But I admit that I don't think I would read 1984 for pleasure. <BR/><BR/>100 Years of Solitude is beautiful and worthwhile. It was a little slow -- one of those you just have to let flow over you (to quote William Hurt in The Big Chill).<BR/><BR/>Possession and Atonement were pure entertainment for me. I loved them both. <BR/><BR/>Enjoy!

I hate when I go to the library to pick up my holds and find out that they're all really serious literary works. It makes it hard to choose one. Good luck making a selection though!

I can't seem to settle on anything! Good luck! Wish I could make some recommendations, but I haven't read a single one of those books. I started several of them when I was in similar slumps, but I haven't yet finished them.Andihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05220718933942181809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21582709.post-13433375289903677262008-08-13T07:03:00.000+01:002008-08-13T07:03:00.000+01:00That's a seriously heavy pile of reading!

The only one I've read off that list is Nineteen Eighty Four and I hated every minute of it. :) Sometimes what we should read, and what we'd rather be reading are two totally different things. I'm doing a great family epic/<A HREF="http://www.bearanyburden.com/" REL="nofollow">espionage thriller</A> right now called Bear Any Burden that's a great read with lots of history and a plot with enough twists and turns to keep you guessing til the end.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15996662643984783625noreply@blogger.com
