Tess of the D'Urbervilles

We.Russian science -fiction classic.Published in 1924.Influenced later works.1984 and Brave New World.

The Golden Ass.By Apuleius.The only Roman novel, found complete.Written circa,A.D. 158.Very funny book.

Slaughterhouse-Five.Man's inhumanity to man.Is a universal concept.It will last forever.

The Mysteries of Udolpho.

The sequel to Three Men in a Boat,Three Men on the Bummel.

They have,Renate.The count,tells how many times, you read a book.People should use it.

Just finished Silas Marner.

Kathy,tell me how you like the Monk.

Kathy,read The Monk...Starts slow but really picks up steam.Around a third of the way in.Has everything, all the crimes that can be committed!By a man.And women too.Gave it four stars.The Gothic Book....

I liked Tobias Smollett's translation of Don Quixote.An author who knows about writing.

A warning Kathy,Vathek is a very strange book.Some people didn't like it.I did.You can read my reviews of the first two books mentioned if you want.

I will,Kathy..It's one of the big four Gothic classics of 18th Century British Literature. Joining Vathek and The Castle of Otranto,which I've read.The Monk,that I'm reading now.Soon the last one, The Mysteries of Udolpho. I've all four at home.

Just started reading The Monk,a Gothic classic.

Just finished Dorian Gray .Strange but fascinating book...

Nana, first Zola book and so far so good.

Began The Good Earth also.Can't believe how good it is.Film is excellent too.

The Bridge of San Luis Rey.A poignant book....

Hi Mark,try The Great Gatsby.It's a very interesting book.Henry

Try Robinson Crusoe,Jennifer.I enjoyed it very much.This is a classic site,why not start at the beginning.Crusoe is the first English language novel in history,1719.If you like adventure, you'll like R.C....Henry.
