Welcome to Litsy!

The 1900s were not kind at all. I've only read 5 but I did recognize quite a lot of them.

1. 1984 - I read this book in high school. I didn‘t really like it.
2. The Catcher In The Rye - This book was okay but I didn‘t really care for it.
3. Lord Of The Flies - I didn‘t like this book when I read it.
4. The Lord Of The Rings - I really enjoyed reading the books and watching the movies. I read the books first and then watched the movies. I liked The Hobbit too. The best part is that it‘s a finished book series.

Abysmal. Hemingway and high school assignments were four of the five. Lord of the Flies is disturbing, but is one of my favorites from this list. (So disturbing). Fun fact - I have been grumbling at most of these lists because The Quiet American is the only Graham Greene they usually list and it isn‘t the one I‘ve read. Only, I just checked The StoryGraph and apparently I read it in 2021 and just didn‘t like it. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 #tlt #threelistthursday

I totally let this slip my mind yesterday. 🐿🧠

Anyhow.... I still did the same as the two previous weeks. Dismal is what I would call it.

My favorite book by far on this list is LOTR. I also liked I, Robot and Foundation both by Isaac Asimov. I will be rereading Foundation this month for #ClassicLSFBC

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

I S.U.C.K.! For the first time, I actually counted how many books I actually recognized: only 28/100! That means I have never even heard of 72 of them! 😱 Of the nine I actually read, here are three faves:
1. THE LONG GOOD-BYE: love Philip Marlowe and Chandler.
2. THE GO-BETWEEN: beautifully written, reminded me of ATONEMENT (though this one came first).
3. THE LORD OF THE RINGS. #ofcourse

My 3 I want to read are Transit by Anna Seghers, The man who loved children by Christina Stead and The big sleep by Chandler

Only 13 out of 100 (sigh). But better than last week. 😆
I'm tagging 1984 because I thought it would be on the list but wasn't.

I did almost the same as last week. I believe I had a score of 14 last week, and this week it is 13. More than half the books I read on the list was required reading in school.

My favorite was The Hobbit.

I'm so late today so if you want to play consider yourself tagged.
