Bethany (dontdosadness) Last year, I used a classic Nancy Drew, as they all start with "Recently, after solving The Secret of the Old clock (etc)..." and end with "Little did Nancy know, her next mystery was right around the corner, when she would become involved in The Sign of the Twisted Candles." --or some variation thereof.

This year, so far I have The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe down, because in The Magician's Nephew he occasionally says something like "you may recognise x from another book" - I'm counting that "another book" =P

I keep meaning to write things down as I come across them while reading, but always forget. One I do remember from this year is The Noise of Time mentions One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich


message 204: by Sarah (new)

Sarah (sezziy) | 901 comments Currently reading La Belle Sauvage which has so far mentioned A Brief History of Time, The Body in the Library and The Silk Road


message 206: by Alisia (new)

Alisia (4thhouseontheleft) | 58 comments I would like to squeeze Walden by Henry David Thoreau into this prompt. Does anyone know of a specific book that mentions Walden?

I'm pretty sure that Love, Hate & Other Filters does. Sadly, I've returned the book to the library so I can't check.

I'm reading Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda and they just mentioned Walden so you're good!


message 210: by Shelley (new)

Shelley | 231 comments I ended up going with The Tales of Beedle the Bard. I found it for $1 at a used bookstore and had never gotten around to reading it. It was a cute book and I liked the layers of notes in it (JKR and Dumbledore).


message 211: by ✨ A ✨ (new)

Yes! Thank you!


message 215: by Mirel (new)

Mirel | 171 comments Emanuel, in a book I received from Prime First that was published this year mentioned Anna Karenina (whuch I knew all about but had never read) and The Outsiders, which I'd never heard of before. Ended up reading and enjoying both.


message 217: by Cornerofmadness (new)

A Stranger Is Watching


message 219: by Natalie (new)

Natalie (oboe_reader) | 5 comments "Reading Lolita in Tehran" provides several options here: Lolita (Nabokov), Daisy Miller (James), Price & Prejudice (Austen) and The Great Gatsby (Fitzgerald).

I think I'm going to try Lolita, since it also knocks off the Antihero/villain prompt. I have no qualms about doubling up since I read plenty of books that aren't covered under one of the prompts!

message 224: by Teri (last edited Jun 06, 2018 03:10PM) (new)

Teri (teria) | 1554 comments As soon as I saw this category, I knew I would be reading The Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan. It is mentioned in the first chapter of Little Women, and I've always planned to read it as that was a favorite book of mine growing up. So 40+ years later, I'll finally get around to it.

There are a ton of good books mentioned in this thread that I would like to read someday as well.


message 225: by Tina (new)

Tina (tinatome) The Fireman mentions a ton directly and references even more

Thank you!!! I am reading Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl for this prompt just sure that it was mentioned in some other writings but I've had the darndest time finding it now that I'm double checking. Luckily one of the books on the list in this link has it mentioned!


message 230: by swatreads (last edited Jun 28, 2018 02:01AM) (new)

swatreads (swathishetty) | 30 comments Natsume Soseki and Franz Kafka's works are mentioned in Kafka on The Shore by Haruki Murakami. Also you can find a whole bunch of other books mentioned in Kafka on The Shore!

Awesome! Thanks for this rec. I've wanted to read Murder on the Orient... so this will give me a good excuse :)


message 233: by Teri (last edited Jul 06, 2018 01:51PM) (new)

Teri (teria) | 1554 comments I just started reading "Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe" and there is a brief discussion about Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness."

Jen (jentrewren) Teri wrote: "I just started reading "Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe" and there is a brief discussion about Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness.""

Heart of Darkness is very disturbing (at least it was to me). I know it was a different time but the racism was extreme.


message 235: by Aimee Dars (last edited Jul 08, 2018 06:27AM) (new)

Aimee Dars (aimeedars) | 102 comments The following books were mentioned in The Female Persuasion:

I've never read it. It is on my list of books I need to read, though. Racism wasn't mentioned at all in the discussion in this book. Instead, it was about the beautiful language.

I'll be interested to see your opinion after you read it...... I am hyper sensitive to racism and animal abuse so may be reacting more than a normal person. Odd, since I read horror mainly.


message 240: by Aimee Dars (new)

Aimee Dars (aimeedars) | 102 comments Stephen King's The Outsider mentions:

Harper Lee, Go Set a Watchman
Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird
Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five


message 241: by Heather L (new)

Heather L  (wordtrix) | 780 comments There is no shortage of series about books, bookstores or libraries in the cozy mystery genre, any one of which I should think would be good for both a bookstore/library prompt as well as this one, including:

* "Book Retreat" series by Ellery Adams

* "Magical Bookshop" series by Amanda Flower


The "Bibliophile" series by Kate Carlisle is another in which the books are chock full of book titles.


message 242: by Melissa (new)

Melissa Townsend | 2 comments A Thousand Splendid Suns was mentioned in A House in the Sky. I have read both and would recommend A Thousand Splendid Suns. So good.

Bhavna | 57 comments Has The Thorn Birds been mentioned in any book? Thanks


message 245: by SadieReadsAgain (new)

SadieReadsAgain (sadiestartsagain) | 767 comments I read Brave New World. I'll admit...I was a bit underwhelmed by this. I just found it a bit dry, and was left cold by the aspects Huxley chose to focus on of this incredible concept that he developed. Too much talk about no-strings sex (and that's all it is, talk...and not very sexy talk at that), not enough about how the world came to disregard procreation and instead make humans in factories. I wanted to delve deeper into the toxic consumerism, the lack of family connection...and instead got too much about who was having who. I know it's making a very important point about happiness and society and all that jazz, I totally got that. I just felt that there was so much untapped potential. Still, for its time this is a very impressive vision, and the story unfolded well to a really strong ending. I can see why it's a classic.

The Chapter Conundrum (Stacey) | 404 comments Today I read Tolstoy and the Purple Chair: My Year of Magical Reading by Nina Sankovitch for the prompt favourite colour in the title.

Jen (jentrewren) That is great news. I read On Chesil Beach because someone said it was brilliant. I hated it but finished it because it was short. Now thanks to you I can actually use it for something.
