Do we have the full list of who was supposed to recommend for who? Can we find out who hasn't received a recommendation yet and maybe those people (myself included) could recommend to each other?

You're welcome brk_3! I am so happy that you enjoyed it. Sadly, I still have not received my suggestions... :sad:

Sure did. Gotta admit that I thought considering the subject matter, it was a little boring. I think it needed more anecdotes... Just my 2 cents...!

Me either :sad:

9 for me... Vernon God Little by DBC Pierre Life of Pi by Yann Martel True History of the Kelly Gang by Peter Carey The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood Disgrace by J.M. Coetzee Amsterdam by Ian McEwan The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy Paddy Clark Ha Ha Ha by Roddy Doyle...

Recommendations sent to brk_3.... Eagerly awaiting my recommendations! Thanks Spark for getting Round 2 moving. :)

Woohoo! Thanks Spark!

I thought new matches would be the way to go...

Any updates on Round 2?

I'm definitely interested in Round 2!

Sorry for my delay in posting... I finished The Good Earth back in September and I am glad that Dele recommended it. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it's study of relationships especially of marital relationships and also the relationship between the protagonist (a farmer) and the "good earth"...

Dele recommended The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck. I started this novel today and have read about 50 pages and I am really enjoying it. I feel an immediate connection with the main characters and am slightly nervous about the prospect of bad things that may befall them...

:blush: thanks Joderu, I'm glad you liked it. Was the first book that I can ever remember making me get a bit "misty eyed". Incredible strength of character - I constantly felt like reaching between the pages and shaking her parents.

Firstly, great idea for a thread! My five: 1) The Road - Cormac McCarthy 2) Fight Club - Chuck Palahniuk 3) Life Of Pi - Yann Martel 4) American Psycho - Bret Easton Ellis 5) The Book Thief - Markus Zusak

Oh dear! Sorry Joderu.

I had read my first recommendation. Just waiting on Adele to send me another recommendation. Hint, hint... ;) Also wondering if joderu95 is happy with the book I recommended to her.

... Like a Jimbow scorned? Classic first post. I'm guessing that Jimbow won't become a regular despite his obvious entertainment value for other members...

I have sent my recommendation and received my recommendation. Just a quick note of thank you to Sparkchaser for getting this up and running.
