Who's reading what?

Was Albert Camus a better goalkeeper than George Orwell? Have your say here.

Ha, I can imagine your audacious entrance! Why not indeed. I'm a big Kafka fan, yet I've never read Metamorphosis, I must remedy that.

It's a great story! And the opening sentence sticks in the mind, like Orwell's "It was a bright cold day in April and the clcoks were striking thirteen."

Cheers,

Just finished The Road by Cormac McCarthy. A tad too bleak for my tastes, but then it is a post-apocalyptic novel.
The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne.
