75. Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe. 1001. This classic slipped by me in high school and I'm glad I finally read it so many years later. Sentimental, disjointed at times, nonetheless it paints a vivid picture of slavery and life during the 1850's.

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe On the Road by Jack Kerouac The Island of Dr. Moreau by H.G. Wells World's End by T. Coraghessan Boyle

... do the people who are playing not read? Or have we finally exhausted all the books everyone's read from the list? Surely Uncle Tom's Cabin then?

Halfway through Uncle Tom's Cabin, which I found heavy for the first third or so but the pace has picked up and I'm well into it now. Also just finished A Modest Proposal or otherwise known as "What to Cook for Dinner Tonight, Dear". Wonderful if slightly revolting.

I've just added to my library a Polish version of Uncle Tom's Cabin - Chata Wuja Toma, ISBN 8310083106 - and I see that it is combined with the original English edition. The problem is that this Polish book is not a "normal" translation. Although the action, places, people and events are the same ...

... and many of them I simply didn't like--by extension, I couldn't make myself care about them. If I hadn't recently read Uncle Tom's Cabin, I could hypothesize that it was the subject or the times that didn't connect, but it wasn't. Stowe's work was engaging, and her characters felt real, ...

... reason I like hardcovers is that they're easier to read -- the letters and lines seem less crowded. When I finally read Uncle Tom's Cabin a few years ago, I picked a more expensive edition because of its more-readable font. I've put aside several of Julia Cameron's books because their ...

... an actor. The book inspired me to get my Dad's high school copy of Go Tell It On The Mountain and to start searching for Uncle Tom's Cabin, neither of which is particularly easy to find here.

I have a stack of those, but I got recent encouragement. I finally got around to picking up Uncle Tom's Cabin (one I felt I should have read, but haven't, and finally got ready to wade through), and then I loved it. I've got a loose resolution to read at least three or four more books like that ...

... but it ended up being engaging and wonderfully written, not to mention thought-provoking. Close second would be Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin.

Uncle Tom's Cabin did, or so they say.

Review for Uncle Tom's Cabin posted. I realized also I didn't really mention a goal before. I suppose I'll go with fifty--I don't read as much as I used to now that I teach fulltime, but considering how much I read in the summer, it's probably possible. If there's a hitch, it'll be if I end ...

2. Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe Back in high school, I got it in my head that this was one of those classics I had to read some day, but I only picked it up when I started studying for the GRE Subject Test. I didn't get to read much of it then since I was trying to skim and ...

... know the work, but oddly, in looking for it, apparently a lot of people have written about parallels/related themes between Uncle Tom's Cabin and _Black Beauty_ (won't let me touchstone). I'm not sure I wanna think about this any further. My brain hurts.

... said was worse. I fully agree with all those who nominated The Scarlet Letter. One I haven't seen on this list is Uncle Tom's Cabin. Now of course it's historically significant, but the writing is terrible!! It's melodramatic, trite, and felt sooooo long. It must be at least 30,000 ...

I found Uncle Tom's Cabin on audio, read by Buck Shirmer, and while it seems like perhaps an odd choice for audio, Mr. Shirmer reads it beautifully, and the particularly preachy sections seem to go by faster in audio than trying to read it. I listened to a very well-read version of Animal Farm ...

... pious, weakly character who always feels like a sacrificial lamb. Helen, in Jane Eyre is one of these and so is Eva from Uncle Tom's Cabin. I'm sure this must have been a staple archetype for Victorian literature, but it does get old after you read a few of them. Recommended? Yes. < ...
