The Red and the Black? Interesting... Legolas Send a noteboard - 23/01/2024 05:24:57 PM

View original post3. The Red and the Black ~ Stendhal

The others on your list that I've read make sense to me... this one, I'm not sure I've ever seen listed on anybody's top ten. I've read it and didn't hate it, but it just didn't leave enough of an impression either way for me to even remember much about it... Care to elaborate on what exactly made it so good for you?

'favorite' vs 'best' book aerocontrols - 22/01/2024 02:17:12 PM 194 Views
I interpreted this to mean best books we've read Tom - 22/01/2024 02:59:20 PM 208 Views

And I greatly appreciated your adjective 'favorite'. The Shrike - 22/01/2024 07:37:31 PM 200 Views
I wasn't qualifying it based on quality, or else it never would have made an honorable mention Ghavrel - 23/01/2024 06:22:26 AM 195 Views
I haven't read Go Set a Watchman, but what I've heard was... bad. Is it actually good? Legolas - 23/01/2024 05:27:31 PM 182 Views
I loved it because it tore my childhood hero to shreds in a way that I needed to see. Ghavrel - 23/01/2024 08:34:54 PM 195 Views
I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that's why other people hated it, then. Legolas - 23/01/2024 09:23:53 PM 201 Views
You gotta read HARROW and NONA! Or Leckie's ANCILLARY JUSTICE. Ghavrel - 24/01/2024 04:36:57 AM 209 Views
I need to split fiction and non-fiction Tom - 22/01/2024 02:02:41 AM 238 Views

Cooper's DARK IS RISING and Jones' HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE would make my top 20 for sure. Ghavrel - 23/01/2024 06:26:38 AM 195 Views
And I just have to ask ... The Godfather the book??? Tom - 22/01/2024 02:07:12 AM 205 Views
Yeah you’re right. I shouldn’t have included it. *NM* damookster - 22/01/2024 02:12:09 AM 98 Views
Favorite Books. I too need to split between Fiction and Non-Fiction The Shrike - 22/01/2024 01:59:19 PM 227 Views
I loved SHOGUN so much as a teenager. No idea how it would hold up on a read today. Ghavrel - 23/01/2024 06:24:08 AM 182 Views
Same - and that also goes for Mists of Avalon. Even aside from the MZB ickiness. *NM* Legolas - 23/01/2024 05:29:02 PM 90 Views

All y'all are cheating by listing a series as one of your favorite books. LiterateDog - 25/01/2024 04:38:56 AM 204 Views
As I create my own list, I see I've made a mistake in my derision of the use of series. *NM* LiterateDog - 25/01/2024 05:04:43 AM 88 Views
