#172 - it's been years since I read Schindler's Ark, but he writes a fiction around the real events, keeping as close to the truth as possible. I just picked up his latest The People's Train, which is also fiction, based on a true story around the time of Lenin and the Russian Revolution.

I picked up Shindler's List by Thomas Keneally a week ago so I'm glad that you're endorsing it as a good read.

#139: My first thought on hearing Schindler's Ark was as in Noah and the . . ., but you are probably more in the ballpark on that one, Rachael. I will be interested in seeing your thoughts on Searching for Schindler when you get a chance to read it. It looks like one I would probably enjoy. ...

I'll formally add Schindler's Ark, the 1982 Booker Prize winner, to my wish list. Stasia, do you get eye strain or fatigue when you read a PC screen for a long time? If I'm on the computer continuously for more than a couple of hours, then try to read a book, magazine or newspaper, especially ...

Hi Sher You read two outstanding books back to back! Your review of Schindler's List is great! I've added the book to my tbr pile. I finished The Wednesday Wars today. It is an incredible book, destined to be one of my top favorites. And, hang in there, you are very close to ...

Just received Schindler's Ark and the remaining 3 novels of the Alexandria Quartet. The Schindler is very good, with splendid, eerie illustrations.

Me too, about Hawksmoor, only I have enjoyed other works of Ackroyd's. And I've read Keneally's book, US copies are Schindler's List usually. How about Ashes and Diamonds by Jerzy Andrezejewski?

Yes (didn't much love it) - Let's go for Schindler's Ark.

... ... That's sort of the whole point of the novel. That's like complaining Titanic had a tragic ending. Or that Schindler's List was "too Jewy." Or things didn't wrap up in the end of Crying of Lot 49 It's a criticism, but I don't see it as a valid criticism.

Yeah, the publishers should have pushed for an "up" ending. I wonder what that reviewer thinks of Schindler's List? That's like complaining that Samuel Beckett is too bleak or that Rabelais is too vulgar. Where has this person been the last few years? Cormac McCarthy is pretty bleak ...

... remember it), The Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. I was also considering Schindlers Ark and The Yiddish Policeman's Union. Michael Chabon will be at the our local Jewish Book Festival, so I'd like to read as much by him as possible!

I MIGHT have read Schindler's List (or Schindler's Ark as it is also known as. Does that count enough?? I have definitely NOT read Emma though

>159 Sean, you're dead right about Schindler's List. I did finish it, but the writing style is difficult and does the story no favours.

I was about 15 pages into Schindler's List years ago, I think it's the only book I've put down. I've been meaning to get back to it but haven't yet. I felt the writing was weirdly antiquated and difficult. Maybe it was just my frame of mind at the time... Anyone else have any opinion on the ...

The Diary of Anne Frank comes to mind, as well as Schindler's Ark. My favourite though would be Catch 22.

I can't believe it, I got scammed! I'm so cross. My nice little Schindler's Ark went to someone who just Mooched to the max and then closed the account. I'm so sad! I know I got the points and a +1 feedback after the account was closed - but it was going to Ghana and I was all excited ...

Just finished Searching for Schindler and would recommend it to anyone who read Schindler's List (Ark), or who saw the movie. Fascinating background of how Thomas Keneally came across the story, how the novel developed, and how the film came about.

Later this evening I am going to remedy a sad situation: I have never seen Schindler's List. Right now I am watching a 3 hour movie about the Chicago civil war. Oh, you didn't know there was a clash between the north and south in the Windy City? It's going on live right now - Cubs vs. White Sox ...

Strangely enough, one of the few unread books on my shelves is Schindler's List. It was a present several Christmasses ago and I've never got around to reading it, apart from a brief skim through the first few pages.

... thought it was nonfiction. Thanks for the clarification. By the way, it seems that 64 (!) other LT members think that Schindler's List is nonfiction because that is how they have this book tagged. They also have it tagged biography (38 times) and memoir (4 times).

>14 - Schindler's List is a work of fiction based on factual events. It is published as a novel. How else could it have won the Booker Prize?

--> 13 Schindler's List is not fiction, but a very good read nonetheless. I found the book hard to get into, but the audio version simply captivating. Another nonfiction,The Pianist by Wladyslaw Szpilman, is also definitely worthwhile reading. For The Pianist, though, I'd suggest ...

When I was a youth pastor I showed Schindler's List to the youth group, so that they could see that evil exists in the world. I got the parent's permission first, and most were pleased that SOMEONE was willing to teach them about the holocaust.
