Welcome to the (book) club!The SAGE Social Science Journals crew has started a groundbreaking new book club. As our subhead mentions, we'll be "reading it," as well as discussing it, "it" meaning whichever book happens to have been chosen from the hat that month, possibly more often.
Maybe we'll all update this thing, or maybe we won't, but all I know is that the resident Naysayer of Things said he'd join if someone started such a blog. It's gonna be good, but you don't have to take my word for it!
I can fly twice as high:
ReplyDeleteThe Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson
A game of Thrones by George R martin
The Razor's Edge by W. Somerset Maugham
The stand by Stephen King, always wanted to read it
Under the Banner of Heaven: A Story of Violent Faith by Jon Krakauer
I'm working on narrowing the following list:
ReplyDeleteRoger Kahn, The Boys of Summer
Alexandre Dumas, The Vicomte de Bragelonne
Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations
Procopius, The Secret History
Guy de Maupassant, A Life or Short Stories
Joseph Conrad, Lord Jim
William Faulkner, The Sound and the Fury
Federico García Lorca, Poems
Luis de Camões, Lusiads
Something by Fernando Pessoa, whether prose or poetry

I am so excited! Woo hoo book club!!
