No, only watched the film Gone with the wild. I dated a girl who loved both the novel and the film and once it was shown at the local theatre (once a month they do a classic movie night) well, to me the film was boring but as I had a romantic interest...

The Human Comedy is an absolutely huge series of books by Balzac, not the one you linked, I'm afraid (Balzac's series fits better with the endurance theme).

Wow. Interesting.. Link added to the original post. I find it strange that there's no mention of a link between the two works (title).

Nevertheless I think the William Saroyan book also fits the theme because they were all written or made popular in the early 1900s, and by American authors (except The Magic Mountain which was translated into English by an American lady in 1927).

This is pretty cool, and out of all that I haven't read Beyond this Horizon seems the most interesting.
 
I have not read any of them, particularly, The Human Comedy, which is tragic.
 
I never knew the names of the missions are named after books! Wonder what relation, if any, the content of these books have to missions.
 
I don't read, but didn't know GT7 was based on a book, thanks!
