Jealousy: a novel | Alain Robbe-Grillet

I've included four books I probably would never have even heard of without this list. Some had amazing, unusual structure that I found fascinating, some where about a time/place with which I was unfamiliar, and some were just a lovely experience.

rwmg Marginally better than last week with 16 (17 if you count 100 Years of Solitude, which I have DNF-d twice). If it hadn't been for my teenage hormones looking for rude bits, I would probably have DNF-d The Naked Lunch as well. 2d

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

1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die | Peter Boxall

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.

1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die | Peter Boxall

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

dabbe That is hysterical! And I'll be happy when we're done with this list. I need to find lists that better support what we love to read. I still can't believe I didn't even recognize 72 of these! 🤣 #abysmalindeedy Thanks for playing and sharing. 💙📚💚 1w

DGRachel @dabbe I think I only recognized maybe 10 from this list and that includes the ones I‘ve read. This list was 🤨 1w

#ThreeListThursday @dabbe #TLT

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

dabbe We can be the #dismalduo! Except you kicked my sorry butt! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💙📚💚 1w

TheSpineView @dabbe You crack me up! Dismal Duo!! 🤣🤣 What I want to know is who made these lists? A lot of these books I have never heard of. 🤪🙄😏 1w

dabbe @TheSpineView According to good ol' Wikipedia, “1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die is a literary reference book compiled by over one hundred literary critics worldwide and edited by Peter Boxall, Professor of English at Sussex University. There was a major revision of 280 odd titles in 2018 with the removal of ~300 works almost entirely by English-language authors who have more than one title on the original list.“ That explains it! 🤣 1w
