#titleswithpropernames

Doing some more caching up with #readingjanuary day 8 #titleswithpropernames Right now I'm reading this one for uni and it's weird. It's the single most fragmented book I've ever read. It's not even a story, it's beginnings of stories written in a stream of conciousness style. Very confusing and I am not sure if I like it. Has anyone read this book?

@RealLifeReading

scripturient I read this for uni many years ago and liked it at the beginning but then it got weirder and weirder. 7y
vivastory I like this but for me he is a much greater poet. 7y
I-read-and-eat @scripturient For the first 30 pages I was kind of following the story but after that I just got lost. @vivastory I love the prose, the writing is beautiful. We read some fragments today in class and they are stunning in wordchoise and observations. But I don't think it succeeds in being a novel, something that is a compelling read. I can understand him being a great poet though! 7y

Really enjoying this. Premise: descendants of *that* Holmes and *that* Watson continue to have a similar relationship.

Charlotte Holmes is both delightful and disturbing in turn.

BraveNewBooks @TrishB that's awesome! My younger sister (age 20) just read and loved this. I think a sequel is due out next month? 7y

I thought I'd pay homage to Mr. Dickens for #titleswithpropernames since he always had a knack for interesting last names. Chuzzlewit. Can't beat that! #readjanuary #penguinenglishlibrary

Libby1 I read at least on Dickens book a year; usually in September. 7y
EvieBee @I-read-and-eat Haha! Shucks. Almost had you thinking I was a mind reader. 😄 7y
EvieBee @Libby1 That is so awesome! Would you believe I haven't finished one? Got about halfway through David Copperfield but so much time has passed I'm sure I'd have to begin again. 7y

#readjanuary #titleswithpropernames

I found all of these on one shelf. Question for all you #littens: On purely anecdotal evidence, do you find most books with names are names of women? Or do I have an especially feminist bookshelf? ( I'm cool with that!)

TrishB I don't think I've seen a male title! 7y
Kalalalatja I know there are a lot of classics with male names - Oliver Twist, Dombrey and son, Silas Marner, Peter Pan, Frankenstein, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Huckleberry Finn and so on. So yeah. I don't really know what I want with this point, I just remembered all these titles when I read your post 😄 7y
LauraJ Mine are about 50/50. 7y
heatherkaz Mine are dominated by women's names, but I think that speaks of my tastes 7y
minkyb Great question! 7y
