EVERYONE Has Read This but Me - The Catch-Up Book Club discussion

Zeljka wrote: "I nominate The Brothers Karamazov Dostoyevsky"

I second the Brothers Karamozov -
I have read Crime and Punishment twice and The Idiot once. Karamozov is my next challenge - Just know that it is a very long and difficult read - May need group support to stick with it!

Isti wrote: "I´ll nominate Lolita
and second:
Brave New World
Slaughterhouse-Five
and
The Grapes of Wrath"

I'll second Lolita- would love to read it again-such dark humor!

Laura wrote: "I nominate The Bell Jar

I second Flowers for Algernon"

I'll second The Bell Jar

Carolyn wrote: "Challenge accepted Marcos!

I nominate The Master and Margarita"

Oh, yes- I'll second The Master and Margarita - big fan of the Russian novelist.

Darren wrote: "I second Slaughterhouse-five and nominate The thirty-nine steps."

Wow- no seconds for The thirty-nine steps. I give it a second.

This one has been resting on my Kindle for a year, waiting for me to get around to it. Great old Alfred Hitchcock movie was based on this book.

I second The Hobbit

I will second 39 steps also

I second The Bell Jar, Flowers for Algernon, 39 Steps and possibly Lolita (I feel like I should read it, and doing it in a group is probably the only way I ever will, but don't know if I can stomach the content)

I haven't seen most of the sci-fi and fantasy books listed, so
I Second:

Flowers for Algernon
A Wrinkle in Time
A Wizard of Earthsea


(I also clarified my second for Slaughterhouse V earlier, as I don't think it was counted. }

I would like to second:
The Iliad,
A Wizard of Earthsea,
The Three Musketeers, and
A Wrinkle in Time.

I would like to nominate The Mysterious Island.

I second all Ursula K. Le Guin offerings suggested in her memory.

I also nominate The Island of Dr. Moreau by H.G. Wells

Very good secondings and nominations, Rowen and John.

A tip for new members I frequently post here: better no to nominate in the last week of the month. If you have a good idea for a book nomination, keep it until the beginning of the following month.

People always nominate more - and get more secondings - in the first two weeks. :-)

I will second Slaughterhouse 5 and Wizard of Earthsea

It should be counted now. My apologies.

I'll second The Mysterious Island...I never think of this Vernes.

Thank you, Marcos.
I willl definitely remember this next month :-)

Thanks. It wasn't your fault. I think all I said was the Vonegut book. I was too rushed to spell out the title I guess.

I second Little women, Three Musketeers, and Rebecca.

Jennifer, I counted you second for Little Women over on the re-read discussion thread. Just so you know I saw it :)

Definitely seconding The bell jar! Since it's also on my TBR Revival challenge!
