The Jungle by Upton Sinclair.

It's rampant because the consumer's know they've been ripped off for years. The industries did their best in limiting options for accessing content, but the internet and the ability to digitize...

Just read The Stranger. I'm floored. I'm looking forward to more books by that author.

I was called snobbish today, because I haven't read Harry Potter nor Twilight. A couple of ladies (I'm a gentleman) were discussing the stories at lunch and asked if I've I was in to them. "No", I...

I'm going to have to say Stephen King. I haven't read anything he wrote since Bag of Bones (and most recently Full Dark, No Stars), but he's about as silly as I'll go.

Just about everyone. David Shields and Jonathan Franzen have been taking jabs at each other for a while now, so your comment is not objective and obviously biased. Writer talking about another...

I'm starting tomorrows

All I have are Jonathan franzen. Any others?

What are your books for guilty pleasure reading?

Just finished the book.

Any big difference between the uncensored version vs the plain version?

Ya, if I keep putting it off, I'll never get to it. It's already March and I've had the book since Christmas. Since tomorrow is my b-day, I think that's a good time to start and see how long it...

Ok, I've got The Jungle. How does this (meaning the book club) work?

I received the love Pevear translated paperback version for Christmas and one of my goals this is year is to read it. I've got 3 other books I want to get through before I start it (Invisible Man,...

I'm down to participate. Just let me know which book to download to my Kindle.

How much do you give a book a chance to get good before giving up on it. Some books are more challenging than others, and therefore I give them more time to get into it before calling it quits on...

Jonathan Franzen's The Corrections and Freedom are classic novels.

I see this in alot of literary reviews. What does it really mean? What are they looking for?

The Road by Cormac Mccarthy
Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe
Tinkers by Paul Harding

They were on sale for ~$5 for Amazon Kindle + I don't think I ever read Pulitzer Prize winning books before.

Well I'm 33 and I read Stephen in my teen years, eagerly trying to read alot of his stuff. I loved him then, but lost touch with him after a while. Partly because I realized he's been writing...

Wrong book. But Animal Farm does have one of the best last sentences in literature.

That's just the "theme" for this season.

For me (in order):

The Brothers Karamazov
Anna Karenina
Lolita
Crime & Punishment
The Idiot
War & Peace (don't think I'll actually get to this one, but it'll be on my 2011 reading list)
