Bob’s comments from the Catching up on Classics (and lots more!) group.

Good luck with your challenge, enjoy!

I’m looking forward to following your progress this year. The House of Mirth, I fell in love with Lily Bart. Invisible Man, A Study in Scarlet, and A Portrait of a Lady, I can’t wait to hear what you think. I am defiantly reading Angle of Repose next year and I’m looking hard at The Magic Mountain, The Woodlanders, and Travels with Charley. I hope you enjoy every one!

Sue, I could almost copy and paste your list. Looks like some good reading is heading your way, have fun!

Enjoy your challenge. You have made some wonderful choices.

Wow at some of the books on your list. I see some happy reading in your future, enjoy!

I’m glad to see you took the plunge. I hope you have fun!!

Excellent list and you are right this is a great challenge, lots of fun. Looking forward to following your progress, enjoy.

Nice list, I hope you enjoy!

I like your strategy. You can never over plan, good luck!

Nice list and it’s always good to have variety. Good luck!

Looking forward to watching how your challenge develops. Have fun!

You did another wonderful job with the bingo board, thanks!

Good luck on your next year’s bingo. Dune is a book I was aware of for not years but decades. I’m happy I finely read it, it’s great. Another surprise for me just this year was A Paradise Lost, not the easiest read for me, but a truly good book. You have several others I could talk about, but you have one of the best I’ve ever read on your list and that is All Quiet on the Western Front. I’ll never forget this one. Enjoy!

A few years ago, I didn’t play bingo. In November of that year I got curious as to how many books I read would have been bingo squares. When I finished going through my books and the squares I had 23/25 squares filled. You may be surprised at how well you do this year, enjoy.

Good luck and enjoy it.

Congrats on the Bingo!!

Your review of Lamb in His Bosom is excellent and I enjoyed reading it. I’m always a little worried that a book I highly praise will be read by someone who then ends up disliking it. I’m glad that wasn’t the case here. Looks like you have the blackout well in hand enjoy the last one.

Congratulations on the blackout!!

A reminder that the Classic of Africa and the Booker Prize are Bingo squares The Power of One is a past poll loser and can work here for challenge #3 as well as the Classic of Africa Bingo square. Not everybody playing Bingo are doing these challenges and I hate that folks may miss out on these lists that could be of benefit. This search info may do more good in the Bingo Folder.
