Hello, and belated thanks for adding me as an interesting library

Just had a look through yours, and have to concur on many of your star ratings(notably The 'Caine' Mutiny and *ahem* Jonathan Livingston Seagull!)

Happy reading

Jayne

What a wonderful review of Silas Marner! That is one of my favorite books of all time, and it disappoints me that so few people seem to appreciate it—what have high school English teachers been doing to make it so distasteful for their students? I had never thought of it as a response to the popular poor-to-rich stories of the time, but really it is! Thanks for adding another insight to my reading of this old favorite. :)

Steve, I've been racking my brains for a book that hit all your categories, but sadly, between the P and the war books, I just couldn't manage it. However, I did come up with one that hits for sure 4 categories, plus being my favorite nobel prize winner.

Gao Xingjiang's SOUL MOUNTAIN. It's gargantuan, Chinese, a nobel prize winner, I haven't snooped your library thoroughly but I bet you haven't read it. I was hoping it didn't have 5 reviews, but over 1000 LTers have read it and 16 of them took it upon themselves to write reviews! He lost the MSS somehow or had to leave it behind and rewrote the whole thing in Paris.

It is a book that requires patience. It's very very Chinese, I think. Unfolding. Not for impatient readers. But you don't strike me as that sort.

I went to this bother because your list struck me. Oh, and a great great war book, very short, is James Jones' The Thin Red Line. I read it long ago, in my twenties, but it made a big impression on me and has the virtue of not being From Here to Eternity......

Hello Steve! Thank you for adding me as your (apparently first!) interesting library. Quite a compliment!

I'm awaiting with bated breath your rating of "Silas Marner". Anyone who gives de Maupassant 5 stars and "Dracula" 2-1/2 stars has a definite literary vision. I look forward to seeing it revealed as time passes.

Inverness...that's in Cornwall, right? Where Arthur was conceived...? (Joking, just joking!)

Cheers, see you round the Thing,
RMD
