Would like to mention that Last of the Mohicans was actually by James Fenimore Cooper. I mention this for two reasons: I live in Cooper territory (near Cooperstown, in fact, though the town is now better known for baseball than Cooper himself). But the better reason to mention this is that Mark Tw ...

... Donati also known as Rosina Lippi who is a Library Thing Author. It is a historical novel with a character from the last of the Mohicans and it has a strong, feisty feminist heroine. This makes 85.

... As a purely decorative touch, gilding all 3 sides has always struck me as a little ostentatious, and my Easton Press Last of the Mohicans is displaying signs of the gilt flaking off on the outside edges--the ones that get handled the most when you read. In short, I like gilt or dyed ...

If you take Last of the Mohicans in a spirit of hokey-ness, they you may enjoy it. Knowing that Cooper was utterly serious makes it even funnier.

The Last Battle by C.S. Lewis The Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper The Final Solution by Michael Chabon Endgame by Samuel Beckett Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (How ironic -- there's no touchstone for the last one!)

... or the early bits of Brideshead Revisited (which then shifts to someplace like Castle Howard, of course...). The Last of the Mohicans needs to be read at Cooper's Cave in Glens Falls, and at Fort William Henry in Lake George Village. To read Rupert Brooke, you ideally should ...

... European models). Both these writers have been filmed regularly, although in Cooper's case they only ever seem to film Last of the Mohicans. Later 19th century US novelists such as James, Wharton & Crane have also been well-served by the cinema: but for some reason have been (largely) ...

I snagged Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper, One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and Soiled Doves by Anne Seagraves for FOUR DOLLARS at the thrift store!

... move The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings to the top of your respective piles. You'll be glad if you do. Never mind The Last of the Mohicans It's only worth reading for literary historical purposes; if you're not working on a Ph.D. in American lit, forget it.

... once. At least one has leapt on Russell's more recent work. The discussion did not run out of steam. We discussed The Last of the Mohicans in January. We have The Folding Cliffs by W.S. Merwin coming up. In March we're discussing a crummy little narrative called Leaving Mother ...

... but it was probably some Outlander site that had given me that impression. Now, I don't feel like I have to read The Last of the Mohicans first to read your book! Good to know, thanks for the tip! :)

... The Pioneers, which is one of the novels in the Leatherstocking Tales by James Fenimore Cooper. So it's not a sequel to The Last of the Mohicans. An early reviewer called it a sequel and so lots of people seem to have that idea. Some of the characters, settings, themes are carried over, ...

... of the characters in it. I have it on my list, but I've been putting if off, is it really that good? I also want to read Last of the Mohicans, I hear that is key to reading it too beforehand. I hear the main character is sort of like an Elizabeth Bennet fromPride and Prejudice transplanted ...

I'm pretty sure mine is either Last of the Mohicans or The Hobbit. They haven't been on my list that long, less than a year, I'm pretty good about getting around to books to read. I've never read anything by either authors, but I've always wanted to and by God! This is the year I'm going to ...

... I read Into the Wilderness earlier this year and enjoyed it. I remember hearing/being told the book ties in with the The Last of the Mohicans but I never knew if there were overlapping characters, or if the subject matter was merely similar.

I'm planning on reading Into the Wilderness after I read Last of the Mohicans which is on my list. It's a sequel to it, isn't it?

... brace my understanding. They will be going to bed with me in a few minutes to be started. On the fiction side, I have The Last of the Mohicans to read before the first Wednesday in January. I bring it up in this group because I have New Essays on the Last of the Mohicans to read with it. ...

Interested in what you think about Last of the Mohicans. I read it as a kid and as an adult. I liked it both times but for completely different reasons.

I don't like giving up on books, and the only book I've given up on in the last year or two was The Last of the Mohicans. I got about 60% through it, but the endless Boy's Own bushwhacking, crafty woodsmen, silent Indians and fey women ground me down. It was just a great big zero on character, ...

... sanctimony makes me want to puke. Louise Gluck is the most boring modern poet I've read. I gave up on Last of the Mohicans half way through, and I almost never do that. In defence of The Catcher in the Rye, an unlikeable protagonist / narrator doesn't make it an ...

... anniversary of 1757: I'm from the Mohawk Valley, so many of these events (e.g., The Last of the Mohicans - which is subtitled "A Novel of 1757") are local history for me. The authors of some interesting books on the 18th Century in general and the S ...

Possible retirement location. Any suggestions? Do The Deerslayer and The Last of the Mohicans qualify as being in the blue line? It seems to me Natty and Mingo had a famous fight at Glens Falls. What is the blue line?

... "great" (yet another loaded term). As for the piece referring to Said, I'm not so sure how to take it. If reading the The Last of the Mohicans is supposed to be indicative of Native American culture, I'd pretty much say that this is balderdash... That seems about as valid as saying that ...

The Last of the Mohicans was great. I really enjoyed it too AJWyrm.

I just finished Pinocchio which was definitely interesting, and now I'm really enjoying The Last of the Mohicans.

... Dick with a BABY" !! (That baby is now working on her PhD in English, but NOT in American Lit.) When you get around to The Last of the Mohicans, be sure to read Mark Twain's hilarious essay on "Fenimore Cooper's Literary Offenses". He was talking about The Deerslayer, but it's ...

I'm gonna have to second the inclusion of The Last of the Mohicans in this thread. Plus I'll throw in The Deerslayer for good measure. There have been many classics that I have not enjoyed overall but at least I could argue that "technically" they were well-written and the authors had some ...

... school, and also read The Grapes of Wrath in my freshman college English class. I ended up reading the Cliff's notes for Last of the Mohicans. Granted, they are all great works, but, like you said, the language is so archaic, and it's so hard to relate to most of them, that I don't find them " ...
