Bibliophile’s Collective Tuesday – Famous Books and Author Readings

Home » Blog » Bibliophile’s Collective Tuesday – Famous Books and Author Readings
Once we leave the education system, our reading choices change. Free from scheduled literature, some we had no interest in reading in the first place, our choices expand. Depending on our own particular favored genre, we pick books for a variety of reasons. However, have you read any of the classics? The following list is for the 20th century, but of course there are many other books that have been hailed as excellent over the decades. TOP TEN WORKS OF THE 20TH CENTURY
  1. Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
  2. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
  3. In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust
  4. Ulysses* by James Joyce
  5. Dubliners* by James Joyce
  6. One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
  7. The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner
  8. To The Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf
  9. The complete stories of Flannery O’Connor
  10. Pale Fire by Vladimir Nabokov
How are you liking your current read? Due to a variety of things I am still reading One Step Closer but hope to finish in the next week or so. Then I will begin If It Bleeds followed by The Secrets of Flight. IMG_E6529.JPG Have you reviewed each book this year? Remember your pledge in January. I found a great reading by Stephen King from If It Bleeds. There's something special about hearing an author read their work. Take care an happy reading.
