I'd say a good booklist is hard to find.Okie Book Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00011163462551105694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508594323182473801.post-19779842530701777192009-07-02T06:53:24.298-07:002009-07-02T06:53:24.298-07:00Gah, yeah, I've read Things Fall Apart and I d...Gah, yeah, I've read <i>Things Fall Apart</i> and I did not feel the love.<br /><br />You can not trust a list that has Ayelet Waldman on it. Others have done what she has done a lot better and earlier.<br /><br />I've read 3 and 1/3, so I guess I'm the winner! (So far--I'm sure you've got readers who have read more.) <i>Things Fall Apart</i>, <i>A Good Man Is Hard to Find</i>, <i>Frankenstein</i> (do I get extra points for teaching it?), and <i>Huckleberry Finn</i>. I think I was supposed to read <i>The Bear</i> and I believe I started but didn't finish it (that Faulkner class kind of gets fuzzy at the end of the semester, and I know I kind of skimmed those last couple of books).Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17638733919500583943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508594323182473801.post-2214513957455845582009-07-02T04:06:38.945-07:002009-07-02T04:06:38.945-07:00Yep, the list's compilers are high.

I have to say that #47, <i>Things Fall Apart</i>, is one of the very worst books I've ever had to read. It wasn't intended as a pro-colonial book, but in the end when thing finally do fall apart, and the missionaries come to finish off the native society, I'm happy to see it destroyed. I doubt that's what is intended.The Punknoreply@blogger.com
