https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5535027924
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.

Six better than last week. This list is killing me! 🤣 For my 3 faves, I went to book noir: two Hammetts and one Chandler.
1. THE MALTESE FALCON: “And when you're slapped you'll take it and like it.”
2. THE BIG SLEEP: “You were dead, you were sleeping the big sleep, and you were not bothered by things like that.“
3. THE THIN MAN: “Nora: “How do you feel?“
Nick: “Terrible. I must've gone to bed sober.”

8/100 😭 😭 😂 😂
I don't think Peter Boxall and I share many literary pursuits, though *some* of the ones I haven't read are on #mounttbr
💙All Quiet on the Western Front was a “Whoa“ book for me.
💙Just remembering Pippi Longstocking gives me so much joy. I should re-read.
💙I do appreciate that these lists venture outside the usual canon.

I recommend these three books that I would not have read without this list:

The Bridge on the Drina
Chess Story
The Street of Crocodiles

#Bibliophile #ZInTitle I read this years ago and really liked it . Captures the culture of Germany between the Wars .Rainer Werner Fassbinder did a 15 hour film version of this book. This book was also in the list of titles in this week‘s #ThreeListThursday quiz. Franz is out of prison, trying to built a life , gangsters, petty thieves,unemployment lines,& other challenges stand in the way of his stability.

#TLT #ThreeListThursday should say 1900s actually.
I‘m surprised I am not a bit higher. Really read many around the WWI era.
Room with a View , Howards End EM Forster fantastic. I love James Joyce, you don‘t need to read Ulysses, read Portrait of An Artist as a Young Man, The Jungle , Great Gatsby of course. E E Cummings Enormous Room is an impressive book about the WWI era.

ABYSMAL. I never thought I‘d be grateful for The Great Gatsby, but at least it enabled me to check one box. Hemingway was another and I‘ve already forgotten the other two. I‘ve owned copies of three of the pictured books (two for 30 years!) and lost all desire to read them. The only one on the list I still want to read is Conrad‘s The Secret Agent. #tlt #threelistthursday You‘re killing me @dabbe 🤣😭🤣
