    Just because I want to read it anyway, and have heard so many good things about it:

    I wish to nominate "Fevre Dream" by George R.R. Martin.

    No, you can't, but you can nominate any book she did, or all of them - I think a special concession can be made for you in our Rules for this occasion.

    I would rather...


    Nevermind!


    Suffice it to say reading her name is painful enough. Her writing is one step BELOW Harlequin Romances.

    What about "The Once and Future King" by TH White?

    ( re-telling of the legend of King Arthur, based somewhat on Le Morte D'Arthur )
    The Man In Black Fled Across The Desert...

    ...And The Gunslinger Followed.

    I don't think anyone will vote for it but here you are: Flowers for Argernon by Daniel Keyes

    Roland would have understood.

    I know I haven't been in here much yet, but I'd third The Turn of the Screw.

    I also agree that it might be interesting to discuss The Great & Secret Show.

    No...don't think so, here. But, say, have you read The Minds of Billy Milligan?

    Can I nominate Catch-22 by Joseph Heller?


    I regret leaving my soul
    I forgot I needed it, to feel
    maybe when I die
    I'll just grab it real quick

    admited, it was 10 years ago (or possibly more) that i tried to read it, but from what i can remember it felt like the mental equivalent of banging my head against a brick wall.

    I shall give it another try because bears like it

    bears weren't really growling, they were purring in a questioning way

    Yes, I think you should try to reread it now! It's one of the best books ever, in bears' opinion
