I loved the Great Gatsby. It was my favorite Robert Redford movie as well.AussieReaper wrote:

To Kill a Mocking Bird. As much as my 5 different literary analysis essays attempted to ruin that book for me, it cannot be done. Then Catch 22, then Of Mice and Men. Gatsby is good, but if you find Grapes of Wrath take a shit on it on it and then throw it in a pile of gunpowder with a lit fuse.

Anyway, if you want it in Switzerland I think it's really hard to find and I think you have to sign something too.
What does he say in his Kampf anyway?

You two are cracked. That was one of the most horrid pieces of tripe ever published. It was like fingernails on a chalkboard for the duration of the entire book.Macbeth wrote:

That would be my personal Gitmo...locked in a cell with that fucking book. And eurotrash techno pumped in the loudspeakers.

Currently reading the Road by Cormac McCarthy. Pretty good so far, he has an amazing knack for describing scenes in a minimalist sort of way.
The road is in my list of favorite books. Sitting at number 3 behind Pillars of the Earth and Da Vinci Code. HOW COULD YOU LIKE GRAPES OF WRATH YOU RIDICULOUSLY BLAND MAN!?!?!?!? It got good 9/10 of the way through and then the book ended.
you have Da Vinci Code as a top 3. Your input is invalid.
I like Steinbeck. Ridiculously redundant at times, but captures the setting really well.

Actually a couple of more recent works there that you should look into, Cam (not The Da Vinci Code): Pillars of the Earth (or its sequel World Without End)by Follett and The Road by McCarthy. Both outstanding--I think I made a comment about both in the D&ST Book Club thread previously.

I've gotta say Moby Dick has been one of the greatest books I've ever read.
I never really got his music...much less why you would want to see that. You crazy Aussies!AussieReaper wrote:

Went for Of Mice & Men. Nice and short, nearly done! I'll go Mocking Bird next.
PS Grapes of Wrath is a great book.
