Dare I ask about the book club's next selection and timing? Tom - 09/02/2010 02:49:56 AM 1169 Views
You dare too much! Larry - 09/02/2010 02:51:48 AM 923 Views
Based on the length of the last one, why not The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire? Tom - 09/02/2010 01:29:13 PM 803 Views
At least that one would have a bit more depth to it Larry - 09/02/2010 01:46:29 PM 830 Views
Does anyone agree with Gibbon's conclusions? Tom - 09/02/2010 06:45:09 PM 788 Views
Currently, no. Not really. The Shrike - 09/02/2010 06:57:14 PM 891 Views
I would have thought you would have enjoyed his ironic sendup of Christianity, though. Tom - 10/02/2010 01:58:12 PM 1012 Views
His diction is lovely. The Shrike - 10/02/2010 04:12:09 PM 852 Views
I'm enjoying it thoroughly. Tom - 10/02/2010 05:54:20 PM 759 Views
I was wondering myself. Tashmere - 09/02/2010 03:10:55 AM 786 Views
You know, I thought about doing that a long time ago Tom - 09/02/2010 01:30:40 PM 846 Views
Oh, go ahead and do it. The Shrike - 09/02/2010 06:51:35 PM 944 Views
That would be outstanding. *NM* Rebekah - 09/02/2010 07:06:14 PM 415 Views
I'd be on board with it. I think Tom would be too. Sounds like you too. The Shrike - 09/02/2010 07:22:22 PM 778 Views
I don't think I'd manage to read all of them, but certainly some. *NM* Legolas - 09/02/2010 07:55:44 PM 392 Views
I might be in on at least 2, 4/5, 6,, 7 and 11. Possibly 10, although I haven't read it in a while Camilla - 09/02/2010 08:08:58 PM 759 Views
No love for Turgenev? Bazarov is one of the greatest characters in 19th century literature. The Shrike - 09/02/2010 08:22:57 PM 855 Views
There is love, but little time Camilla - 09/02/2010 08:24:33 PM 757 Views
Turgenev's Bazarov is the first person to say "God is dead" in print. *NM* Tom - 09/02/2010 09:29:19 PM 410 Views
And to this day those words are still shocking to read when I imagine The Shrike - 09/02/2010 11:09:57 PM 785 Views
Well, seeing the expressed interest... Tom - 09/02/2010 09:28:41 PM 805 Views
Re: Well, seeing the expressed interest... The Shrike - 10/02/2010 12:26:06 AM 958 Views
So how about keeping Zamyatin and replacing Lukyanenko with Pelevin? Tom - 10/02/2010 02:45:33 AM 930 Views
Sounds good. The Shrike - 10/02/2010 01:36:13 PM 883 Views
Чапаев и Пустота Tom - 10/02/2010 01:44:23 PM 874 Views
It's called "Buddha's Little Finger" in English for some reason. See the amazon review as well. *NM* Tom - 10/02/2010 01:51:02 PM 399 Views
Sounds interesting. I'd be interested in reading it. *NM* The Shrike - 10/02/2010 05:44:20 PM 413 Views
Do we have a final list, then? Tom - 10/02/2010 05:53:46 PM 893 Views
Well. Rebekah - 10/02/2010 06:36:00 PM 940 Views
I will totally join in with the Master and Margarita discussion. Whichever book club it's in. *NM* Tim - 10/02/2010 06:49:03 PM 420 Views
We're probably not choosing Master and Margarita for our first selection. Tom - 10/02/2010 08:16:36 PM 937 Views
Super dooper. *NM* Rebekah - 10/02/2010 09:08:47 PM 398 Views
Ah, I should have looked here first. The Shrike - 10/02/2010 09:34:30 PM 787 Views
In regards to order, a slightly different proprosal. The Shrike - 10/02/2010 09:41:38 PM 746 Views
At least I have an idea now of what books to watch for when I am out. Tashmere - 10/02/2010 11:04:26 PM 778 Views
My gamble has paid off. Tashmere - 21/05/2010 09:57:19 PM 729 Views
Hmm Camilla - 10/02/2010 12:20:52 PM 766 Views
The first book is one that I discussed at wotmania - Москва-Петушки Tom - 10/02/2010 01:46:57 PM 960 Views
I might be able to squeeze that in with my other readings Larry - 10/02/2010 12:53:02 AM 929 Views
Have you read Pelevin? Tom - 10/02/2010 03:16:22 AM 707 Views
No Larry - 10/02/2010 04:44:18 AM 797 Views
Strange - several of his books have been published in English and made a splash. Tom - 10/02/2010 01:50:34 PM 739 Views
My breadth and depth of reading sometimes leaves shallow areas Larry - 10/02/2010 11:32:19 PM 1055 Views
I think you should go for it. Haven't we only been doing the book club every other month anyway? Tashmere - 09/02/2010 09:44:46 PM 840 Views
I wouldn't want to exclude Russian literature from the main book club, though. Tom - 09/02/2010 10:11:08 PM 821 Views
I don't think that it would have to exclude Russian literature from the regular book club. Tashmere - 09/02/2010 10:39:41 PM 815 Views
I suppose that I could just go ahead regardless. Tom - 10/02/2010 03:18:01 AM 779 Views
I think you should nossy - 10/02/2010 11:44:00 AM 744 Views
Ehem. This could be a joint collaboration between us. *NM* The Shrike - 10/02/2010 01:37:36 PM 381 Views
That was certainly what I meant, if not what the text of my previous reply implies or states. Tom - 10/02/2010 01:52:36 PM 757 Views
I wouldn't worry too much about that Larry - 10/02/2010 12:54:31 AM 945 Views
I was wondering this as well. nossy - 09/02/2010 01:25:09 PM 774 Views
We'll try to make sure the next book is even longer than this one was. Tom - 09/02/2010 01:31:44 PM 771 Views
The choice is obvious, then. A la Recherche du Temps Perdu. *NM* Legolas - 09/02/2010 01:48:15 PM 384 Views
Oi, shush you. *NM* nossy - 09/02/2010 02:16:19 PM 379 Views
Oh, that's a good choice. Let's give everyone a week to finish, though. Tom - 09/02/2010 06:42:59 PM 808 Views
I need more time than that... jh - 09/02/2010 08:45:03 PM 730 Views
Maybe you'll get a special dispensation, but nine is really as much as we can give. Tom - 09/02/2010 09:30:30 PM 779 Views
It would have been ok if I had started as soon as I knew the choice. nossy - 09/02/2010 02:17:43 PM 775 Views
Patience Jacob - 09/02/2010 02:15:14 PM 729 Views
Is Larry right? Are you ecstatic about the prospect of an independent book club? *NM* Tom - 10/02/2010 03:18:44 AM 404 Views
The intent has always been to encourage people to hold and lead discussions. Jacob - 10/02/2010 04:29:23 PM 868 Views
I think Greg and I are 95% solid on our list. Tom - 10/02/2010 04:33:12 PM 888 Views
I am fine with whatever order you guys choose. Jacob - 10/02/2010 06:25:31 PM 898 Views
I'm happy now. *NM* Tashmere - 10/02/2010 08:15:07 PM 403 Views
Amen. Rebekah - 10/02/2010 06:36:49 PM 827 Views
Lol. I figured it was put off for at least a month to let things cool down. *NM* everynametaken - 10/02/2010 12:32:05 AM 417 Views
Let what cool down? The earth's core? Hell, perhaps? *NM* Tom - 10/02/2010 03:19:24 AM 355 Views
No. Just no. *NM* UrsaMajor - 10/02/2010 12:41:51 AM 383 Views
How about the три мушкетёра? everynametaken - 10/02/2010 05:32:55 AM 733 Views
Wouldn't that be French? Camilla - 10/02/2010 12:21:50 PM 774 Views
Да The Shrike - 10/02/2010 01:38:36 PM 706 Views
Yes. Королева Марго is French, too. *NM* Tom - 10/02/2010 01:53:41 PM 374 Views
La reine Margot? *NM* Camilla - 10/02/2010 03:18:23 PM 347 Views
Oui. Tom - 10/02/2010 04:34:25 PM 702 Views
I nominate The Road by Cormac McCarthy! Milla - 10/02/2010 04:55:24 PM 934 Views
Yeah...uh...I think post this has turned into the inception of the Russian book club. *NM* Tom - 10/02/2010 05:55:06 PM 332 Views
Lol... I'll be back once we go west again... *NM* Milla - 10/02/2010 07:11:53 PM 545 Views
What do you have against Russian books? *NM* Tom - 10/02/2010 08:19:16 PM 360 Views
I don't have any, and I only nominated The Road because I had read it... Milla - 10/02/2010 08:33:57 PM 1107 Views
Well I went ahead and ordered Doctor Zhivago and another The Master and Margarita Larry - 13/02/2010 12:13:15 AM 855 Views
