Other Book Suggestions

In addition to In Cold Blood here are some possibilities that I have gathered:
  • Ulysses
  • Peyton Place
  • Silent Spring
  • Tropic of Cancer or Tropic of Capricorn
  • Slaughterhouse-Five
  • The Magnificent Ambersons
  • Humboldt's Gift
  • The Awakening
  • Fear of Flying
  • Gravity's Rainbow
  • One Hundred Years of Solitude

Any particular thoughts about these? Has there not been a book that you wish someone would push you to read? We could be that collective someone?

I've been dying to read One Hundred Years of Solitude forever. It's one of those books that sits in the bookcase for "retirement." Yeah, right.
However, I'd do In Cold Blood just to get that male colleague of yours to join in. I probably read it back in the day too but would come to it differently now - especially after having seen the movie Capote.

I would jump in for In Cold Blood, Tropic of Cancer or Gravity's Rainbow.
I could also get behind Slaughterhouse 5 as I've wanted to re-read that for a few years now.
