Suggestions: May 2009 Book of the Month

[Robert]

Discussion for February 2009 BOTM starts here.



I’ll start it off by suggesting

Doctor Faustus by Thomas Mann
Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky
The Book of Evidence by John Banville

 

[Anamnesis]

I'm nominating The Monk by Matthew Lewis again.

 

[joderu95]

The Fixer - Bernard Malamud

 

[saliotthomas]

The Automatic Millionaire by David Bach


What?

 

[saliotthomas]

Something By Kazuo Ishiguro would be interesting.
A nice discussion it would bring.

 

[Anamnesis]

Anything but Never Let Me Go will be fine. I rarely return books I hate back to the store. This was one book I actually brought back.

 

[Robert]

Something By Kazuo Ishiguro would be interesting.
A nice discussion it would bring.

I should have known that you would toss a name in the hat that I have to look up.

 

[Robert]

Bernard Cornwell seems to have some fans on the site, we'll have to consider reading one of his works in the near future.

^^:lol:

Very nice suggestions ,all of them.

 

[Robert]

Something By Kazuo Ishiguro would be interesting.
A nice discussion it would bring.

The Remains of the Day sound good.

 

[beer good]

I would second Ishiguro - I've been meaning to read Remains of the Day or Never Let Me Go for ages.

 

[Libra]

An Artist of the Floating World sounds good also.

And The Fixer - Bernard Malamud.

 

[Stewart]

On the Ishiguro front, a discussion of his book in May may have other benefits, as his new book, of five stories, Nocturnes, comes out then, so anyone searching for info on it may find the forum.

The Fixer - Bernard Malamud

I second Mulamud.
