Mount TBR 2019 discussion

This may turn into a trek up Everest, depending on how much non-challenge reading I end up doing this year, but I'm participating in two reading other challenges of 50 and 26 books each, almost entirely using books I already own.

My current reads that fit the TBR category are:
Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (though for obvious reasons I may not be done with it for a while)
The Duchess of Malfi: Seven Masterpieces of Jacobean Drama by Frank Kermode (ed.)
The Beggar's Opera and Polly by John Gay
Faces in the Water by Janet Frame

Perversely, I decided to read two Wodehouse books that don't qualify as TBRs, but I've finally finished the first actual TBR book of the year: The Duchess of Malfi: Seven Masterpieces of Jacobean Drama by Frank Kermode (ed.). It was an excellent collection overall. I think the weakest two plays, though still interesting, were A Woman Killed with Kindness by Thomas Heywood and The Maid's Tragedy by Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher. Out of the other five, four were rereads I knew I'd enjoy: Volpone by Ben Jonson, The Changeling by William Rowley and Thomas Middleton, The Revenger's Tragedy attributed in this book to Cyril Tourneur, but more likely the work of Thomas Middleton, and The Duchess of Malfi by John Webster, a play that has been a favorite since I was in high school. A Chaste Maid in Cheapside by Thomas Middleton was unfamiliar to me, but I enjoyed it very much. Middleton was a genius both at comedy and tragedy.

Up next, I'm going to start The Crying of Lot 49 by Thomas Pynchon partly because it's another TBR read, and partly because I know there's a parody of a Jacobean revenge tragedy contained in the book, and so I reasoned it would be funnier if I had these other real examples of Jacobean theater in my mind.

Edited to add: I was feeling a bit low, and felt I needed a pick-me-up of Wodehouse which could be included in my TBR challenge, so I started Jeeves and Wooster Omnibus , a book containing The Mating Season, The Code of the Woosters, and Right Ho, Jeeves. I also have a copy of Week-End Wodehouse if the omnibus doesn't do the trick.

Hope you were able to get more TBR reading done!
