50 books to read before you die discussion

Hello,
I've been out of it for a few weeks. Is there a group selection for Sept/Oct?
C

Catch-22.

Yeah I've been away too so I hadn't been around to get the voting going, maybe we can get it together in time to start something in oct. For now it's catch-22.

I'm reading the count of monte cristo and struggling a bit. I'm 60% through and want to get it finished asap. I have enjoyed parts of it but to me there are too many characters to keep track of, maybe I'm just a philistine but I won't let it beat me I'm almost half way through the 50 books so the pages will just keep turning. Anyone else enjoyed this?

Hi Everybody.... I'm just trying to figure it out what I should be reading.............before I die.

I got a rather lovely steel bookmark from WHSmiths for about £4.00. It has them all listed. That's what started me off, I'm about half way through. Goodluck.
