A book that's been mentioned in another book

[Lynette]

Here is a duo that I just saw several people talking about as being really fantastic:

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn is featured in When Books Went to War: The Stories that Helped Us Win World War II.

I see that The Great Gatsby is mentioned in it, as well. Probably others, too, but I haven't read Went to War yet.

[Melanie]

I've seen The Alchemist mentioned for this category. Would that work?

[Emanuel]

I'll read ficciones that I founded mentioned at Hotel Lusitano, a book that I read and loved.

[Badseedgirl]

I read The Devil in Silver by Victor LaValle for a "Book by a person of color" challenge. In it the inmates of the asylum are part of a book club, they read Jaws by Peter Benchley and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey. I have decided to read "Jaws." I have not read it yet and it was available in my local digital library.

[Brooke]

There are a number of books mentioned in You because the main character works in a bookstore. Two that are mentioned frequently are The Red Badge of Courage and Doctor Sleep.

[Elyse]

Easy list for End of Your Life Book Club books:

https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/3...

[Angela]

In Talking as Fast as I Can: From Gilmore Girls to Gilmore Girls, and Everything in Between (So many categories: writer I admire/interesting woman/subtitled book), Lauren Graham is working on the screenplay adaptation of The Royal We.

[Pat]

"Whitsun Weddings"-poetry by Philip Larkin,mentioned in Charles Cummings' "A Divided Spy".

[Aimee]

Why do I keep running into War and Peace? Maybe I should take it as a challenge! If it weren't for that 800 page topic it would be more likely.

[Heidi]

Tons of books mentioned in "The End of Your Life Book Club."

[Sarah]

There's a tonne of kid's books mentioned in The Girl with All the Gifts like Winnie-the-Pooh, The Water Babies and the main character's favourite, Tales of the Greek Heroes: Retold From the Ancient Authors.

I've also just read Pat of Silver Bush who is reading The Wind in the Willows for part of the book

[Kate]

The Magicians series mentions Harry Potter directly and the Narnia series indirectly, as well as some others that I've forgotten.

[Chinook]

I'd read The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing and didn't really have anywhere to slot it in. I contemplated moving my career book to subtitle and the subtitle book to audio, since as a SAHM tidying is an aspect of my "job" but then when I was listening to Talking as Fast as I Can: From Gilmore Girls to Gilmore Girls, and Everything in Between, she mentions the book - because r was referenced in the new Gilmore Girls miniseries. Serendipitous.

[Meredith]

I just finished Ready Player One, which is one long 80's nerd reference. (Said as one of those nerds). There are a lot of books either mentioned specifically or authors in general who wrote sci fi, absurdist, fantasy, etc. There's a list here that's pretty extensive.

[Tara]

I've been wracking my brain trying to figure out where to put the outsiders because great expectations is in the one spot it fits (book on my tbr) and I was hoping to find it mentioned in another book but no luck. Well, I started reading it today and lo and behold in the first chapter he mentions great expectations! So I can switch them AND not compromise my personal goal of reading a book mentioned in another book I've read for this years challenge. Yay!

[Priya]

I thought of Carry On which is mentioned in Fangirl

[Allie]

Agatha Christie novels get a TON of mentions in books as well, I read "And Then There Were None" for this prompt, it's mentioned in both "Behind Closed Doors" and "In a Dark Dark Wood" if you are in to thrillers/mysteries.

[Debbie]

I plan to read Kim by Rudyard Kipling, since it's mentioned in O Jerusalem, the fifth book in the Mary Russell series by Laurie R. King.

[Shannon]

I think I may finally try to read Slaughterhouse Five. I think it was mentioned in Beautiful Creatures.

[Fride]

Anna wrote: "So many good books are mentioned in Matilda.

In fact, here's a list."


This is great, thank you! I was struggling with this prompt.
The Secret Garden is on that goodreads list, and I was just given that as a birthday present this month! Do you happen to remember if it's actually mentioned in the book, or if Matilda just reads it in the film (apparently the list covers both)?

[Sarah]

Fride wrote: This is great, thank you! I was struggling with this prompt.

I'm pretty sure she reads it in the book but if not, it's also referenced in Ballet Shoes and The Painted Garden so it will definitely fit in this prompt.

[Fride]

Sarah wrote: "Fride wrote: This is great, thank you! I was struggling with this prompt.

I'm pretty sure she reads it in the book but if not, it's also referenced in [boo..."

Thanks, I'll go with that one then :)

[Emanuel]

I'm reading Servidão Humana and have several other books mentioned so it´s a tip to find other book to read.

[Zoe]

I read the book Dear Mr. Knightly for the book of letter prompt. The main character is obsessed with classic books (Jane Austen, William Shakespeare). For anyone that's looking for a book of letters and wants some classics mentioned. :)
I actually already read Watership Down, mentioned in Stephen Kings The Stand. :)

[Tania]

[Lisette]

The Count of Monte Cristo mentioned in Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress

AF wrote: "In the book Wonder by R.J. Palacio, Auggie's mom is reading The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien aloud to him at bedtime. Later in the book he's reading..."

Also in Wonder he talks about Diary of a Wimpy Kid and the "cheese touch." Since I haven't read DWK yet I am using it for this prompt.

[Rachel]

I'm having a lot of trouble with this one. I'm finding most of the books mentioned in books I've read are either very long classics, or books that I've already read.

[Lynette]

Rachel wrote: "I'm having a lot of trouble with this one. I'm finding most of the books mentioned in books I've read are either very long classics, or books that I've already read."

Inkheart has a whopping 57 books mentioned inside it. Here's a link to the list. Should be something there you can enjoy. :)

Thanks. I actually read (but didn't like) Inkheart last year, and I remembered that it had a ton of books in it. Unluckily for me, I'd already read the majority that interested me, and have several of the others on my list already for this year.

The good news is, I managed to find a book not too long after posting last. I decided to re-read The Outsiders (mentioned in Fangirl), which I haven't read since seventh grade and have pretty much no memory of.

[Toni]

In A Man Called Ove, his wife is reading The Master and the Margarita on the train when he meets her. Amazon has a beautiful 50th anniversary paperback special edition for about ten dollars.

[Erin]

"Carry On" has a pretty significant part in "Fan Girl," both by Rainbow Rowell.

[Desi]

I'm doing A Drinking Life by Pete Hammill - mentioned in Drinking, A Love Story

[Sarah]

Does anyone know if The Sword in the Stone by T.H. White is mentioned in anything? I feel like it must be and I've just bought a copy of it today so I am really hoping it will fit in somewhere.

I feel like it is the sort of thing to be referenced in The Inkheart Trilogy: Inkheart, Inkspell, Inkdeath or something similar.

[Sarah]

I was right! It's in Inkheart.

I found it on this list https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/3... Lot's of great books on the list. Mainly children's but some adult books too.

[Vicki]

There are at least 35 books mentioned in Rules of Civility by Amor Towles, mostly classics. I made a list of them here:
https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1...

[Nadine in NY]

I just finished You, which is an incredibly sick and twisted psycho thriller that I absolutely loved, and it mentions A LOT of other books. I wasn't taking notes, so I have to do this from memory because I Googled and couldn't find a page listing them (that's not to say that one does not exist) so this isn't all of them, but it's a bunch:
Doctor Sleep
The Da Vinci Code
The Catcher in the Rye
Franny and Zooey
Desperate Characters
The Western Coast
Poor George
Charlotte's Web
Closer
Where the Heart Is
Impossible Vacation
The Red Badge of Courage
Great Expectations
On the Road
Brief Interviews with Hideous Men
Underworld
Gravity's Rainbow

[Jessica]

These two books were mentioned in Brad Thor's Use of Force:

[Mike]

These were mentioned early in August's BOTM The Snow Child

Dickinson: Poems by Emily Dickinson
Walking by Henry David Thoreau
The Troubles of Queen Silver-Bell As Told to Queen Crosspatch Queen Crosspatch Treasury by Frances Hodgson Burnett

I've chosen Walking as my selection since it's short (60 pages). If any others appear I'll update.

[Stina]

A book club I'm in just read The View from the Cheap Seats: Selected Nonfiction, and one of our members wrote out the entire list of reading recommendations. It's really long, so I posted it here: https://www.goodreads.com/author_blog.... I'll be going back in to insert the links to the books.

Anabell wrote: "When I first saw this The Mysteries of Udolpho sprang to mind, so I think this is my clue to finally read that one. She reads it inNorthanger Abbey. Always wanted to read it."

I'm half way through the audible version of Northanger Abbey and picked The Mysteries of Udolpho based on that as well. Seems weird I haven't read it yet since it's such a central theme to Northanger Abbey.

[Jessica]

Here is a list of books mentioned in Midnight at the Bright Ideas Bookstore
