We have just voted in the UK for what we think as a nation are the greatest novels of all time, and 9 of them are by Americans!!
No cheating but any guesses which ones they were???

I don't know about the UK, but I like Gone With The Wind. I read it at least once a year.

Pretty incredible that The Stand was picked but Huck Finn wasn't. Mind you, I thought The Stand was quite brilliant!
So far you've got:
Wind, Catcher, Grapes,Gatsby,Women, Road,Stand,
4 left to guess!

Umhmmmmm. Yes that's interesting. stephen king says it's a miracle that book ever got written - he was drinking heavily.....That - and literature's history in America shows me exactly how it got written - LOLOL! and yep, The Stand was good. Both editions.....
Salinger - I was gonna put him there - but for sentimental (and plus i jus hadda cheat ;D) could not omit Edgar.
Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Scarlett Letter" - we can't forget that one!!!!!!!
Fun thred Wendi ;D
