Wherein We Elect Our Favourite Novels of 1938

Scoop by Evelyn Waugh -- love it At his most Johnny Ramone, and something to offend everyone (but also frustration with so many people being fucked with by Big Media and Gov, not that he isn't emotionally old school)

Scoop! is the only Evelyn Waugh I've really enjoyed and that's where my vote is going and I've probably read most of the obvious ones on this list. It's hard not to vote for Brighton Rock, though.

My dad has been trying to get me to read Scoop! since I was a kid, but I still haven't made it more than a few pages in. Voted Rebecca.

lol i was given scoop by my journalist aunt and uncle 30+ years ago and still have yet to read it

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Tempted to vote Daumal but probably going with Rebecca.

I've see the film of Young man With a Horn with Kirk Douglas not sure if it sticks to teh book much even if it's set in teh original era.

& I know I read Nausea in my teens and Brighton Rock somewhere along the way as well as seeing the films.

Young Man With A Horn the film has a lesbian subtext with Lauren Bacall iirc

Out Of The Silent Planet by C.S. Lewis -- terrible piece of shit

honestly how can you say that when the covers were so good

The only three I've read are Murphy, Nausea, and Out of the Silent Planet, all of which I liked pretty well when I read them.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

A note for 1939. The Christie with the offensive title is the most notable one. All of John Dickson Carr's novels were minor.

Thanks, will keep that in mind!

two Lost Cause apologists in here, I see -_-
