I thought that was kinda bullshit - how is Dubliners a work that "only informs the Irish"? It's about life, death, love, parenthood, religion - and yet you'd like to suggest that the lifeless, antiquated collection of political satire that is The Divine Comedy is more humane and relatable? How droll, I laugh at you, sir.

it's these kinds of threads that prove how much I have a love/hate relationship with forums involving artistic criticism.
Anyways my favorite book is Sentimental Education

Assuming this is about fiction books, my fav is probably Fatherland by Robert Harris. I don't read many fiction books, really.

Favorite bio? Favorite true story? Favorite "piecing it together" story (ie Gavin Menzies' books)? Favorite story of book (ie Four Fish or Kurlansky's books)?

tbh most the stuff i read is history related. fav non fiction book would be a tie between Bob Stanley's Yeah Yeah Yeah: A History Of Pop and Martin Meredith's A State Of Africa.

My history teacher recommended Yeah Yeah Yeah but I didn't ever check it out, is it really that good?

It's fairly astounding, gives a pretty decent overview of all the main genres and trends in pop music from the 50's to the 90's I feel.
