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

    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!!!

    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.

    It's pretty good - it might never be read and discussed ever again - you know you want to...

    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.

    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.
