#tuesdaytunes @TieDyeDude

Since posting the Rolling Stone's Top 500 Songs of All Time surveys for #TLT, I started listening to song 500 on 8/1, and am working my way downward to #1. Today's was #488 (day 13), “House of Balloons“ by The Weeknd. Definitely different! P.S. I can now officially say I have listened to the first and last song by Kanye West. I barely made it through. 😂

TieDyeDude The Weeknd is an excellent artist; I'm constantly impressed by his work. 4mo
tpixie Interesting project!!! Are they on Spotify as a list? Or are you just using the list and searching for the songs? 4mo
dabbe @tpixie I created a Spotify playlist to go with #TLT. The first song listed is actually #500 on RS's list. We're working our way down to #1.
Here's the link if you're interested: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5MabJCLMyvcBHHT0zSUHdJ

The sailor trod over the glittering glass
A-dazzle with jags of red
And came to a man leaning over a wall
With a shadow above his head.

"Can you tell me the nearest First Aid Post"
The sailor said to the man,
But the lounging figure made no reply
For the back of his head was gone.

The sailor wiped the sweat from his face
And he laughed in a hapless way,
"O Christ! little fish" he said to the babe
"This isn't no place to stay"

vivastory I really need to read Peake 😬 2y
Bookwomble @vivastory He's one of my absolute favouritest authors, so I think you really need to read him also, but that's not an objective recommendation 😏 2y
vivastory I've had the Gormenghast books for awhile. They look fantastic! I don't know if you saw, but Backlisted recently had an episode on them. 2y

Bookwomble @vivastory They're fantastically rich novels. There was talk of Neil Gaiman adapting them for one of the streaming services, he being a big fan of Peake, though what stage it's at, or even if it's still going ahead, I'm not sure. I don't listen to Backlisted, though I do keep getting directed to it. Maybe next time I have a big pile of ironing to get through! 2y
Graywacke @vivastory noting Backlisted on Peake! I haven‘t read Peak, and I haven‘t listen to the podcast in a long time. But this is great motivation. 2y
vivastory @Graywacke Although I don't listen to every episode, they're one of my favorite podcasts. 2y
Graywacke @vivastory i really enjoy them. I just don‘t do podcasts much. Usually too busy trying to get through the next audiobook. (Although lately i need mindless. I‘m working through the Rolling Stone Magazine top 500 albums, starting at #500, of course.) 2y
vivastory @Graywacke That sounds like a fun project! I should take a look at the list. I listen to A LOT of Spotify bc of my job and am always looking for albums to add to my library (new & old) 2y

This would have been a much better read if the “why” made more sense. It‘s like the main character had nothing better to do and just decided to get to involved in life threatening situations. Pretty decently paced and the plot moved along but after awhile I was just over him and the story. This is the 1st in a series; also a debut book for the author. #LitsyByTheNumbers #500

Who else revisited Winnie the Pooh and Friends? Audibles free gift for #worldbookday was my #500 Read since I joined Goodreads in July 2013. I was off again on again until I joined 2015 Reading Challenge. Nothing like seeing your #stats add up to motivate you. 🤓

My first milestone! It‘s a small one, but thanks to all my new Litsy friends for helping me get to 500 Litfluence already!!
So what‘s your fav book with #500 or more pages??

Mine is Polgara the Sorceress by David Eddings. I have others that are more well known or of ‘higher literary value‘, but I have read this multiple times and it makes me feel good! 😊

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Thank you for the tag!!! Not new but I love it!! Mine is 7y
Librarybelle Congratulations on your milestone, and that is a great question! I‘ve read so many good 500+ page books, but the first two that popped into my mind were Gone With the Wind and Outlander. 7y
keys_on_fire @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks - I will have to check that out! I tagged you because you read different things than me so I figured I‘d get a great recommendation! Thank you! 7y

Though I love royals, I was intimidated by the size of this library book until I realized nearly 200 of its pages are notes and index. I can do it! #longreads #500+

Lcsmcat And it's so worth it! 8y
