The Swedish version I am reading is called "Illusionen om Gud". |

(OP) User ID: 539765 United Kingdom01/01/2009 10:30 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have a question for all of you....If you start a book and find it to be dull and boring, will you finish it regardless or will you put it down and start a new one? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 565221Dont think i have ever put a book down because i was bored with it, i have found some books to be a hard slog and have tried to follow the story only to be a little confused. Last Exit to brooklyn by Hubert Selby Junior was one of those books, the prose is pretty difficult at times. There is NO PROFIT IN PEACE, There is NO PROPHET IN PEACE.

User ID: 583978  France01/01/2009 02:53 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've been on a Rex Stout binge! What fun. I had read a "biography" of Sherlock Holmes, which made a case for Nero Wolfe being Sherlock Holmes' illegitimate son. The same guy who wrote the biography of Sherlock Holmes, Sherlock Holmes of Baker Street, wrote one about Nero Wolfe too! The Nero Wolfe mystery novels are really delightful, such great characters with so many quirks! He's so abrasive, but is devoted to his 10,000 rare orchids. And Archie Goodwin is so sexy and always on the make. Highly recommended. Also the copies I have were part of a group that came from a person who had a ton of P.G. Wodehouse, so I thought that was a great recommendation as well. |

Also recently read A PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST AS A YOUNG MAN by James Joyce and found it incredibly illuminating. Once of the richest and most symbolic books I have read. I'm looking forward to reading more Joyce. I just started ISHMAEL by Daniel Quinn and it has me pretty jazzed to keep reading! |
