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. :smile:

 

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

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.

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. :smile:

That's a huge list you've got there Pixie  :D 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  :doowapstart:

 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   !!!

Wow, there are some excellent TBR piles  :smile: . 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 :bestw: !

Thank you ! :D

 

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. :smile:

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. :giggle2:

 

I was completely blown away when I read Capote`s A Christmas Memory and rushed to get the collected works ; then the reading stalled. :blush2: 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. :smile:

I`m planning to widen my reading this year and take on other people`s recommended books, so it`s great that I already have some to get started on. :smile:

 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 .

Was that the film with Piper Laurie ? It rings a very distant bell. :smile:
