Top reads lads, thanks.👍 One Hundred Years of Solitude is a great read. The first line of the book reads thus: "Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendia was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice." Well why wouldn't Daniel read a book about Emi's Grandad? 😉 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Herman 9,695 Posted April 18, 2021 My mate was talking about it just the other day and he put it down as one of the most complex novels he's read. I struggle with Lee Child at the moment so I'll put it on the "classics I'm not likely to read" list.😀 I wonder what language Daniel read it in? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

'Magic realism' isn't it?Something like that. For a really weird read Borges takes some beating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am not a fan of magic realism generally (strikes me as a lazy way to achieve startling effects) but I enjoyed One Hundred... without wanting to read any others. At least with most journalists now our cunning long-term plan, and the need for it, have become understood and accepted. There was - and this is quite true - a very good piece in the Mail (possibly Adam Shergold) several weeks ago. And Henry Winter has always had a soft spot for the club.

Funnily enough there hasn't been that much criticism, from our fans, of "the project" this season. Maybe they have now finally figured out what it was and is achieving.

paddycanary 538 Posted April 18, 2021 For a fantastic read, and not too taxing on the brain, give 'One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich' by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn a rattle. He somehow elicits some positivity out of the Gulag system - a story of life's small victories. A brilliant book. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And if you want to read something even better than 'One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich' then read 'Cancer Ward' also by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's been on my "to read" list for about 10 years! Still haven't gotten round to it. Just finished "The Body" by Bill Bryson, fantastic book, particularly if you enjoyed "A Short History of Nearly Everything." And I'm almost finished "Word Perfect" by Susie Dent, another peach of a book, full of little nuggets! Love Susie Dent. Both books were requested & delivered in December, and two winners!
