So, I have a list of authors here. It's a bit like Pokémon... Gotta catch them all. jh - 26/09/2009 08:17:06 PM 2445 Views
Myself, so far... jh - 26/09/2009 08:22:52 PM 1161 Views
Read Faulkner Larry - 26/09/2009 09:05:22 PM 1202 Views
He is on the list, you know. jh - 26/09/2009 09:46:12 PM 1147 Views
Don't listen to Larry Camilla - 28/09/2009 10:02:33 AM 1154 Views
Mann is okay, but... Larry - 30/09/2009 02:21:50 AM 1128 Views
Wow Fantasy - 26/09/2009 08:52:10 PM 1143 Views
Oh. jh - 26/09/2009 09:01:31 PM 1302 Views
Yes, even people with virtually no education have usually heard of Churchill and/or Kipling. *NM* Tom - 26/09/2009 09:37:59 PM 517 Views
I do! AND I have an education! *NM* Fantasy - 27/09/2009 03:56:36 AM 634 Views
Oh, yes! Fantasy - 27/09/2009 03:56:09 AM 1197 Views
I've read 36 of those Larry - 26/09/2009 09:04:18 PM 1197 Views
Well, if Churchill can get it... Legolas - 26/09/2009 09:39:04 PM 1102 Views
Nah.... jh - 26/09/2009 09:52:25 PM 1202 Views
Two years later, the total is up to 48 Larry - 10/10/2011 05:18:36 AM 1184 Views
Okay, I've read a few of these people. (EDITED to specify what works) Tom - 26/09/2009 09:36:31 PM 1266 Views
Gee, I wonder what the theme is... Legolas - 26/09/2009 09:37:38 PM 1288 Views
It's not so hard to figure that out... jh - 26/09/2009 09:44:55 PM 1218 Views
Why is that? Because the prize is utterly meaningless? Tom - 26/09/2009 09:58:39 PM 1270 Views
Of course it is meaningless, all prizes are. jh - 26/09/2009 10:08:36 PM 1318 Views
Oh...but those are the "Some People" that I look down my elitist nose at. Tom - 26/09/2009 10:18:01 PM 1171 Views
Read these: Stephen - 26/09/2009 09:43:26 PM 1133 Views
Well. jh - 26/09/2009 09:51:11 PM 1169 Views
Yes. Stephen - 26/09/2009 11:03:01 PM 1175 Views
Let's see. Rebekah - 26/09/2009 09:58:12 PM 1267 Views
Of all the Russian authors to receive the prize, Solzhenitsyn is the worst stylistically Tom - 26/09/2009 10:03:11 PM 1091 Views
I've been meaning to read Pasternak for such a long time. Rebekah - 26/09/2009 10:06:28 PM 1230 Views
Don't put it on a list at amazon. Put it in the cart, then click on "purchase". Tom - 26/09/2009 10:23:33 PM 1136 Views
I don't buy books online myself. If I did people would never know what to get me. Rebekah - 26/09/2009 10:26:01 PM 1221 Views
And yet Pasternak isn't on your list. Tom - 28/09/2009 05:28:42 AM 1336 Views
See, I can't remember if I read Pasternak... jh - 26/09/2009 10:11:14 PM 1148 Views
It's one of my favorite books of all time. Tom - 26/09/2009 10:21:37 PM 1187 Views
I was just gonna ask about that. Legolas - 26/09/2009 10:23:44 PM 1279 Views
The movie destroyed the entire idea of the book. Tom - 27/09/2009 03:00:54 AM 1085 Views
There's an ITV film of the book with Keira Knightley. It looks utterly appalling. *NM* Rebekah - 26/09/2009 10:25:12 PM 525 Views
For what it's worth, the recent Russian miniseries wasn't fantastic. Tom - 27/09/2009 03:02:25 AM 1092 Views
I'll do it if I can have the rest of my life to accomplish it. nossy - 26/09/2009 10:43:53 PM 1162 Views
Only 10 of them. Burr - 26/09/2009 11:53:47 PM 1229 Views
From my list, Hesse's Siddhartha is my foremost recommendation. *NM* Burr - 26/09/2009 11:55:03 PM 618 Views
Only these ones have I already read, but I'll try the challenge. Could take me a while, atm. IndigoAjah - 27/09/2009 02:48:10 AM 1079 Views
What'd you think of Transcendence of the Ego? *NM* Dan - 27/09/2009 05:12:35 AM 1199 Views
Hey, Dan, long time no see IndigoAjah - 27/09/2009 10:41:02 AM 1322 Views
Just bought a Marquez book *NM* IndigoAjah - 01/10/2009 07:16:22 PM 497 Views
Not very many. Spriteling - 27/09/2009 08:36:14 AM 1330 Views
It would take me a long time to finish this list. Fred Gaidin - 27/09/2009 03:50:02 PM 1185 Views

I worked out that the best way to make use of this thread is to remove the names I have read... jh - 02/10/2009 08:43:57 PM 1332 Views
A great deal of those... after a fashion DomA - 08/10/2011 06:30:00 PM 1260 Views
