If Tomorrow Comes by Sidney Sheldon Don't Stop the Carnival by Herman Wouk If You Dare by Kresley Cole Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less by Jeffrey Archer Don't Look Down by Jennifer Crusie

Oh, I forgot - Book No. 96 - Marjorie Morningstar by Herman Wouk - A so-so soap opera-ish kind of book. Waaay too long. Got to really not liking Marjorie and just about everybody else well before the end. The object of her great love affair was a pompous poop far too in love with himself ...

... always left us hanging almost unable to stand not hearing their adventures until the next day. Also my great aunt gave me Marjorie Morningstar by Hermann Wouk. I was 14 and boy-oh-boy was I amazed! THAT kind of stuff was in books? I read everything I could get my hands on after that and ...

I think Marjorie Morningstar may be the Wouk novel you are referring to Cliff, the coming of age in NYC book. I read The Caine Mutiny and enjoyed it quite a bit, but I was a young whippersnapper at the time and wouldn't have known style from dog poop. It's one of those I have fond memories ...

... to "big works." Any one got a clue why? I fall for it myself. Speaking of huge books like Shogun, has anyone read Herman Wouk, especially War and Remembrance and The Winds of War? Does Wouk fall into the no-style commercial hack?

... and her coming of age. Interestingly, the last book, Ella of All-of-a-Kind Family, is essentially the story of Marjorie Morningstar, but written for children and set a decade or two earlier. With both of these books being fictionalized accounts of the authors' sisters, it makes me ...

... II. Wishing myself one with Holden Caulfield in Catcher in the Rye and vowing never to become Marjorie in Herman Wouk's Marjorie Morningstar

... I was 250 pages in and the Big War hadn't even started! Glacial, pretentious, and lame. Like some bad imitation of Herman Wouk. Gave up and dropped it off at the nearest Goodwill. On the upside, I bought it at a used bookstore. Circle of life or some junk.

Message 64: Creole54 -- I still have my original copies of Gone With the Wind (paperback no less!),Black Beauty, Marjorie Morningstar (my all-time favorite), and several Anne of Green Gables books. I would never replace them -- I like the fact that they are old, not-too-ratty, and well-love ...

... I can think of many, many books that I was turned on to first in their condensed form: Seven Days in May; Herman Wouk's Marjorie Morningstar and The Caine Mutiny; a personal favorite, Richard Powell's Pioneer, Go Home; and even To Kill a Mockingbird. I sought out the uncut versions of ...
