[QUOTE="legro, post: 1125284, member: 584"] Thanks JonnyP, good one! Restricting to 4 an irritation, but from experience even 10 does not work for me. Will reluctantly stay with prose fiction. Just to get two already mentioned books out of the way: Catch-22 - as a kid thought it the funniest book ever. Only later on realised that there was rather more to the " funny ". The Bible - a book many/ most of us grew up with and which easily transcends whatever you may think or believe about its content and message. Anyway; ( Apologies for the trilogy in here, but it is one book.) Nibelungenlied Samuel Beckett - The Beckett Trilogy ( Molloy, Malone Dies, The Unnamable ). Beckett, for me even more than Joyce, shows what can be done with the English language. Cormac McCarthy - Blood Meridian Franz Kafka - The Trial [/QUOTE]
