We have Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi, if you want to borrow that.

I have been planning to read that, too.

First I have to make sure I haven't read anything from Iran, though. Do we consider Gilgamesh Iran?

I don't.

Googling may provide titles, but rarely quality assessment that I can trust. I don't want to waste my time reading shit.

Of the list at the link below, I've heard very good things about Alex Haley's Roots and have been meaning to read it for ages. I'm going to make that mine.

Paul really enjoyed White Teeth.</quote

I've read White Teeth.

Waugh is tempting, though.

Pride? A feeling of accomplishment? Rebekah - 13/12/2010 11:01:55 PM 1322 Views
Seems worth it. ? - 16/12/2010 09:51:48 PM 1365 Views

I think it says "challenge" Camilla - 15/12/2010 02:04:34 AM 1374 Views
Competition with yourself, then. Darth_Katie - 15/12/2010 03:52:13 AM 1414 Views
I refuse to watch film versions of books if I can help it Larry - 14/12/2010 01:20:21 AM 1360 Views
I generally agree, but sometimes the movies are better than the books. *NM* ranagrande - 14/12/2010 01:27:44 AM 812 Views
Most of my favorite books are unfilmable. *NM* Larry - 14/12/2010 01:40:04 AM 795 Views
Just like Watchmen! *NM* Craig - 14/12/2010 02:46:14 AM 792 Views
Yup. Darth_Katie - 14/12/2010 04:06:14 AM 1387 Views
I never watched that. Cockatiel of Doom - 19/12/2010 01:12:19 AM 1478 Views
You are a lucky lady. Darth_Katie - 19/12/2010 03:53:30 AM 1522 Views

I'll name a dozen. ranagrande - 14/12/2010 10:32:04 AM 1428 Views
Not all of those are valid choices. Tom - 14/12/2010 03:32:55 PM 1457 Views
Also Big Fish. Craig - 14/12/2010 08:02:07 PM 1542 Views
I prefer the book version of that, by the way Larry - 14/12/2010 10:45:54 PM 1450 Views
Weird. *NM* Craig - 15/12/2010 05:47:21 AM 800 Views
Lots of poor movies there Larry - 14/12/2010 10:48:59 PM 1379 Views
Yeah, I don't know how any movie could be as bad as that book. *NM* BlackAdder - 15/12/2010 08:06:20 AM 949 Views

Seems nice, I will try to do the half-dozen challange *NM* ursidae - 14/12/2010 07:32:20 PM 914 Views
This is a really good idea. I like the challenges. I wonder if I can be arsed to do one. Or more. *NM* M & M Maddy - 14/12/2010 08:23:42 PM 940 Views
Question: Can books count for multiple challenges? *NM* Great Lord of Chaos - 14/12/2010 09:34:28 PM 884 Views
Preferably not. But we can be tolerant if you're running out of time. Rebekah - 14/12/2010 09:49:26 PM 1341 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 1334 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 1394 Views
So... Kaldric - 15/12/2010 04:13:27 PM 1619 Views
A single book can count for many things... Jacob - 15/12/2010 04:17:59 PM 1489 Views
Oooh. This sounds great, count me in! Avendesora - 15/12/2010 12:38:39 AM 1799 Views

Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian? Larry - 15/12/2010 01:08:04 PM 1549 Views
I liked The Road and No Country For Old Men as well. Jessie - 22/12/2010 06:23:23 PM 1424 Views
Is The Road really a western, though? *NM* Legolas - 22/12/2010 10:30:44 PM 841 Views
true. Not so much, I just always pigeonhole McCarthy as a westernish writer. *NM* Jessie - 25/12/2010 02:20:54 AM 735 Views
Karl May? Legolas - 15/12/2010 07:27:03 PM 1501 Views

Re: <will watch interestedly as you play> Danae al'Thor - 16/12/2010 12:22:54 PM 1386 Views
I think you should try to do one challenge now issued by myself Larry - 16/12/2010 01:07:18 PM 1409 Views
Re: If I can afford it, then of course I'll read it. Danae al'Thor - 17/12/2010 12:35:02 PM 1446 Views

Dirty half dozen and genre challenges for me Stephen - 17/12/2010 12:14:00 PM 1402 Views

I'm going for the 120 book challenge. Jessie - 22/12/2010 06:18:25 PM 1428 Views
I think you missed a trick here. Michael - 30/12/2010 09:19:20 AM 1496 Views
I think that one is always understood. *NM* Camilla - 30/12/2010 09:36:38 AM 883 Views
I don't think it is. Michael - 30/12/2010 04:20:41 PM 1326 Views
