I need to know if this "501 must read books" contain the novels themselves or does it just contain the list along with a review?<br /><br />Thanks so much.<br />I'll wait for your reply here.

They all repeat each other and very few differences, so this one is nice and refreshing.<br /><br />I'll have to come back and go through it later and maybe even pick up some more reading ideas (like I need more...)<br /><br />There's nothing wrong with being a book whore ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5876856913364698535.post-87146421363109100452010-09-30T10:07:16.265+10:002010-09-30T10:07:16.265+10:00Wow this is the perfect list for book club!

On a qu...Wow, quite the list you've got there! On a quick read I think I've read more than I would have expected - will have to do a count and compare.<br /><br />Immediate reaction to a couple:<br /> - why Sense and Sensibility? I would go with Pride and Prejudice or Persuasion (or even Northanger Abbey actually - that's such a hoot!)<br /> - Why do we have Charlotte and Emily Bronte but no Anne? Confess that I haven't read her myself but am about to start - surely they can't both be that much better than her?<br /> - SO glad Neuromancer is there!<br /><br />Am sure I'll have much more to wonder about when I've processed this properly...must admit that by the time I got to the end I was forgetting what was at the start (am itching to reorder it alphabetically by author...then again by title...yes, I know, I'm odd).<br />I do love lists like this - all the 'why this, why that, where's the other?' discussion they create is endlessly fascinating and often results in some marvelous recommendations.<br />What's everyone's top pick for the one that was missed??lianakayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16447072162315990190noreply@blogger.com
