Your most-read novel

[pennimania]

Maugham - awesome - but very hard going. Not to read, but to internalize. Perhaps it cuts me too close?

Yes - it's very harsh.


I once saw it described as the best description of human loneliness ever written.

About right imo.

Good description. It always leaves me feeling hollow. (shiver)

Cat Baloo - 51 posts in over 9 years. That's a feat.

I don't post much because I am busy re-reading all those books

Lonesome Dove - Larry McMurtry

probably read it every couple of years

I *heart* this book

Sorry for old post resurrection, but i'm shortly going to start on this, and am quite looking forward to it.

Is it a western in the true violent sense, or a family saga set in the frontier?

I'm not a rereader, generally. There's too many unread books out there to waste time on rereading.
I do want to reread Wolf Hall, mind....

I've read all of Dostoevksy at least twice, but I must have read Devils about 20 times. It's a genuinely prophetic text.
