CP LITERATURE DRAFT - (Rapid Fire Free For All Round)

[Iowa_Flames_Fan]

Nice pick. Out of curiosity, what did Modern Library say was first?

[RougeUnderoos]

Thanks. Ulysses was first.

Wow--goes to show how subjective those lists are! I would have ranked Gatsby ahead of Ulysses, and neither would have been first for me--though definitely top 25 or 50 or so.

Ulysses gets no where near my list of top literature. Personal preference. I read a very convincing article one time that Ulysses was actually just a giant practical joke played on the London literary establishment.

Maybe it was--but is that necessarily a bad thing? I'm not just playing devil's advocate; isn't part of being experimental thumbing your nose at the "literary establishment"?

[Ronald Pagan]

I agree Iowa, if anything it makes Ulysses better and more understandable.

I just get peeved off at lit students attempting to extract meaning from Ulysses.

I feel like Gary Bettman - another trade to announce:

Bobblehead trades Euro Lit to Jagger for History/Politics

and again,

Bobblehead trades Mass/Pulp to Jagger for Fantasy

Jagger has been busy:

Jagger trades Science and Religion/Philosophy to Ro for Mass/Pulp and Science Fiction

fixed

CIEN AÑOS DE SOLEDAD
(One Hundred Years of Solitude)
By Gabriel Garcia Marquez



The novel chronicles a family's struggle and the history of their fictional town, Macondo. Although the title hints that the story spans one hundred years, it is unclear exactly how much time the narrative covers, and most critics agree that it is more than one hundred years. This ambiguity contributes to the novel's treatment of Time, as there is a notion that time lapses, repeats, changes speeds, or stops altogether at different parts of the story, and that all the events happen simultaneously, in a way.

[sadora]

If anyone wants to trade their Food & Beverage category I'm willing to accept offers.

[RougeUnderoos]

Great pick. What an incredible book that is (once you can figure out all the names).

[troutman]

Please post your own trades - no need for me to do it.

[Eastern Girl]

Oh, ok, sorry.

Sadora will be taking one of my Food/Drink picks. I will be taking from Sadora, the Memoir/Biography pick.
