The 1925 Club


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, 1925 was picked. For more information, see Simon @ Stuck in a Book and Kaggsy @ Kaggsy's Bookish Ramblings (here is Karen's invite and here is Simon's). 
If you are looking for inspiration, there are a few books from that year that I read already:

de Man, Herman "The Growing Water" (NL: Het wassende water) - 1925
Feuchtwanger, Lion "Jew Suss" (GE: Jud Süß) - 1925
Fitzgerald, F. Scott "The Great Gatsby" - 1925
Ford, Ford Madox "Parade's End" (Tetraology: Some Do Not - 1924, No More Parades, 1925, A Man Could Stand Up 1926, Last Post 1928) - 1924-28
H., A. "My Struggle" (Notes by some megalomanic who thought he could rule the world, GE: M. K.) - 1925/26
Mandelstam, Ossip "The Din of Time" (RUS: Шум времени/Shum vremeni) - 1925
Woolf, Virginia "Mrs. Dalloway" - 1925

I also found some other ideas, if you are looking for more:
