James Mustich's 1000 Books to Read Before You Die discussion

Please nominate a Group Read for May...

The Valley of the Assassins by Freya Stark (1934), described by James Mustich as an Englishwoman among the nomads

I'll go with The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer by Siddhartha Mukherjee

Since we have some time on our hands: The Odyssey by Homer.

I'll go with Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov

The Noticer is not on the 1000 Books to Read before You Die list.

The Arabian Nights

It's on the list but it recommended by Steve, a reader, NOT Jim Mustich,

It's not on his checklist of 1000 Books to Read.

Oh! Ok, I have deleted my nomination.

Thank you Nadra for your nomination. I know it used to be only JM's list that was shown on that page. But it looks like it was changed at some point since I last was there. If in doubt, take a look at our bookshelf to doublecheck. I think they are all under 1000 books heading... well almost all.

Nominations end today

That was a really good book. I read the copy that put the 10 yr diary into 1 volume.
