Re: I think that would definitely qualify. Stephen Send a noteboard - 20/12/2010 12:45:42 AM
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


Ok, this might make me actually read it now

I refuse to watch film versions of books if I can help it Larry - 14/12/2010 01:20:21 AM 1385 Views
I generally agree, but sometimes the movies are better than the books. *NM* ranagrande - 14/12/2010 01:27:44 AM 822 Views
Most of my favorite books are unfilmable. *NM* Larry - 14/12/2010 01:40:04 AM 804 Views
Just like Watchmen! *NM* Craig - 14/12/2010 02:46:14 AM 803 Views

Question: Can books count for multiple challenges? *NM* Great Lord of Chaos - 14/12/2010 09:34:28 PM 895 Views
Preferably not. But we can be tolerant if you're running out of time. Rebekah - 14/12/2010 09:49:26 PM 1369 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 1362 Views

I liked The Road and No Country For Old Men as well. Jessie - 22/12/2010 06:23:23 PM 1450 Views
Is The Road really a western, though? *NM* Legolas - 22/12/2010 10:30:44 PM 854 Views
true. Not so much, I just always pigeonhole McCarthy as a westernish writer. *NM* Jessie - 25/12/2010 02:20:54 AM 747 Views
Karl May? Legolas - 15/12/2010 07:27:03 PM 1526 Views
