MicheleinPhilly 10 out of 14! Not too shabby! 1y
charl08 I'd say half were lucky guesses 😆 1y
CarolynM 7/14. I did well on the questions with an antipodean connection, otherwise truly terrible! 1y

Only thirty pages into my first Murdoch & I'm loving it!

Leftcoastzen Interesting ! I‘ve read her but not that one. 5y
Ruthiella I‘ve only read Under the Net but I want to try more. A Severed Head maybe next. I heard good things about it! 5y
readordierachel I'm so curious about her. I have an unread copy of Nuns and Soldiers but that's as far as I've gotten. Glad you're enjoying it! 5y

vivastory @readordierachel I have been meaning to read her for years. For some reason I thought she would be dry & she isn't! Im almost halfway through & it is a combination of the loneliness & desperation of Carson McCullers & Kent Haruf, mixed with the eccentric characters of Dickens & Willie Collins. 5y
vivastory @Leftcoastzen Do you have a favorite? 5y
vivastory @Ruthiella I have heard that's good. Also heard good things about 5y
readordierachel @vivastory That is a quite a cocktail of influences! Sounds fabulous. I may have to bump her up my tbr. 5y
Leftcoastzen Liked enchanter a bit better than 5y

Mehso-so

Too many characters, too little worked out, too many storylines, too many (sexual!) relationships. I certainly enjoyed reading it and am still a fan of the Murdoch style and humour, but the end left me wondering what exactly she wanted to tell with this novel. #1001books

merelybookish I recently revisited the list of 1001 novels to read before you die. And have added a few titles to my TBR. Are you trying to read them all? 7y
BarbaraBB @merelybookish Yes I have been reading this list for seven years now. I am about halfway through. It is a bit addictive 😉 7y
merelybookish I can see that! And the list is well beyond 1001 isn't it? Up to 1500 or so? 7y
BarbaraBB 1305... the first half is the easiest I think! 7y
