This book challenge takes
place twice a year and concentrates on one year and one year only. I call it "Read the Year Club". This
time, 1940 was picked. For more information, see Simon @ Stuck in a Book. (Here is the invite.)
If you are looking for inspiration, there are a few books from that year that I read already:
Boye, Karin "Kallocain" (SW: Kallocain) - 1940
Bristow, Gwen "This Side of Glory" - 1940
Hemingway, Ernest "For Whom the Bell Tolls" - 1940
Ingalls Wilder, Laura "The Long Winter" - 1940
McCullers, Carson "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter" - 1940
I also found some other ideas:
Adler, Mortimer J. "How to Read a Book" - 1940 (Goodreads)
Faulkner, William "The Hamlet" - 1940 (Goodreads)
Greene, Graham "The Power of Glory" - 1940 (Goodreads)
Richter, Conrad "The Trees" - 1940 (Goodreads)
Wright, Richard "Native Son" - 1940 (Goodreads)
This challenge takes place from 10 to 16 April 2023.
Sorry I'm late announcing this. As most of you know, I was sick in March, so I missed the announcement. I don't have a book on my TBR pile from that year, either, so I will have to postpone this a litte. But, I will take part and post my review later. Maybe you can do the same.
I picked:
Stein, Gertrude "Paris France" - 1940
I'm not participating in this challenge, but it's been very fun seeing all the books from 1940 that people have found to read. Love your choice of Gertrude Stein. Happy reading! :D
ReplyDeleteWe can't participate in all challenges, Lark. I just happen to love classics and think this is a great idea to read something you meant to do ages ago but never came round to it. Thanks, I'm sure I'll enjoy it.
DeleteI hope you are feeling better. I look forward to seeing what you think of what you choose.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Deb. I mentioned it elsewhere, we had Covid after avoiding it for three years. But due to our vaccinations, it turned out to be a mild version. Still have trouble breathing sometimes but other than that, everything seems fime.
DeleteAnd I will definitely report about the book!!!
