so we got that one list of authors we should check out during out vacation.

we have to read a book and write about it and Graham Greene sounded pretty good ... :nice:

does anybody know his books and is there one you could recommend?

not read any Graham Greene. have this on my list of books to read at some point before I die.

End of the Affair - I think the film is pretty cool. would like to read the book, because 9 times out of 10 the book is always better than the film.

 

Which other authors were on your list?

there are tons of other authors ...

George Lord Byron

Miguel de Cervantes

James Fenimore Cooper

Daniel Defoe

Charles Dickens

Henry Fielding

Theodor Fontane

Johann Wolfgang von goehte

Guy de Maupassant

John Milton

Wilhelm Raabe

Joachim Ringelnatz

Walter Scott

Theodor Storm

Jonathan Swift

Carl Zuckmayer

just to name a few ...

i don't like all kinds of stories ... i wouldn't want to read anything by daniel defoe since i am not very into adventurous stuff.

thought about reading something by Guy de Maupassant because his stories seem to be pretty good and interesting (read a little on amazon).

Crikey!! Not much light reading in there!

 

There's plenty of authors on there who i intend reading at some point but I don't think I've read many yet. These are on my list:

 

Faust - Goethe

Last of the Mohicans - Cooper (Seen the film, bought the book but not got round to reading it yet)

 

Charles Dickens: I've read half of Great Expectations and thoroughly enjoyed what I did read. I put it down to go on holiday and never picked it up again. Will be re-reading at some point
