A tad late for this, but I have read all four of these books and would like to have as many replacements as the rules allow. Here are the links to my reviews:

- The Leopard (for some reason, I did not post my review in the reviews topic; but it exists here at message 191): https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
- The Witness (read in the old Shelfari days; review is message 56): https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
- Get Shorty (read during my exile from the group, but no proper review): https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...
- The Passion According to G.H.: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

LOL, the randomiser must really hate me: I have read three of them, with only the Vestdijk novel to be read (it will be tricky to find from Australia):

- Paradise of the Blind (message 146): https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
- Confessions (read in college, then in 2018 during my exile; no reviews expect the 5 stars): https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...
- Jealousy (I believe this was a BOTM in 2012 in the old Shelfari group; can't find the review, lost in the transfer to GR): https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

Thanks Book, finally something! I've read the Banks, but neither the Woolf nor the Self. I can get a start with that.
