Stewart I was hoping you would suggest somethingI was thinking of trying Doctor Glas in the summer whenI have more time.
Now that would be a great title to do.
How about Emily Bronte -Wuthering Heights or
Harriet Beecher Stowe-Uncle Toms Cabin (yes, I have both)
Women writers, yes! How about Elizabeth Gaskell, Cranford (the current TV series doesn't do it justice) or North and South?
The Samurai Banner of Furin Kazan by Yasushi Inoue sounds interesting as well.Yasushi Inoue-the hunting Rifle
A Japanese writer.The two of his books i read were historical fiction(on about Gengis Khan),One was made a film by Kurosawa.
Thanks, I found a hardback copy on Amazon for 7.00 USD.the Blue Wolf but i think it's out of print-it would be very hard to get for most(worst than The First circle)a pity.
How about Emily Bronte -Wuthering Heights or
Harriet Beecher Stowe-Uncle Toms Cabin (yes, I have both)
Also interesting choices by women would be:
Autobiography of a Geisha by Sayo Masuda This is a far more gritty and realistic portrait of the geisha life that was most moving.
A Woman in Berlin by Anonymous An account of eight weeks after Berlin was taken by the Allies, taking place in the Soviet Sector. Realistic, fascinating.
Imperial Woman or The Good Earth by Pearl Buck Classics in their own right.
Plus three of them would leave European environs behind.
Oh, those all sound good, too. I did read the Good Earth and I really enjoyed it, so many books so little time
how about Doctor Glasfor October?
That sounds very interesting.
I also have an unread copy of Uncle Toms Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe on the shelf. Ready to go when you are.
It has been done in previous years. There's a thread, which really needs updating, in which all Book Of The Month threads are listed by month.How about A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens in December?
Robert, if it doesn't get picked for BOTM we will make our own thread and talk about it!
I'm always happy to have a chance to talk about Harriet Beecher Stowe, in this thread or elsewhere.
