I could really go for Silent Spring! Anyone else weighing in?

New Choices

When we were gathering ideas that eventually led to One Hundred Years I had some other thoughts. I have mentioned before that I never read my assignments in school so many of the classics passed me by. Additionally, I acknowledge, as I did with In Cold Blood, that some books on my list might have been read by some of you as popular fiction at the time of release. That said, here are my new ideas in no particular order:

• Ulysses by James Joyce
• Silent Spring by Rachel Carson (I'm very interested in her), obviously non-fiction
• Tropic of Cancer or Tropic of Capricorn by Henry Miller
• Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut
• Humboldt's Gift by Saul Bellow
• The Awakening by Kate Chopin
• Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon

I welcome other thoughts.

Post the List

Hi all, I'm back. It was an extremely "eventful" trip - between illness and theft. But I am nothing if not a good sport and still managed to have a fabulous time. Luckily we had all Canadians at our table on the cruise so we were able to have some VERY interesting political discussions!
So, I haven't blogged and am feeling a little disoriented today as I spent most of the day filling out forms for lost cards, license, etc. (not to mention deleting the 250 some emails that were totally irrelevant!)
Let's see your list Infobabe. I'm ready to try again.
