Subject: RE: BS: Books you regret reading once
Rapaire,
I'd have to disagree with you on Gormengast, not because the plot is riveting (it's not) but I just like the world created in the trilogy, especially the tree growing out of the roof.
Glass Bead Game - totally disagree. Again, it's not the plot of lack thereof, it's the world and the atmosphere created.
Is the Snow White one about a girl in a glass coffin? Weird! It may not be the same book.
Sinsull, I totally agree about the Horse Whisperer. What a cop-out ending.
Stephen King's Dolores Claiborne, movie & book. One of my favourites. Stephen King's blood & guts books/movies, forget it. Green Mile & Shawshand Redemption movies, excellent!
I once read a couple of pages of Henry James. One sentence went for a page and a half. Huh??
