how come no one has voted for 'The Unbearable Lightness of Being' by Milan Kundera?
It amazes me how much I've read of these first 96 books. I couldn't begin to tell you which was my favorite-- except that I love Anna Karenina.
Tina wrote: "Lolita was written in English."Yes but it was written by a Russian author.
Yes, and the title and description for this list say "written in languages other than English."
The Kite Runner was first written in English. Should be deleted.
Ben wrote: "The Kite Runner was first written in English. Should be deleted."Right you are Ben and same goes for A Thousand Splendid Suns but I don't know how to delete the incorrect entries :(
I can delete for you; want do you want to go?
Susanna wrote: "I can delete for you; want do you want to go?"The Kite Runner, A Thousand Splendid Suns and Lolita should go. Thanks!
No problem. ;>
Checked for duplicates: 13 books removed.
Removed The Secret Magdalene because it was originally written in English.Duplicates check removed 1 book.
Does Lisa See (Snow Flower and the Secret Fan is on p.2) write in English or Chinese?
Subtitle: "Fiction or non-fiction books written in languages other than English."
Ikra wrote: "how come no one has voted for 'The Unbearable Lightness of Being' by Milan Kundera?"Be my guest.... I only have 100 votes and there are just so many books to choose from.
The Girl Who Played with Fire is listed twice, #141 #249.
#585 Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was written in English. As was #658 The Pelican Brief.
In the Time of the Butterflies by Julia Alvarez was first written in English.
