My sister read Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep and thoroughly enjoyed it. You’ve got a good list, a lot of interesting books, some of which I’ve never heard of. I hope the spin gives you an intriguing and good read!
Thank you! And you inspired me to fix the lack of author names on the ones that might be unfamiliar. Have a great spin
Exciting! I am keeping my fingers crossed for The King Must Die or The Three Musketeers — I am rereading both at the moment (very slowly), and they remain bangers.
Thanks! I think I will do The Three Muskateers on audio soon. Have you read The Club Dumas? by Arturo Pérez-Reverte
Care, Read A Confederacy of Dunces earlier this year for a lit course (just before lockdown, yeah!).. Loved, loved, loved the book. Hilarious. If you don’t have it, let me know. Will send (am trying to relieve myself of stuff — books are the hardest!). Good luck with your list. I may make up one for myself, although I recently ran through (almost literally, as I love them/his writing), E.S. Gardner’s (under A.A. Fair) mysteries with Donald Lam and Bertha Cool. Well, almost. I’ve two left to re-read, and I’m saving them for winter (tee hee). They really helped me when I started dragging in late summer after months of heat, little outside activity and even less human contact. (I knew, I was’nt alone, but I still got grumpy!)
How generous! I love book swapping. I would be glad to accept your Confederacy of Dunces and I would be very happy to send you a book of anything on my shelf that I’ve read that you need. Granted, I don’t know how much of a choice that offers…
🙂
I’m not doing the Spin this time but I hope you get Giovanni’s Room – it’s brilliant!
I own an unread copy of If Beal Street Could Talk – I don’t know why I listed THIS Baldwin title! oh well.
I’ve read 4 of these, I hope you love All passions spent as much as I do when you get to it 🙂
Oh good! I love getting more endorsements for particular titles. TY
