If we want a book that will last more than one month and is both long and deep and raises several interesting issues, then may I suggest Daniel Deronda by George Eliot.
In the light of a couple of suggestions raised by people here (Tyler wants dark... Glynis wants thought-provoking) - I suggest "Darwin's Bastards" - it was mentioned on Q (on CBC.. anyone?) and it sounded interesting. It's a collection of dystopian short stories by a bunch of Canadian authors.
I will be gone for a couple months... so something long and deep would be fantastic.
ReplyDeleteBut as far as suggestions I am not much help.
Are we sticking with fiction?
I'm back in Canada, so the book world is more literally at my fingertips. I'm open to basically anything.
ReplyDeleteDid you ever think that maybe we're the same person - like a polkaroo kind of situation?
ReplyDeleteOne person goes out of the country and the other comes back?
You mean I missed polkaroo again? Aw shucks!
my vote is anything involving zombies. i've seen them. but i've never read them.
ReplyDeleteI vote we stick with fiction.

ReplyDeleteI liked the sound of it.
Any thoughts?
Also, I'm going to read "The Constant Gardner" while in India.
ReplyDeleteFirst: I love CBC.
ReplyDeleteSecond: sounds good. I love short stories.
