56: I loved The Red and the Black. I have not gotten to the Waterloo section of Les Miz yet.

Hi Renee, You know, I have been thinking about our collective, let's say, "dislike", of The Red and the Black, and it seems like a lot of other people really love it. Do you think it was just us? I don't think so, but could it be? I read somewhere, probably here on LT, that it's a favorite ...

94> Actually, my next one wasn't better. I'm not sure anybody in classics book group finished The Red and the Black by Stendhal, and I'm not sure I'm going to do so. The consensus was that "it sucked." Ohmigod, a WHOLE chapter about holding hands and probable and actual reactions and perceptions ...

9. The Red and the Black by Stendhal I gave up!! Finally, after 2 years of trying, I just can't stand it anymore. A shame, but I don't quite understand the context and, although the translation appears good, it is awfully dull. I never quite know whether to trust a translator in this respect, I ...

The Red and the Black by Stendhal read many years ago

... were fairly short reads. Don't under why this book was on the list: The Red Queen A hard slog to finish: The Red and The Black. Didn't hate it just found it boring.

I'm almost finished with Cry, The Beloved Country by Alan Paton. After that, I've got The Red and the Black standing by. I hope it will last me 3 weeks in Africa because I don't have room to pack anything else...

31. Red by Ted Dekker Dekker's "Red" continues a trilogy begun in "Black" intended to be classic thriller, scifi other-world story, and an allegory for the Christian story of the fall through redemption. Red is better than Black, which was already pretty good, and the allegorical elements ...

The Red and the Black by Stendhal
