my opinion the Don Quixote's authorship problem could be a hint how to solve this one. What if the person who actually find the manuscript is Quinn himself? I...

WOW, you have great ideas :thumbs_up This discussion is getting better and better.

TheFifthElement I like your ideas on Quinn/Willson/Work trio, but I have a bit different theory. I agree the...

Great idea, Lupe. I loved the movie. It seems this reading is going to turn into some kind of big experiment. I can't wait to see how all this will end :p

I actually enjoyed "Moon Palace", but...

Janine, thank you for the links. I was considering seing "Cassandra's dream" next :D What amazed me most after reading some of the lists is that he actually makes a film every year and on top of that...

I was rather surprised by that. Probably because I don't like "Siddharta" :D I was for "Steppenwolf".
Also, I regret seeing Cunningham didn't make it. Maybe the next time :)

Hi, Janine, I've been wondering what have happened to you :) Your post is a bit intimidating, all this knowledge :D To be honest I haven't even heard some of the titles you mentioned. As I said I...

I think Marquez made it. I am sure I saw "100 years of solitude" somewhere. I don't regret this one though :D

edit: yes, it's 32.

I, on the other hand, will switch the places of "The Portrait of the Artists as a Young Man" and "Dubliners". Although the second one is a book of short stories it confused me more than the novel....

I see what you mean and I agree with you. When I said it is balanced, I have in mind the time period the books were written in. Yes, probably after ten years some of the them wouldn't be in the top...

Great list, Dark Muse. I suppose you've put lots of effort in this but it's worth it. Thank you for making it :)
I am glad the list is so balanced, there are classics and some quite new books. May...

I've read some of his works, unfortunately I am far from reading everything he has published (I wish I had though), but still he is one of my favourite authors. Skasian is right that most of them are...

I was wondering what has happened to this thread since i couldn't find it lately. Probably I just haven't seen it :lol:

Yesterday I finally saw "Vicky Cristina Barcelona". It deserves at least...

Well, I've finally finished some books I'd started a few months ago:
"Thérèse Raquin" by Émile Zola.
"The Servant of the Bones" by Anne Rice (uh, finally)
"Madame Bovary" by Gustav Flauber
"The...
