I concur on the book karma front. Cal8769 gave me a copy of Night by Elie Wiesel. I have passed it on to a friend here in my hometown and gotten it back already. Now, I will pass it on to another and if I get it back, I'll post it here like TrishNYC did for her books. As I told Cal8769, I ...

Night by Elie Wiesel

... on vacation: Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris for Other Nonfiction Waiting by Ha Jin for Award Winners Night by Eli Wiesel for Other Countries Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro for Authors New to Me I need to try and stay on this pace to finish, because I am trying not ...

... a move that would serve him, since his memoirs of a life in the FBI were well written and enjoyable. Next up, Night by Elie Wiesel....thanks to Cal8679

I was working on Elie Wiesel's works page and noticed that over 2000 copies of the Oprah's Book Club Edition of Night had been separated from the other copies of that work. I wasn't aware of any differences between the editions, but considering the numbers involved (almost 6000 copies total), I ...

16.Night by Elie Wiesel

... by Megan Chance - full of suspense, loved the medium Michel 125. The Beach House by Jane Green 126. Night by Elie Wiesel

... then look up other books by that same author and see how many reviews they have... That wouldn't work for something like Night where the author is primarily known for one book, but you may be able to compare the number of reviews for East of Eden (85) against the number for The Grapes of Wr ...

Somebody is buying East of Eden and Anna Karenina when she recommends them. Night didn't hit the best seller list again last year for nothing. I have a friend who isn't a big reader. She does read anything by Stephen King and follows the Oprah book club. I consider myself to be ...

... recommended it!" What's the point of getting them there if they stay so narrow-minded? It isn't so easy to read Night, East of Eden or what have you and remain so narrow-minded. You're making it seem like since not every Oprah fan who reads Anna Karenina will read it and ...

... At least her book group does try to spice things up from time to time with stuff like East of Eden, Anna Karenina and Night. If Oprah's book club can bring people to Steinbeck, more power to her.

... it just to keep it's lessons fresh. The same year I first read The Chosen, I also read To Kill a Mockingbird, Night by Elie Weisel, The Color Purple, and All Quiet on the Western Front - All of which are staples in my library and my life.

Oooh, I know that one!!! Night by Elie Wiesel. :-D

... **** by Leo Tolstoy 06/04/08 And before he lost his mind... The Hot Kid ***½ by Elmore Leonard 06/04/08 Night **** by Elie Wiesel 06/05/08 The Secret Agent **½ By Joseph Conrad 06/06/08

Finished Night and my Tolstoy short stories/novellas. Halfway through a collection of Akitagawa stories which closes out my 7th category of the year. As long as I keep it light I may be able to polish off my Philosophy section this month. I also adjusted a few of my original categories with ...

I second the recommendation on Night by Elie Wiesel. I read it before it became one of Oprah's Book Club reads, which I tend to stay away from, but in this case, I would overlook the fact that it was one of those picks. The book is well worth the effort of reading.

Dracula by Bram Stoker The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara Twilight by Stephenie Meyer Night by Elie Wiesel Outlander Series by Diana Gabaldon

A spontaneous trip to Borders (dang that car, turning left into the parking lot) resulted in: Night by Elie Wiesel A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry Eating & Drinking in Italy by Andy Herbach My logic - the 1st two are classics and were on the buy one get one half ...

... MAUS series and while it was interesting, I just didn't think as a Holocaust memoir it came even close to Wiesel's NIGHT, Semprun's THE LONG VOYAGE or Levi's DROWNED AND THE SAVED. Just didn't have the same power and substance...

... great book that read more like a novel than a biography. On the sadder side of things I would also highly recommend Night, a holocaust memoir by Elie Wiesel or else Left to Tell or An Ordinary Man which are both about the Rwandan genocide - the latter is the autobiography of Paul Ruse ...

... Schindler's List The Color Purple Zlata's Diary Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl Catcher in the Rye Night Translator: A Tribesman's Memoir of Darfur seems like there might have been a few more...

The most recent one was Everything is Illuminated. The one I cried hardest in was Night. My husband was upstairs sleeping and he came down to see what was the matter. I had no idea I was making a sound but I’d apparently been sobbing.

Night by Elie Wiesel

... Down A Clash of Kings Storm of Swords The Audacity of Hope 1776 Howl's Moving Castle Coraline Night Becky ...fantasy, YA, nonfic, classics, romance - I have pretty eclectic tastes but all are highly recommended!

... Your Knees by Ann-Marie MacDonald Five Red Herrings by Dorothy L. Sayers Midaq Alley by Naguib Mahfouz Night by Elie Wiesel That Old Ace in the Hole by Annie Proulx The Mating Season by P.G. Wodehouse and even found a Virago, which will go to an LTer who ...

#68 -- What exactly is so hilarious about Wiesel's Night? (I know, you're referring to the Sedaris book. I couldn't resist, though.)

I think one of the key differences among the two is this: In Night we learn mostly about others - the brutality of the Nazis. In Man's Search for Meaning we learn an extraordinary principle about life: that the attitude we bring to our lives at every moment of every day is a matter of personal ...

I found Night an utterly horrifying read. It has also been indelibly impressed on my mind, while Man's Search for Meaning had less of an emotional impact on me. Curiously, therefore, I would almost do the reverse of the previous two posters. I would recommend Night to a wide range of ...

Night and Man's Search for Meaning Both books are memoirs written by young Jewish men who survived the horrors of Nazi concentration camps. Both books are short. Both books discuss the influence of their experience on their spiritual lives. Both books are excellent and must-reads ...

Night by Elie Wiesel

... Spyglass for fun. I'm reading Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban to my son. With my ninth graders I'm reading Night. And finally with my eleventh graders I'm reading Othello.

... calmly, "A U.S. state?" 3)A young girl came in the other day for a school paper. She said she'd just read a book called Night by Elie Wiesel, and she thought this holocaust thing was fascinating...did we have any more books about that? How about movies? 4)An older lady came in and ...

... but I haven't given my copy away yet. I just can't decide. There were a few others on the list that are keepers too like Night. The Girls by Lori Lansens was wonderful. Stuart Woods is a favorite for something light, and I also really enjoyed Beautiful Lies. It would have been ...

... four! I went to my TBR pile, the next book was Bridge to Terabithia. Er, no. No tear-jerkers. I was sobbing after Night. Next in my pile was The Haunting of Hill House. NO! Sheesh. No horror, either. I finally settled on a romance.

I read The Road by McCarthy then Night by Wiesel. Before I killed myself in despair, I started Secrets of a Summer Night by Kleypas. I think I'll need to read light and fluffy for rest of the year after reading those back to back.

elbakerone - I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed Night. When I was picking for you I checked out the reviews previously and figured you couldn't go wrong with that one. :) Unfortunatey I forgot to check my parent's library for the book before I moved so I'll have to wait to go back over Thanksgi ...

I just finished Night. Elie Wiesel completely amazed me. My review is here. I think I'm still in shock from reading it but thank you lilsin for picking it for me. If you're thinking of reading it, definitely ...

I promise Night is next. I just got it out of the library and it should only take me a few days to finish. Expect my review forthwith (uh...early next week?). In the meantime *again*, someone lent me Ghostwalk by Rebecca Stott and I had too much to say about it so that review is

I'm Night by Elie Wiesel. That can't be a good thing...

Yikes! I'm Night by Elie Wiesel.

I had to take a little pause before my assigned book Night because it's on hold at the library and I haven't gotten it yet. Meanwhile I read the very amazing and highly recommended A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini. If anyone's interested, my review of it is prophetandmistress in Book talk : Are you a book snob?? (Aug 8, 2007, 3:55pm)

#16 Feela -- I too would love to be surrounded by Oprah book club members. People who have read Anna Karenina, Night, 100 Years of Solitude, East of Eden, The Good Earth and who could forget the Summer of Faulkner collection. The Sound and the Fury is a very dense and depressing ...

... pile, I'd appreciate it. And not one of the longer books. ^.- Seems I get to choose for elbakerone now. How about Night by Elie Wiesel? If it's good, I'll get it in the original French and check it out myself.

... have told the jews of the 20s and 30s that their would be a holocaust - they wouldnt believe you. There is the story in Night about the madman who returns from the concentration camps and talks about people being murdered and no one believes him. I think a holocaust is possible anywhere, ...

... that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and that you must hold yourself to your own expectations and no one else's. Night by Elie Weisel told me that faith is disputable and sometime human nature overrules all. To Kill a Mockingbird taught me that life isn't always fair, but you ...

We talked about this in another thread. It's a question I've thought about a long time. I don't see why art should be politicized. But the themes of the past few centuries (or so) have been individualism, self-expression, and liberation, and these have been often more congenial to the left camp. ...

Someone just combined Night, Dawn, the Accident with Night. It's way, way too much work to separate combinations that can be done with one click. And now I don't know which trilogies include Night, Dawn and the Accident and which ones include Night, Dawn and Day.

Bookstore "organization" is loosely defined, at best. I'm still ticked about a trip to B&N to find Elie Wiesel's Night. It was stocked in several places, but not in any that I would think to look. I tried fiction - no luck. I tried history - nope. I saw a version on the Oprah table, but ...

I wouldn't even attempt to guess. Oh, heck, yes, I will. Elie Wiesel's Night Nikos Kazantzakis' The Last Temptation of Christ I think Truman Capote's In Cold Blood will be considered a classic, not because it's a great book in itself, but because it is the accepted ...
