Guest Aldrich Mayoralgo Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 I really liked The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera. I liked how it's semi philosophical :-? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules Nielsen Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 I absolutely loved No Exit by Jean-Paul Sartre. And Harold Pinter's The Caretaker. I'm also passionate about Sylvia Plath's poetry, and some of Ted Hughes' poems. I also love Doll's House by Henrik Ibsen, and I learned to enjoy The Visit by Friedrich Durrenmatt. At first I didn't like Outsider by Camus, but I also learned to enjoy the themes of that book. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlotteW Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 I looooove "We" by Jewgenij Samjatin (granted I did read it in German). I just think it's such a misunderstood novel and deserves so much more credit. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Boys of Boston Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Haruki Murakami stories, they're pretty amazing. Me and my friends got kind of hooked up by The Elephant Vanishes stories and purchased 1Q84 to read afterwards. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

~feather~ Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 I also loved The Outsider by Albert Camus and Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. Master and Margarita by Michail Bulgakov was interesting to analyse as well. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JennIB12 Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 We read Robert Penn Warren's All the King's Men last year, and Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison. I thoroughly enjoyed both books! Dante's Inferno was the worst though. Gross. I'm looking forward to reading Wuthering Heights (again) in English this year! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
