willaful 9. Fav is Lord of the Rings. I thought The Floating Opera was awful but I may have been too young for it. Want to read Brideshead Revisited and a Town Called Alice. 1w

dabbe @willaful The #hashtagbrigade will be reading BRIDESHEAD this September if you'd like to join us! I want to read that one, too. Thanks for playing and sharing. 💙📚💙 1w

shortsarahrose Read 6, have seen the movie for two others I haven‘t read (Zorba the Greek and Doctor Zhivago). I actually feel like I had heard of a decent amount and read more than previous lists, but I think we‘re in a time period that I know more about. LOTR is the favorite I‘ve read, though 1984 was also good. 1w

RaeLovesToRead I maintain that despite my consistently rubbish scores on these, I AM A WELL READ INDIVIDUAL 🤣🤣 1w

dabbe @suvata 🎯🩵🎯 You kicked my sorry butt! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💙📚💚 1w

dabbe @MonicaLoves2Read Same, well, sorta. 1st read of CATCHER was in high school; I taught it for years as a teacher, too. I was lucky enough to read 1984 my freshman year in college during the year 1984. Reagan was presdient, so we thought it jived pretty closely with the book. 🤩 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💙📚💚 1w

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I've read 7 of these. Favorites were LOTR, Bonjour Tristesse (more for the sense of place than story) , & Giovanni's Room. I've slowly been working through the short stories that comprise The Burning Plain, but it's not included in the total read. I disliked Zorba the Greek. I've heard of 41 of these, though I'd be hard pressed to tell you what they are about. I might explore some of these lists & add some to my TBR. It is a diverse list. 1w

dabbe @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Boy is it! You've given me more for the TBR, too. Thanks for playing and sharing. 💙📚💚 1w

Leniverse I've read 18 of these.
Favourites: Titus Groan (I really need to continue the trilogy), LOTR, and Go Tell it on the Mountain. But also The Mandarins and The Roots of Heaven. Sorry, have to go with all five! 1d

dabbe @Leniverse No need to be sorry ever! Thanks for sharing even more books! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💙📚💚 1d

Who Moved My Cheese? 2004 | Spencer Johnson

@Eggs
@Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Years ago, a new principal tried to ram this book down our throats. She even gave us pens shaped like cheese. Needless to say, the next year Matt and I moved to a new school. 🤩

TheBookHippie 🤣😵‍💫 1w

dabbe @TheBookHippie We were supposed to act like happy 🐭 no matter how our boss decided to move our cheese. I kid you not. 🧀 1w

TheBookHippie @dabbe Mr BOOKHIPPIE got the same book. He left that job too! 1w

ImperfectCJ We got it just before a merger dissolved our department. They even hired an improv group to act it out. 1w

Hooked_on_books The podcast If Books Could Kill did an episode about this book. They basically take apart how awful it is and the dreadful ways it‘s been used by employers and managers. Plus, the guys doing the podcast are pretty funny. 1w

Eggs Absurd 😕🤪😳😤 1w

Sparklemn @Hooked_on_books A new podcast to try. Thanks! 1w

Susanita Management flavor of the month 🤦🏻‍♀️ 1w

Hooked_on_books @Sparklemn You‘re welcome! It‘s a fun one. 1w

JenniferEgnor I remember this one…I hated it!!! 1w

AmyG I will summarize. “I am moving the cheese and you have no choice but to follow because if you don‘t embrace change you lose”. 1w

lil1inblue OMG. I had to read this for work many years ago. I could not stop rolling my eyes. The funniest part is that our owner, who made us read it, is one of the most change-averse men I have ever met. 😂 1w

dabbe @TheBookHippie #greatminds! That book was utter bullshit. 1w

dabbe @ImperfectCJ OMG! Now THAT would have been a sight to see! 🤣 1w

dabbe @Hooked_on_books I will have to check this out! 🤩 1w

dabbe @Eggs IKR? 🤬🤯🤣 1w

dabbe @MemoirsForMe 🤣🤩🤣 1w

dabbe @Susanita You said it! 🤣🤩🤣 1w

dabbe @JenniferEgnor IKR? 🤣🤩🤣 1w

dabbe @AmyG 🎯🩵🎯 And after all that, you'd better be HAPPY about it! 1w

dabbe @lil1inblue I think that that was THE book for all managers/bosses/principals/you name it in the early aughts. 🤣🤩🤣 1w
