Reading 1001 discussion

I am going to try to post this early. Life in 2020 has been a challenge and continues to be so. I will be very busy the next several days so going to try to get this done tonight. December books are from Michaels to Nabakov. Voting for our BOTM will go through the 23rd of the month with winners announced on the 24th. Book under 600 pages and not a previous BOTM in past two years are included. If you think I missed something please let me know. Everyone gets a free vote but you can use participation points up to 5 total votes including your freebie. Please feel free to try and persuade people to vote on books you really want to read. Send a PM to the Reading 1001 shelf personality or to me. Don't forget to vote.

I can't believe we are almost to the end of 2020. We will be starting to think about our next year plans so be thinking about quarterly reads that you would like to read next year.

The Sound of Waves and Anagrams are both on Audible, so one will get my vote

Excluded from the Randomiser will be:

Cloud Atlas - David Mitchell
The Wind-up Bird Chronicles - Huraki Murakami
Lolita - Vladimir Nabokov

Is this the whole list? I thought this grouping went into the "N"'s. I have only read 12 of these.

The book I most want to read is Family Matters, which I was actually going to start today. I guess I will hold off, just in case.

Other books in my radar include:
The Romantics
Crossfire
Southern Seas

I would love to read something by Moravia, but his books are often hard to find.

Not the whole list -- there were multiple first posts for this topic. The full list is in this one:

I had troubles again when working on the list. I've also been getting a lot of duplicate posts lately. This thread will get locked. Don't use it.
