Writers and other artists of 20 century which in your opinion will be remembered

Alla:

I will take a look at those, thank you.

> Finnegan's Wake is much more of a read to enjoy book.

Alla:

And the writing style in Finnegan's wake is more accessible as well?


Shawn:
> Huxley - A Brave New World, definitely.
> 
> Forrester - any of the Hornblowers.
> 
> Buchan - The Thirty-Nine Steps is his classic, and the one I consider 
> the best read.
> 
> Coward - more a playwright than anything else (but so was Shakespeare, 
> for the most part - his poetry though significant is not where his great 
> reputation comes from) and it's basically whatever you can manage to see.


Alla:

Will take a look at these, but when you said Hornblowers, I remembered that of course I have read Forrester. I managed one book and abandoned him, so very boring I found his writing to be and I did love the story mind you, I read the book because I enjoyed the movies at all, so I guess I disagree about him being remembered for a long time.

Thanks Shawn for adding to my long To Be Read list :)
