<p>^Proust, huh? You have my respect.</p>

<p>Moliere is great…read Le Misanthrope if you haven’t already. Did you buy this edition by any chance: [Amazon.com:</a> Le Misanthrope : The Misanthrope (Bilingual Edition - French and English) (French Edition) (9780685342398): Moliere: Books](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Misanthrope-Bilingual-French-English/dp/0685342395/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1295375813&sr=8-3]Amazon.com:”>http://www.amazon.com/Misanthrope-Bilingual-French-English/dp/0685342395/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1295375813&sr=8-3)</p>

<p>The English translation is top notch.</p>

362

<p>Even though I’ve read this book a few years ago, “Flowers for Algernon” will always be one of my favorite books.</p>

363

<p>^^ I actually got a Penguin Classics edition because it was there. Their translations are generally pretty decent I think (except for Proust - I think the Kilmartin edition is still the best). I’ve really wanted to get some experience with French drama for some time, actually. They were going to have a showing of Phaedre from New York in my hometown, but I was at school so I missed it, so at least now I can get some Moliere</p>

364

<p>^Shame you didn’t go; I’m sure you would have loved it. Moliere is definitely worth it, especially in the original.</p>

<p>Your location wouldn’t be a reference to something a Brown admissions officer said, would it? I remember him saying at an information session that… “We know that you have lots of applications to fill out. Just remember: Brown is spelled B-R-O-W-N; five letters. It is NOT spelled Y-A-L-E; four letters.”</p>

<p>but yeah, I’m definitely going to keep track of what’s going on at the Providence Performing Arts Center while I’m not home</p>

367

<p>What’s the best Sherlock Holmes novel? I know that Arthur Conan Doyle wrote several… I’m guessing The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes?</p>

368

<p>I love the Agatha Christie’s series.</p>

369

<p>Philip Marlowe is where it’s at, guys.</p>

370

<p>I have two responses:</p>

<p>You would, wouldn’t you</p>

<hr>

<p>I prefer Christopher Marlowe</p>

371

<p>I have one response:</p>

<p>You would, wouldn’t you</p>

<p>The Catcher in the Rye - J. D. Salinger
Don’t hate.</p>

375

<p>^I love it.
Haters be damned.</p>

<p>

Well, that’s the only one I’ve read (and it’s a compendium of stories, not a novel) but it’s fabulous.</p>

376

<p>Yup. I can’t get enough of Holden Caulfield and his red hunting cap.
Other books I like: The Glass Castle, Memoirs of a Geisha, and The Secret Garden (soo good).</p>

377

<p>I read Catcher. Loved it. But I always love every book; I guess it’s because my opinion is always generally based off of the ending (can’t help it) and endings are always the best part and endings are always good, no matter how crappy the “meat” of the book. Anyway. Has anyone read Atonement? Thoughts?</p>

378

<p>Loved the Catcher in the Rye also. Gone With the Wind is great as well, and The Kite Runner is good too.</p>

<p>@mickjagger - Atonement is a decent book. Personally, it wasn’t my type of book, but it was still very engaging. Not a fun read, but a thought-provoker, nonetheless, and very similar to the movie, minus the ending.</p>

379

<p>The Outsiders was definitely one of the best books I’ve ever read.</p>

380

<p>Yeah, I also enjoyed The Outsiders (also known as The Stranger). What made you, reach4thesky, like it so much?</p>
