I will definitely be reading that one too... It is one of the Pulitzer winners! :D

Ah, and I was biding my time to remind Scher this month that she still owes me a vote, but I see she has voted already. Ah, those promises. As illusory as Kit-Kats ;)
Go Steppenwolf!!!
Only 10 votes???
I voted for The Reader which I want to read. I would also be interested in Far From the Madding Crowd which I read a number of years ago, The Lovely Bones, which I own but have not yet read (so sad!), and possibly Steppenwolf.
Ohhhhhhh! I have Steppenwolf on my 'to-read' pile, but am completely booked up by the novels I have to read for uni :( Not to mention the textbooks and readers.
Steppenwolf is one of the books I have a mental block about... Somehow I persuaded myself years ago that I wouldn't like it so have never picked it up.
Mwah ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.....:iagree:
I started to read it about 18 years ago and I must have stopped during the treatise on the Steppenwolf within it because I couldn't remember anymore about it. I'm currently re-reading it, and it is interesting to reflect on, and how it was held up as a cultural icon. I certainly find it clearer than the first time round. It's not an easy read, but is nonetheless interesting.
Going once...
Going twice...
