"The Left Hand of Darkness" by Ursula K. Le Guin
Unless someone knows a better book by her, I just want to read her.

[faith]

I would like to nominate Frank McCourt's "Angela's Ashes"! Its a wondeful book that I think everybody should read. I read it last spring and was totaly sold.

[Sycron]

I'm going to nominate Ivanhoe. Just thought that it would be a good book to read and discuss.

[amuse]

I have two nominations.
1) I again came with "Ali and Nino" by Kurban Said. Maybe because it's the last best book I read and it impressed me a lot.
2) I would like to read short sotiries by O.Henry in English.

I'm a newbie here, hope I can nominate!

- One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest by Kesey

How about "The Razor's Edge" by W. Somerset Maugham? I really enjoyed "Of Human Bondage" and would like to read some more of his stuff.

[Miranda]

How about some fun....The Throwback by Tom Sharpe?

[fayefaye]

Don Quixote. I think it's been dominated previously, but not for this month.....

[Dunpeal]

I nominate 1984 (George Orwell) and "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" (Robert Louis Stevenson) and The Island of Dr. Moreau (H.G. Wells).

(well... the latter two I believe are really more long short stories than books/novels... but they should be discussed)

I believe the "There are two ways to look at life.." quote was said by Albert Einstein.


"When anger rises, think of the consequences." (Confucius)

The Thin Man by Dashiell Hammett

Seems like it might be a fun book to read.
