I have read Little Women and I think that Jo quotes a Shakespeare play, either Macbeth or Hamlet.

I have a <a href="http://momobookblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Book%20about%20Books" rel="nofollow">tag</a> where I list all the books that mention books and then mention those books in the respective blogpost (if that makes any sense at all).<br /><br />I read quite a few of the books you mentioned, like <a href="http://momobookblog.blogspot.com/2010/12/ruiz-zafon-carlos-shadow-of-wind.html" rel="nofollow">The Shadow of the Wind</a>, <a href="http://momobookblog.blogspot.com/2013/05/hanff-helene-84-charing-cross-road-and_8.html" rel="nofollow">84, Charing Cross Road</a> and <a href="http://momobookblog.blogspot.com/2015/05/setterfield-diane-thirteenth-tale.html" rel="nofollow">The Thirteenth Tale</a>, it's always lovely to see books you loved mentioned in another book you love. <br /><br />Anyway, I love your blogpost and look forward to seeing many books you found in books. :)<br /><br />Happy Reading,<br />Marianne from <br /><a href="http://momobookblog.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Let's Read</a>Marianne https://www.blogger.com/profile/11810275740213848634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483877654474162845.post-51991347176882504252016-02-15T16:52:24.244+11:002016-02-15T16:52:24.244+11:00I love books in books...here's one for you fro...I love books in books...here's one for you from Barbra Vine's The Dark Eye Adapted, which I finished a day ago. While there are several books mentioned, a key cornerstone, delineating the character of one the main protagonists is that he is reading Saki and quoting him. It has implications at several levels!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483877654474162845.post-10198983808969342302016-02-15T09:55:26.553+11:002016-02-15T09:55:26.553+11:00What a great topic.

I was reading The Paying Guests recently and it talks about Anna Karenina -- also Michael Cunningham's novel The Hours sort of intrigued me about Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway. But otherwise I'm drawing a blank though I know there are dozens of good books in books. thecuecardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08870323589682197091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483877654474162845.post-70301633389448368852016-02-14T16:12:41.670+11:002016-02-14T16:12:41.670+11:00Ohhhh 84 Charing Cross Road has been on my radar f...Ohhhh 84 Charing Cross Road has been on my radar for a long time now....now I will have to check out TROBWR as well :-)Bronahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11110584237325026052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483877654474162845.post-28974180970925329692016-02-14T10:34:54.855+11:002016-02-14T10:34:54.855+11:00I love the idea of reading about a book in a book....I love the idea of reading about a book in a book. For once I have read some of the books you talk about here. The wonderful, and one of my favourite books ever "The Shadow of the Wind". I just love all his books. I also read "The End of Your Life Book Club" by Will Schwalbe, which I liked very much. What a wonderful idea to take your mind off tragic things. <br />I have also read "IThe Death of Ivan Illyvich" which is great and Bonjour Tristesse, which I read just recently. Had never read anything by Sagan before, but is now a fan. <br />I have "The Thirteenth Tale" by Diane Setterfield in my book case, so looking forward reading that one.

I didn't get very far since I want to read so many other books, but I do note whenever a book is mentioned in a book. I started this year by reading 84 Charing Cross Road because it was mentioned in The Reader's of Broken Wheel Recommend. Both were lovely books. And while I don't intend to read Pilgrim's Progress, I did download the Vicar of Wakefield, since Jo is reading it early in Little Women.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
