Next is one I've had for awhile, The Confidential Agent by Graham Greene (1939) (I haven't had it since 1939. I'm not that old... 😎
You've had an excellent mix of books. I'm impressed you read War and Peace, not one that's ever been on my To Read books. I'm not sure I ever will. I may have to try Earnest. I'm sort of like you on The Giver. I've seen it for a long time, just never checked it out. I may have to now. Good luck with your April reading.
You had a great month. I have to get back to Stephen King. It's been awhile.
