I did the #GAR challenge in 2018 & got 53/100. My goal is to read at least most of them.

Currently on my TBR bookshelf:
The Grapes of Wrath
Heart of Darkness
Things Fall Apart
A Separate Peace
Crime & Punishment
War & Peace
Catch-22
Dune
Atlas Shrugged

#TLT

bellabella Sound like good, long books! I hope you enjoy them. I've only read Grapes of Wrath out of those, but I liked it a lot. 1w
dabbe If I had to pick my top 3 from your list, I'd choose GRAPES, THINGS FALL APART, and A SEPARATE PEACE--loved teaching that in high school. You kicked my butt! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💙📚💚 1w
Susanita Things Fall Apart 😭 1w
wanderinglynn @Susanita that‘s what I‘ve heard, which is why it‘s been sitting on my TBR bookshelf 1w

This is the kind of book where you feel like you‘re right there with Scout and Jem, whether it‘s harassing the Radley‘s, playing with Dill, or watching Tom Robinson‘s trial from the balcony. This truly is a masterpiece that will stay with you forever. #Classicschallenge2020 #GAR

Finished! I loved this book. It was funny, sad, frustrating, ridiculous, and thoroughly enjoyable. #GAR

Fantastic book, although I really don‘t know where Hollywood got their version of the monster from. 😂 #LitsyAtoZ #GAR

Laughterhp I started listening to this on audio and I was really confused as to if I was actually listening to Frankenstein! 6y

AlaMich I named my cat Sodapop when I was an adolescent. My father was baffled. 😆 6y
KarouBlue OMG I‘m on ch5 and was just thinking the same thing. This one‘s got family history though. My dad went to WRHS w/ Hinton and lived in the “Greasers” meighborhood Hinton interviewed. It‘s my one link to bookish fame! Spent my summers at the same drive in as Ponyboy, too! 6y
Rachbb3 @MellieAntoinette That's awesome! It's like the book coming alive for you. 😀 6y

I reached page 200 today. At this rate I should finish sometime in September/October. 😄

I'm loving Sancho Panza and have had some LOL moments.

GreatBookStudy YAY! Sancho is full of wisdom and a great statesmen. He is not a foolish as DQ makes him out to be. (edited) 6y
jenniferw88 Can recommend this book after it (& it's not nearly as long! 🤣🤣🤣) 6y
