As a decidedly fiction preferring reader myself, I also find it interesting that your fellow club members work in more and more nonfiction works, but the books that stand out for them and that they love are overwhelmingly fiction. I'm sure there is some significant point hidden somewhere in that fact.Whitneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07232739375557259749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-887210982915389572.post-18678268574072909392018-03-26T20:57:33.212-04:002018-03-26T20:57:33.212-04:00I've given out so many copies of 84 Charing Cr...I've given out so many copies of 84 Charing Cross Road over the years. Love that book! Have you read the follow ups, Q's Legacy and The Duchess of Bloomsbury Street? Love them, too! Can't WAIT for the Guernsey movie to come out soon. Adored that book, too! Thanks for helping me build my Goodreads "I want to read" list!

Both contain many of my favorite titles, including Bel Canto, The Underground Railroad, East of Eden (better than The Grapes of Wrath, I think). I laughed a lot reading A Man Called Ove. The audiobook is fabulous. Love seeing some classics on your list; so often they get little respect among many loud voices in our profession, which I think is a shame.Glenda Funkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07020745976555044975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-887210982915389572.post-13775698953487101252018-03-26T18:33:05.398-04:002018-03-26T18:33:05.398-04:00Many ideas here for my TBR list, even though I hav...Many ideas here for my TBR list, even though I have read a lot of them.

What an amazing reading adventure--to be in the same book club for 20 years. I've moved too many times to be a consistent book club member, but the group my mom started 20 years ago that I used to belong to is still going strong. I'm sure it was a lively discussion as you chose your top 20, and I am thrilled that P&P was the top choice.Elisabeth Ellingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00747914394861199796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-887210982915389572.post-43142672404573996142018-03-26T14:42:21.246-04:002018-03-26T14:42:21.246-04:00Out of all the books you listed, I have read eight...Out of all the books you listed, I have read eight of them.

Our group is really a pretty new group but I think I might ask them to do this in April and see what happens - we could do our top 5 or 10 books. Thanks for sharing the lists.
