What shall I say to
Describe my thoughts on this book?
Best classic I've read.
Haiku #2
I literally
Read it in one and a half
hours: cried and laughed.
If you haven't read this book, I suggest you remedy that as soon as possible. Although, of course, everyone has different tastes on what is the best kind of book. :)

1. I'll preorder any MUTTS book by Patrick McDonnell. When the COMPLETE SERIES of PEANUTS books were being published (they only released 2 a year for a total of 26 volumes between 2004-2016), I always had the next one on preorder.
2. I rarely preorder because my reading style is so mercurial. Except for the books mentioned in #1, I can't recall a time when I've pre-ordered.
All are welcome to play! 🤩
I own an edition of this book and have used it as a checklist for more than a decade and i still didn't recognize all the books on the list. 😂
It's not necessarily we're not “well-read“ but rather a specific effort was made to create an international list so, for example, it includes classics from Scandinavian countries that are not well-known elsewhere.
Three books I don't remember reading:
The Roots of Heaven
The Guiltless
Death Sentence
