Has anyone read any of the books listed? I have only read 'Dangling Man' while I was at university and liked it... (I know, I know... it is against the law to like one's course work but...)

I read Bellow's Herzog a looooong time ago, in high school, and very much enjoyed it, making it worthy for recommendation to any readers.

[Jay]

Nope, never read anything of his... and what's wrong with liking one's course work? :p
Even course works have their good moments ;)... ok, some :goof:

[Scheherazade]

Seems like Seize The Day will be a clear winner... I am ordering my copy next time when I am in the town centre.

[blp]

Wow. I haven't even heard of that one. My downstairs neighbour just moved out and left me with a stack of books including Herzog, so if you all feel like voting altruistically, you could save me a few pounds on the cost of a book. Hmm. Unlikely.

I read Dangling Man recently. Nicely written, but I didn't really see the point.

Last 5 days of voting for Saul Bellow reading.

I liked it at university; I wonder what I would think of it if I read it now...

[Jay]

[Scheherazade]

How are you gonna do that to yourself??? :p

[Jay]

To myself? HUH? Wait, you mean... ME? No way, I'm no hIjAcKeR!!! :D

[Scheherazade]

*raises one eyebrow and refrains from making any further comments*

[Jay]

Technically speaking, 'till someone didn't accuse me of hIjAcKiNg I wasn't hIjAcKiNg the thread at all! :p

[Scheherazade]

Gone!

Seize the Day it is then, folks! Get your books ready! :)
