The Greatest Novel of the 20th Century

[thatpfunk]

I like OOT's literary kick.

OFOTCN is my vote. It is as close to the perfect novel as I have read.

Cuckoo's Nest is great. For the "important" novels, I'm going with The Plague (Camus).

For my fave, tho, it's Farewell, My Lovely (Chandler).

Just getting ready to read the Plague, heard good things about it. Also got Journal of the Plague Year by Defoe

OK, I'll change it to Great Gatsby.

No love for Great Gatsby huh? Maybe too American, but I really liked the characters in it.

Sidenote: the first time I read it, I missed Nick's homosexual scene.

Uggggggh.

That's not even the greatest novel turned into a movie with Robert Redford.

Anyway I'll agree with thatpfunk and go with Cuckoo's nest.

My sample size is tiny, but I love OFOTCN as well.
