I'd be up for reading Doctor Zhivago. Legolas Send a noteboard - 08/10/2009 10:08:09 PM
Whereas I probably wouldn't buy (and hence, given the release date, read) the Nabokov book. There may be others in the same position, though then again maybe not.

November Sci-Fi/Fantasy Book Club: submissions ended! ... New new edit on 18/10/2009 Rebekah - 08/10/2009 06:56:01 PM 2036 Views
Nabokov's The Original of Laura Tom - 08/10/2009 08:19:01 PM 1514 Views
I'd love that. Rebekah - 08/10/2009 08:25:39 PM 1515 Views
The real problem... Jacob - 08/10/2009 08:40:50 PM 1406 Views
That's a good point too. Rebekah - 08/10/2009 08:45:30 PM 1387 Views
Well, we could always discuss Nabokov in December. Tom - 08/10/2009 11:18:57 PM 1386 Views
Done! Rebekah - 09/10/2009 03:00:30 PM 1406 Views
Hmm...I'm still thinking about the name Tom - 09/10/2009 03:57:48 PM 1489 Views
I'd be up for reading Doctor Zhivago. Legolas - 08/10/2009 10:08:09 PM 1396 Views
yeah, me too. only need to find it in a library near me. *NM* jh - 08/10/2009 10:09:32 PM 632 Views
Don't be cheap. Buy it. Tom - 08/10/2009 11:16:18 PM 1404 Views
Well, I would, but I don't like online bookstores. jh - 09/10/2009 01:19:19 AM 1488 Views
Well, but you just said you didn't know if you could find it in the library. Tom - 09/10/2009 02:07:54 AM 1372 Views
Oh, but... jh - 09/10/2009 11:01:01 AM 1381 Views
Also: I did not say any such thing. *NM* jh - 10/10/2009 12:49:06 PM 642 Views
The Gone-Away World, obviously Camilla - 08/10/2009 09:23:12 PM 1332 Views
Obviously. Rebekah - 09/10/2009 03:00:47 PM 1381 Views
I second these statements *NM* Stephen - 13/10/2009 09:37:28 PM 688 Views
This one *NM* ironclad - 19/10/2009 10:44:37 PM 647 Views
AS Byatt - Possession. Legolas - 08/10/2009 10:21:39 PM 1389 Views
It is a book of wonder. Possibly not good for the masses. *NM* Rebekah - 09/10/2009 03:01:13 PM 745 Views
Perfect timing! Or, perhaps in December. Comet Sedai - 09/10/2009 09:35:00 PM 1512 Views
i loved that book!!! she is amazing. just wonderful writing... *NM* temeraire - 13/10/2009 08:44:59 PM 598 Views
How about a classic novel? Haggard - 08/10/2009 11:30:31 PM 1607 Views
You have a very strange definition of classics... *NM* jh - 09/10/2009 01:20:37 AM 692 Views
Replace "strange" with "erroneous" and I'll agree with you. Tom - 09/10/2009 02:09:27 AM 1348 Views
Really? Haggard - 09/10/2009 03:08:53 AM 1857 Views
for classic science fiction, your list contained one I could support... jh - 09/10/2009 11:06:34 AM 1394 Views
I'd be up for those. *NM* Haggard - 09/10/2009 05:34:19 PM 812 Views
You said "classic novel". Science fiction doesn't generally meet that standard. Tom - 09/10/2009 02:52:01 PM 1454 Views
I understand your point. However... Haggard - 09/10/2009 05:47:54 PM 1847 Views
This isn't really a SF/F Board Tom - 09/10/2009 09:35:06 PM 1433 Views
I like your list. Rebekah - 09/10/2009 03:02:09 PM 1375 Views
I think if you're gonna do Eco, picking another book to start with would be wiser... *NM* Legolas - 09/10/2009 03:28:50 PM 632 Views
Why? Rebekah - 09/10/2009 03:32:05 PM 1301 Views
And what book would that be??? Tom - 09/10/2009 03:47:49 PM 1403 Views
Foucault's Pendulum seems like the obvious one. Legolas - 09/10/2009 03:58:37 PM 1493 Views
Having both FP and NotR recently... RandAllThor - 09/10/2009 04:31:00 PM 1368 Views
No way. Tom - 09/10/2009 04:56:39 PM 1511 Views
Oh well. I'll have to blame my faulty memory then. Legolas - 09/10/2009 10:11:55 PM 1283 Views
Based on past experiences here and elsewhere, it'll be hard to choose the "right" book Larry - 09/10/2009 02:46:22 AM 1728 Views
That Hitchhiker book is as genuine as the "new" Winnie-the-Pooh book Tom - 09/10/2009 02:54:23 PM 1404 Views
Perhaps, but it's worth remembering that... RandAllThor - 09/10/2009 03:45:53 PM 1324 Views
Adams killed Arthur Dent for a reason Tom - 09/10/2009 05:02:23 PM 1407 Views
The movie was not faithful to the books in any meaningful way. *NM* RandAllThor - 09/10/2009 08:58:01 PM 629 Views
The movie sucked, yes. Adams had also been dead for four years when it came out. *NM* Tom - 10/10/2009 02:19:38 AM 622 Views
Right. RandAllThor - 10/10/2009 02:37:08 AM 1334 Views
One little thing Larry - 10/10/2009 02:39:01 AM 1407 Views
Are you sure? RandAllThor - 10/10/2009 02:43:01 AM 1370 Views
Yes Larry - 10/10/2009 04:02:40 AM 1623 Views
I stand corrected. Looking forward to your review! RandAllThor - 10/10/2009 01:00:38 PM 1319 Views
Perhaps Larry - 09/10/2009 06:08:17 PM 1450 Views
So on Monday we'll find out if the widow's cash need resulted in a good book. Tom - 10/10/2009 04:21:22 AM 1373 Views
Pretty much (plus I have to finish reading the second half) Larry - 10/10/2009 05:34:38 AM 1341 Views
A contrasting take on the first half of the book RandAllThor - 10/10/2009 04:10:18 PM 1321 Views
Pretty sure Eugammon beat you to that sequel. Ghavrel - 19/10/2009 09:31:05 PM 1504 Views
Yes! Camilla - 19/10/2009 09:20:09 AM 1213 Views
Rothfuss is a good idea, actually. Rebekah - 09/10/2009 02:59:53 PM 1323 Views
There are a few, if I recall Larry - 09/10/2009 06:09:54 PM 1262 Views
A question for you all. Rebekah - 09/10/2009 03:04:17 PM 1369 Views
Sounds good to me. *NM* Legolas - 09/10/2009 03:29:54 PM 583 Views
I agree , or ... Nolan - 09/10/2009 04:36:03 PM 1302 Views
That could work if people were interested enough. Rebekah - 11/10/2009 12:40:16 PM 1318 Views
That would be cool with me. *NM* Bryce - 10/10/2009 10:32:15 AM 598 Views
Sounds interesting. *NM* BlackAdder - 13/10/2009 08:51:31 PM 570 Views
I suggest Nolan - 09/10/2009 04:58:27 PM 1340 Views
Acacia: The War with the Mein by David Anthony Durham Sir Tybalt - 10/10/2009 02:32:59 PM 1295 Views
You didn't mention the rapture! If that happens, will the club still be on? *NM* Bryce - 11/10/2009 07:51:59 AM 784 Views
I'd say yes. Pretty sure the people here will be Left Behind. *NM* Rebekah - 11/10/2009 12:39:05 PM 704 Views
Some will probably even be actively serving the Antichrist. Tom - 11/10/2009 04:16:45 PM 1517 Views
Prefer not to. Ouranid - 12/10/2009 03:14:30 AM 1208 Views
Diary of a Drug Fiend was rather good. *NM* Tom - 12/10/2009 03:57:42 PM 608 Views
A compromise candidate RandAllThor - 14/10/2009 06:40:56 PM 1189 Views
Fantastic book! I am always for putting that on any list. *NM* Tom - 14/10/2009 07:03:35 PM 631 Views
Is it bad that I read this as 'submissives wanted' PhotoJim - 14/10/2009 08:04:31 PM 1504 Views
