He's no Nabakov.

That's a good effort. I haven't read the Book Thief, but I agree about the Amor Towles book. It was OK, but nothing special. I also was not a huge fan of Where the Crawdads Sing. It was OK but didn't punch me in the gut like a great book does.

I choked in the second 50. My total just 29 all up. My wife got a scarcely believable 74. I do read a lot more genre novels than she does, which didn't feature strongly in the list. How did you go?

Looking forward to the rest of the list anyway. I’ll see if I can catch up a bit tomorrow and will let you know 😀

Probably The True History of the Kelly Gang, the Bee Sting, Circe... Horse maybe.

17 for me so far.

Sure was. I had read more of the list than I expected, but not as many as I'd like.

I’m listening too.

Hares.

Bloody awesome.

Lol, I'm not surprised.

Year Ones are masters of tricky, often irrelevant, questions.

I haven't read them all by any means, and I'm showing my popular fiction DNA here, but Great Expectations is my favourite.

Not my favourite Dickens, but a good read nonetheless.
