Lists: To-dos, Illustrated Inventories, Collected Thoughts, and Other Artists' Enumerations from the Smithsonian's Archives of American Art | Liza Kirwin

Late again. Thanks for the tag, @Eggs #WondrousWednesday
1. Generally I would rather read the book.
2. Laundry.
3. Audio books are not for me. I can‘t concentrate.
4. Chocolate, although I rarely eat sweets anymore.
5. I use mechanical pencils a lot at school; I love my fountain pens for letter writing.
6. Both.
7. Both.
8. Not a fish girl, but I love halibut. So fowl.
9. In person if I can.
10. Hmmm. Both. I love a snow day.

Jari-chan Love your first answer 😁 3mo

TheLudicReader @Jari-chan sometimes, a crappy book makes a fun movie (The Kissing Booth, for example, was great but the book, unreadable.) 🤣 3mo

Eggs Thanks for joining in 💕 3mo

#Top25of21

My top 25 books of the 21st century so far. I had to leave so many great books off the list that I‘m probably going to make this “part 1” and do a Top 50…

Billypar

BarbaraBB Great list! I should have added an Everett too! 3mo

Billypar Very nice list! Atonement and Bel Canto were such incredible, sad books 💔 Life of Pi is one that sticks with me: I remember feeling fully immersed in that story 🐅 3mo

My best yet - 97 out of 100!

Three favorites (though there are at least a dozen others I could plausibly substitute in)...

1. I Only Have Eyes for You - The Flamingos
2. Just Like Heaven - The Cure
3. I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry - Hank Williams

#top25of21st
I have feeling someone has already started a thread about this and I missed it, but with the NY Times recent list of 100 best books of this century, it seems like a good opportunity to try and figure out my own. So if anyone wants to join in, I'd love to see what your favorites are. I chose 25 instead of 100 and just novels since I have a hard time comparing nonfiction or story collections, but feel free to make your own rules!

Billypar Reddit thread with the NYT list (#s 3, 23, and 25 are on it): https://www.reddit.com/r/literature/comments/1e1h8cc/lets_talk_about_nyts_best_b... 4mo

LiteraryinPA Thanks for sharing your personal list! 4mo

Ruthiella I don‘t know if I could whittle it down? 😂 Ishiguro would be on it for sure, but I‘d pick “Never Let Me Go” and for Mitchell, “Cloud Atlas”. 4mo

See All 25 Comments

Suet624 There are so many that I like on this list but numbers 18 through 21 are my absolute favorites, especially Marra‘s book. I guess I would add Fresh Water for Flowers. 🙂 4mo

TheBookHippie Gah … okay I‘ll work on it!! I agree with your 14&25 4mo

TheBookHippie Oh 13 too! 4mo

BkClubCare Wow - I have 3 of these on my Aug bookspin bingo card 4mo

plemmdog I loved #10 and #19! 4mo

Billypar @Ruthiella Never Let Me Go is on my to be read shelf, so hopefully I'll get to that soon. I pulled about 35 initial candidates from my shelves, but whatever number you set, it always leads to tough choices. 4mo

Billypar @Suet624 I need to bump FWFF up on my TBR based on everything I've heard. And I'd like to read more from Marra based on how powerful Constellation was. 4mo

Billypar @TheBookHippie Chabon's Kavalier & Clay is on the NYT list and is also great, but I feel like Yiddish Policeman's Union gets overlooked among his novels. I still need to read the newest releases from Obreht and Ward. 4mo

Billypar @BkClubCare If it works out that you get Drive Your Plow... I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. One of the most unique murder mysteries I've read, and it's got some great dark humor. 4mo

Billypar @plemmdog The voices of the narrators in both of those novels are so distinctive, I can almost conjure them in my head now. I never wanted to put either one down while I was reading. 4mo

TheBookHippie @Billypar I agree!! 4mo

BkClubCare @Billypar - Looking forward to it; starting it next 🤩 4mo

BarbaraBB Great list. Did you choose them from The NY Times list? 4mo

Billypar @BarbaraBB No, I was just finding favorites from my shelf. There are three from NYT's - A Brief History 7 Killings, Bel Canto, and Sing, Unburied, Sing. It's got lots of good ones, but I've only read a little more than 1/3. 4mo

Reggie I love that you have Bunny and Fever Dream in there. 🖤🖤🖤 4mo

Billypar @Reggie If weirdness was like paint, I think my entire list has a thin coat, but those are two where it collected and pooled 😆🖤 4mo

vivastory Fantastic list! 👏 🤘 4mo

Christine This is a really great list!! 3mo

sarahbarnes So many great ones on here - and a few that are high up on my TBR. 3mo

Billypar @sarahbarnes I feel like nothing on my TBR gets read unless I see the book recommended multiple times, so I like how these lists help with prioritizing. 3mo

merelybookish Fabulous picks! I think Bunny would make mine as well. I think often my 'best' books become the ones I don't forgot. And I have not forgotten Bunny! 3mo

Billypar @merelybookish Yeah, that's a good standard to use. I'm pretty sure Bunny won't ever stop hopping around my brain! 3mo

48/100 - surprised my score's so low.

3 favorites:
You're so vane - Carly Simon
Under Pressure - Queen & Bowie
Go your own way - Fleetwood Mac

dabbe

dabbe Oh, I bet it'll get better as we get down to #1! I chose “Under Pressure“, too! #greatminds Thanks for playing and sharing! 🤩🤩🤩 4mo

TheBookgeekFrau @dabbe I was thinking the same about progressing through the list and it reflects that time when radio was king 😂 Such #greatminds 💜💜💜 4mo

72/100 was a good score, it might be higher but there was a couple of movies, like Love Story, that I'm not sure if I actually saw or just heard about.
Favorites:
1. Star Wars (duh!)
2. Superman (still the best Superman movie of all time!)
3. Animal House

New Book of Rock Lists | Dave Marsh, James Bernard

Only 31/100 albums make my list. Most of that comes from the 60's, 70's and 80s, I'm not even sure who some of the later groups and artists were. I would have added a couple more Bowie albums and Night at the Opera by Queen on the list also.
Thank you for the tag @dabbe #ThreeListThursday

dabbe I think only 1 Bowie made the list. 😱 And where was Queen? And more Led Zepp? I've got tons of new albums now to listen to! 🤩😂😀 6mo

Thanks for the tag @Crazeedi
My 3 quirks!
1- I‘m a neat freak - everything has to be in its place !
2- I‘m wary of food that has an odd texture!
3- I can only read one book at a time!

#thelistthursday #TLT @dabbe

dabbe #1: I aspire to be a neat freak but can't seem to achieve it! 🤩
#2: #ditto
#3: Do you do audio, too? I can't. I have to read the words.
Thanks for playing! 💜 10mo

Crazeedi #2 that's me 10mo
