The Book Meme (with a twist)

[tiger_iris]

Since everyone everywhere is doing it, I decided to give it a try. Inspired by vaysh11 's list, I've decided to compare lists from different countries, and here are my results with the British, German and French lists (please admire my procrastinative creativity!!!). I think the Bible is the only book to appear on the three lists, but some books appear on

This is the ultimate Book Meme. :)
So, Les Miserables seems to be on all. I have to read it one of these days. And I've never read Musil's Törleß, eitgher, but with your "dub con slash" I will. And you actually read "Die Suche nach der verlorenen Zeit"?! I am duly impressed. :D With 15 we were reading everything by Boris Vian. ;) And Fassbinder's movies must count, too, imho.

Yes Musil's Törless is a great book. And there's a good film too, by Volker Schlöndorff, but the book is darker and slashier :-)

Proust: yes. I tried once when I was 16 or 17, and I just couldn't. And a few years later, I had to read it, and I suddenly got into it. You have to read the books in chronological order, or you won't understand anything. And imho, if you want to enjoy it, you should read it for what it is at first (of course I'm well aware it is much more than that) : a series, with a lot of twists and innuendoes, but a very very slow story-building :-)

Fassbinder: I love him.
