I think that would definitely qualify. Legolas Send a noteboard - 17/12/2010 09:07:28 PM
Question re: Family Chronicle. Do you mean books like One Hundred Years of Solitude?

We were trying to think of less obvious genres and that one came to mind, but there are definitely many kinds of family chronicles, ranging from the highly literary like OHYoS to the, well, pulp. The choice is yours. :P

I refuse to watch film versions of books if I can help it Larry - 14/12/2010 01:20:21 AM 1684 Views
I generally agree, but sometimes the movies are better than the books. *NM* ranagrande - 14/12/2010 01:27:44 AM 1011 Views
Most of my favorite books are unfilmable. *NM* Larry - 14/12/2010 01:40:04 AM 962 Views
Just like Watchmen! *NM* Craig - 14/12/2010 02:46:14 AM 989 Views
Yup. Darth_Katie - 14/12/2010 04:06:14 AM 1703 Views

Also Big Fish. Craig - 14/12/2010 08:02:07 PM 1876 Views

Lots of poor movies there Larry - 14/12/2010 10:48:59 PM 1712 Views

Question: Can books count for multiple challenges? *NM* Great Lord of Chaos - 14/12/2010 09:34:28 PM 1063 Views
Preferably not. But we can be tolerant if you're running out of time. Rebekah - 14/12/2010 09:49:26 PM 1670 Views
But the challenge-books can count towards the 50 and the book you'd been meaning to read. Legolas - 14/12/2010 10:17:12 PM 1696 Views
Re: But the challenge-books can count towards the 50 and the book you'd been meaning to read. Rebekah - 14/12/2010 10:22:06 PM 1734 Views

Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian? Larry - 15/12/2010 01:08:04 PM 1925 Views
I liked The Road and No Country For Old Men as well. Jessie - 22/12/2010 06:23:23 PM 1764 Views
Is The Road really a western, though? *NM* Legolas - 22/12/2010 10:30:44 PM 1016 Views
true. Not so much, I just always pigeonhole McCarthy as a westernish writer. *NM* Jessie - 25/12/2010 02:20:54 AM 907 Views
Karl May? Legolas - 15/12/2010 07:27:03 PM 1816 Views
