[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ones that have been mentioned that I agree with: The Nest The Circle Fates and Furies any and all Franzen Haven't seen mentioned yet but I despised: [b]The Sheltering Sky (Paul Bowles) [/b] The Sword of Shannara C (Tom McCarthy) Hull Zero Three (Greg Bear) How to be Both (Ali Smith) Disagree on A Little Life, I thought it was amazing (and, pp, the tortured main character's name is Jude, not Julian)[/quote] A pile of racist, mysogynist, classist, colonialist garbage, that also contains a few pretty paragraphs about sand dunes. Overrated precisely because of the insular and homogenous nature of the people tasked with making "best of" lists in the first half of the 20th century. A fantastic book and rightfully on most lists of the 100 best novels of all time[/quote][/quote]
