Little Pixie Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 (edited) And the 2014 Mighty Tome Challenge ! I`m not necessarily aiming to read all 12 books, but I`d like to make a fair dent in the list. Some of them are books to dip in and out of during the year ; most are books which I bought ages ago. Don DeLillo - Underworld The Cambridge Guide to English Lit Alan Bennett - Untold Stories Tara Road - Maeve Binchy Truman Capote - A Capote Reader CP Snow - Strangers and Brothers ( 4 novel series ) Tom Wolfe - Bonfire of the Vanities The Complete Saki MM Kaye - Tradewind Edited December 20, 2013 by Little Pixie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian. Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I am determined to read a few tomes in 2014 myself. I'd be very interested in what you think of Underworld should you get round to reading it. I hear consistently good things about it but when I read White Noise by DeLillo I was left unimpressed so that put me off a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dipped into the first few pages and, for some reason, have been reminded of Arthur Miller`s work. I`m not sure if it`s the rhythm of the words or the storyline.

Kidsmum Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 That's a huge list you've got there Pixie I notice you have Orchard On Fire Sheena McKay on your TBR list, i'm getting that for Christmas, i think i heard about it on a book programme & added it to my wishlist.I also have Brideheads Revisited & Scoop Evelyn Waugh to read, i've not read any of Waugh's books before so looking forward to trying those. I've read & enjoyed Case Histories Kate Atkinson & The Greengage Summer Rumer Godden , both brilliant reads. Also i see you have quite a few Bernard Cornwell's, i love the Sharpe series & just finished reading 1356 which i thought was really good so i hope you enjoy him too. Happy reading in 2014 Pixie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julie Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) Pixie That is one impressive pile of books you have there ! W O W I'll be interested in hearing how you like the stories in The Capote Reader . I've read a few but not nearly all . I've checked it out at the library a few times . Need to look for it on Kindle, as it may get read sooner if I have it on there . Isabel Allende is a magical writer Fried Green Tomatoes Alias Grace Power of One are all 3 great ! I won't even try to go through your entire list. That is one whopper of a pile of books ! Good luck in 2014 !!!

Marie H Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Wow, there are some excellent TBR piles . I have some Allende, Waugh, Homer and Ha Jin in my TBR lists. In your 2014 Mighty Tome Challenge - Saki is wickedly delicious, and I like to dip in every now and then, mostly in the short stories. Hope you have a good reading year !

Athena Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I think your Mighty Tome challenge sounds good! I hope you can read lots of mighty tomes ! I don't know most of the books on the list, how many pages do they have (roughly)? Just curious what you would consider a mighty tome .

Happy reading in 2014 Pixie Thank you ! Good to have your opinions ; it makes me want to get to the book faster if someone else recommends it. I haven`t read any of the Sharpe books, though I have them in the house and watched the series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More recommended books to get to faster ; I think the Alias Grace book may be one of the books I`ve had the longest in my TBR list, possible because it was stuck away on a bookshelf with perfume, ornaments and a toy rabbit in front of it. I was completely blown away when I read Capote`s A Christmas Memory and rushed to get the collected works ; then the reading stalled. Did you see the film Infamous , about those killings ? I haven`t seen the other film they made about him, but the one I saw was excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Pixie Posted December 21, 2013 Author Share Posted December 21, 2013 Great lists ! I hope 2014 will be a great reading year for you . Thank you ! Oh, and I think the Mighty Tomes are around 700-900 pages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Pixie Posted December 21, 2013 Author Share Posted December 21, 2013 Oh, and I`m also planning to keep a running total on money spent on books in 2014 ; perhaps that will make me pay a bit more attention to the books I have available instead of getting newbies. Then again... Perhaps not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

julie Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Pixie No ,sadly, I'm not much of a movie viewer ,so I haven't seen anything by or about Truman on tv or at the movies . The only exception is The Grass Harp, which I saw as a tv movie several years ago. It was beautiful and followed the book exactly . I need to get a few more books about his life,, etc . He was quite a character . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
