If mods would allow such, maybe you (Valka) can take the thread (start it) if you are also to do the considerable work to create that list?It would be nice to list the previous ones, though... helpful, and you'd start a new tradition!![]()

What do you think, @Arakhor ? (I'd be fine with it)
I recently acquired The Calvin and Hobbes Tenth Anniversary Book at a bargain store and it's nice to see Mr. Watterson's writings and his comments on his own work.
Le Carre is one of the greats, but yeah, he doesn't write 007-style action-espionage. I admire his writing more than I like it, exactly. His books don't exactly breeze by, for me.I finished Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy yesterday. Not as much action as probably I thought of a spy novel – really a lot of interviewing and reminiscing – but this is the first le Carré novel I've read so really I don't know what I was expecting. It felt anticlimatic in the end, but I did enjoy how all the pieces fit together. Some parts were confusing, but otherwise very engaging and I read for long stretches at a time.
Maybe the next new book to me will be The Great Gatsby. It's sitting on my desk right now, a version published by the China Translation and Publishing Corporation for some reason...
For the n-nth time, it's not a cockroach :S
The being Gregor gets metamorphosed to has tens of legs. That alone would make the description untenable. Then again, Kafka himself describes it partly as a beetle.
