What book are you reading right now? - Page 109

Coralaisly · 03-18-2012, 12:04 PM

Alternating between The Picture of Dorian Gray (Oscar Wilde)... I have no idea why I haven't read this yet. I totally would. And Grimm's Fairy Tales (If you don't know who Grimm's Fairy Tales is written by, we can't be friends). When I'm not in the mood for those, I go back to rereading Gone With the Wind (Margret Mitchell), my favorite book to date for reasons I'm unable to explain.

Ian McEwan

I'm hooked.

**teraczy** · 03-28-2012, 09:24 AM

I fell asleep to the last, few tragic lines of The Jew of Malta last night. And I'm wishing that Christopher Marlowe wasn't murdered in a barfight so he could have written more and also, so that Shakespeare hadn't taken over his fame.

**Selene** · 03-28-2012, 09:39 AM

Finally found my old copy of the Movable Feast by Hemingway so I'm re-reading. Perfect prose never gets old.

The knife came down, missing him by inches, and he took off.

Good choice.

"Clevinger really thought he was right, but Yossarian had proof, because strangers he didn't know shot at him with cannons every time he flew up into the air to drop bombs on them, and it wasn't funny at all.”
It's just said that my librarian put this book in section with Den Brown and Stephenie Meyer...

**BellaBianca** · 03-29-2012, 08:03 AM

Ernest Hemingway, For Whom the Bell Tolls.

Excellent choice,I would recommend also The Sun Also Rises by Hemingway (even though all of his work is a masterpiece)

Did thee feel the earth move?

That line originated from the bad boy of literature. Impressed upon me that Hemingway is one of the best romance novelists I've read. The exchange between Robert Jordan and Maria in the forest was beautifully written.

I think Closing Time ruined the beauty of Yossarian's legacy. Would've much preferred if he simply escaped, and the rest of his fate is left to everyone's imagination.

I don't think I will read the sequel,at least for now. I would like to enjoy this ending for now.
I see you read Hemingway thoroughly,what's your favourite ?
