Book # 42, USA by John Dos Passos
Fiction
Classic
My Review on the book's home page: James T. Farrell, with Studs Lonigan, and Sherwood Anderson, with Winesburg, Ohio, executed this story better than does Dos Passos. ... ... DAY
(Don't know if I'll be around tomorrow for the actual fourth, so...)
This is why I started the month with USA. ... though. As you can see, I liked the Atkinson book a great deal.
ABW, I am reading all three volumes in succession for USA. I have only just read the two page prolouge to the first volume and it really grabbed me. Looking forward to more of it. ... TBR stack for July on the profile page; I hope it's not to much to bite off for one month of reading. I am starting with USA. I've been looking at that one on myshelf for a long time and am eager to get to it. It follows the generation who lived through WWI into the roaring 20's.

War and Peace, Lord of the Rings, Don Quixote, Gone with the Wind, Les Miserables, Infinite Jest, U.S.A., Cryptonomicon, Suitable Boy and The Taebek Mountains (the last one which apparently no one has ever seen). Any others?
I thought I was going to add Moby Di ... ... on the list are over 1000, I think. Cryptonomicon is around 1000 pages. Infinite Jest is over 1000.
Edited to add U.S.A, which is kind of cheating, since it's a trilogy. ...
For a (very worthwhile) challenge, I suggest the USA trilogy by John Dos Passos ... their usually found in one volume: U.S.A: I. The 42nd parallel. II. Nineteen nineteen. III. The big money.
The setting is the U.S. in the 1930s and covers a lot of different viewpoints. ... is to many a vaguely 'Yiddish' writer because he wrote about East-European Jewry in Yiddish, and also emigrated to the USA 3) a distinction that is part contemporary, part historical - for ex., now that the Czech Republic is such a prominent entity, a Czech (and many others) would tell ...
