You've made a great list though (and we know I love those). Let me know when you get to Hiroshima- I've got that in my TBR too, maybe we could read it together?Louisehttp://astrongbeliefinwicker.blogspot.com.au/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483877654474162845.post-55314028442714798292018-03-17T12:34:50.027+11:002018-03-17T12:34:50.027+11:00I've been a little scared of tackling Wild She...I've been a little scared of tackling Wild Sheep Chase, but you've given me the encouragement I need - thanks :-)Bronahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11110584237325026052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483877654474162845.post-51905819502592505352018-03-16T20:45:41.505+11:002018-03-16T20:45:41.505+11:00That's a great list, I probably wouldn't m...That's a great list, I probably wouldn't mind reading almost any of them!

Hiroshima (or one of my other Japanese books) are very much on my mind right now....but I also have a #ccspin & a #zoladdiction book to squeeze in too :-)<br />My usual over-commitment problem!<br /><br />Thanks for your considered response.Bronahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11110584237325026052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483877654474162845.post-13655334303631759122018-03-16T07:33:40.894+11:002018-03-16T07:33:40.894+11:00There are several authors on your list who I'v...There are several authors on your list who I've read books from but didn't know about some of these other titles.

(definite mood factor is important here)<br />Kristin Lavransdatter - it had its moments...but I would not read another book by Sigrid Undset<br /><br />Now on to my choice for next read:<br /><br />1. Hiroshima - John Hersey (war correspondent, journalist…they always know how to write a gripping narrative!) - <br />The article occupied almost the entire issue of the magazine – something The New Yorker had never done before. Article was published in book form and immediately sold over three million copies<br /><br />2. Views of Nature - 7 essays, you can read one….put the book down and let it settle. Sometimes 12 page essay is better than a 500+ page novel!<br /><br />3. Origins (memoir) - Amin Maalouf (…jounalist, member Académie française….then you must know how to write!)<br />You can see I'm in a #NonFicReads18 mood!NancyElinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15021569006682648126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483877654474162845.post-31574862687962904022018-03-15T21:07:37.134+11:002018-03-15T21:07:37.134+11:00I love when you challenge me with this question.

Sipping my morning coffee at the moment, staying off the bike on 'The Ides Of March' (better safe than sorry) and I will think long and hard about which book I would choose. My mood at the moment is upbeat...so not looking for depressing books. Mood is an important factor. You will hear my choice... very soon!NancyElinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15021569006682648126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483877654474162845.post-54594416941317733402018-03-15T16:25:17.075+11:002018-03-15T16:25:17.075+11:00Which one would you read next?Which one would you read next?Bronahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11110584237325026052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483877654474162845.post-68480738781116118192018-03-15T06:11:08.896+11:002018-03-15T06:11:08.896+11:00Lovely list!Lovely list!LyzzyBeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16398604923871095647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483877654474162845.post-47041414017988083502018-03-14T23:57:37.950+11:002018-03-14T23:57:37.950+11:00Before you go to bed...thanks for a great read
