“I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.”

“He chose The Metamorphosis over The Trial, he chose Bartleby over Moby-Dick, he chose A Simple Heart over Bouvard and Pecuchet, and A Christmas Carol over A Tale of Two Cities or The Pickwick Papers. What a sad paradox, thought Amalfitano. Now even bookish pharmacists are afraid to take on the great, imperfect, torrential works, books that blaze paths into the unknown. They choose the perfect exercises of the great masters. Or what amounts to the same thing: they want to watch the great masters spar, but they have no interest in real combat, when the great masters struggle against that something, that something that terrifies us all, that something that cows us and spurs us on, amid blood and mortal wounds and stench.”

Hi Nathan. No I haven't read everything, not by a long shot - there are loads of 'em! I'd strongly recommend The First Men In The Moon and The Invisible Man though if you haven't read them yet. His SF short stories are really good too and I also like The War In The Air. The Food Of The Gods was disappointing though, although it started well...

I haven't read Queer but I've read the others - all good choices I reckon! 1984's so depressing though... Have you read Coming Up For Air? That's probably my favourite Orwell and shows he could be funny too.
That's a toughie! At the moment, though, I'd say maybe "All The King's Men" by Robert Penn Warren, "Under The Volcano" by Malcolm Lowry, "Three Days Before The Shooting" by Ralph Ellison, "Silence" by Shusaku Endo and "Sometime A Great Notion" by Ken Kesey. You've got to tell me yours now!
