11 - A Book Mentioned in Another Book

[Chelsea]

I just finished reading Welcome to the Hyunam-Dong Bookshop and these books are mentioned in it:

The Elegance of the Hedgehog
Animal triste
The Catcher in the Rye
Amy and Isabelle
Moral Tribes: Emotion, Reason, and the Gap Between Us and Them
Like Water for Chocolate
Glimpses of World History
The Refusal of Work: The Theory and Practice of Resistance to Work
To Have or to Be? The Nature of the Psyche
Zorba the Greek
Our Souls at Night
Franny and Zooey

[Sasha]

The Haunting of H. G. Wells, as you might expect, mentions several of Wells's books:

The War of the Worlds
The Time Machine
The War in the Air
Marriage
Ann Veronica
The New Machiavelli

There are also a few mentions of books by other authors:
Rosmersholm
The Great God Pan

And finally, there's an annoyingly contradictory reference to "a copy of the latest book by Henry James, a collection of his late short fictions, sent to him by the author himself". Since this is set in 1915, the latest Henry James was in fact his second autobiography, Notes of a son & brother. His last pre-War short story collection was the 24-volume The New York Edition of Henry James: The Aspern Papers/The Turn of the Screw/The Liar/The Two Faces, published in 1909. So if you were wanting to read the autobiography or any of those 24 volumes, I guess you can take this as your prompt to do so.

ACOTAR is mentioned in Abby Jimenez's Say You'll Remember Me

[Sasha]

The main character in The Secret Book of Flora Lea is an antiquarian bookseller by trade, and the following are mentioned:

A Christmas Carol
The Chronicles of Narnia
A History of Western Philosophy
A Room of One’s Own
1984
To the Lighthouse
Mrs. Dalloway
Wuthering Heights
and "a new Agatha Christie just out", which based on the chronology must be either The Hollow or Taken at the Flood (aka There is a Tide...) by Agatha Christie

[Diana]

[Cyndy]

This is an odd one, but in Crook Manifesto, it refers to Harlem Shuffle. It's specific about the Harlem Shuffle dance, but if I was doing the challenge...

"He was currently arranging for Barry White, whom he’d met when they worked on Bob & Earl’s classic 1963 single “Harlem Shuffle.” Doing more and more solo work on movies. Zippo showed him a rough cut in the Grotto when Page came to town for the release of Can’t Get Enough."

Whitehead, Colson. Crook Manifesto (pp. 204-205). Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group. Kindle Edition.

[Frogli]

So I finally picked up The Odyssey (Emily Wilson newish translation) and The Yellow Wall-Paper got a mention in the introduction

[Cathern]

Sense and Sensibility was mentioned in a book I just finished reading if anyone is in the mood for Jane Austen.

[Dubhease]

Found another one. In The Lonely Hearts Hotel, in 1933, someone is reading an Agatha Christie book.

So, as long as it is one published in 1933 or earlier, you could use it.

[Megan]

I'm reading Stephen King's "On writing" and he's mentioned: The Stand, Misery, Carrie, and the Dead Zone so far.

A Tempest: Based on Shakespeare's 'The Tempest;' Adaptation for a Black Theatre

[Lilith]

I read When Life Gives You Lemons, Make Peach Pie, and enjoyed it; it could work for a book about a road trip or about a food truck.

There was a list of books, made by the character, which she titled "Suggested Reading List for Incoming Seventh Graders". If you are in the mood for a middle grade book, or possibly classics or YA,
she lists:

I'm currently reading The Measure by Nikki Erlick for my free book. It mentions:

The Giver
The Iliad
The Odyssey
The Five People You Meet in Heaven
The Handmaid's Tale
The Hunger Games
Tuck Everlasting
The Catcher in the Rye
Atonement

[AF]

And The Unsinkable Greta James, my book for a activity from my bucket list (Alaska cruise), mentions:

The Call of the Wild
White Fang
Moby-Dick or, The Whale

[Nadine in NY]

The Water Outlaws is mentioned in Worth Fighting For

[Sherri]

I just finished The Comfort of Crows: A Backyard Year. Toward the end of the book she mentions books that have influenced her. Here are two that caught my attention.
The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating. I read this book years ago & enjoyed it. Pilgrim at Tinker Creek. I think I'll use this book for the prompt.

[Dubhease]

I read Ulysses. It is supposedly mentioned in Just Kids and Fun Home.

In the Bell Jar, the protagonist complains about having to read Finnigan's Wake. So, I'm sure characters complaining about James Joyce happens in other fiction.

Unlike everyone else recommending the book they read, I do not recommend this book.

[Sherri]

I read Pilgrim at Tinker Creek.

[Anshita]

I read Dracula by Bram Stoker. According to Wikipedia, "With over 700 appearances across virtually all forms of media, the Guinness Book of World Records named Dracula the most portrayed literary character." I'm sure I must have come across some book that mentions Dracula, but I'm at a loss at the moment.

[Victoria]

Currently reading Famous Last Words which mentions Dark Places so I’m definitely reading that one for this prompt!

[Bluebelle-the-Inquisitive (Catherine)]

There are 241 books mentioned in Annie Spence's Dear Fahrenheit 451 so please browse Jessica's list, I'm sure you'll find something to your taste. My attention is on reading The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides.

[Jessica]

The Seed Keeper by Diane Wilson mentions the main character reading Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee by Dee Brown

[Joanna G]

So I had picked Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass for this as it was mentioned in two books I read earlier this year (The Book Censor's Library and The Messy Lives of Book People.

Read it for the prompt as planned.

The next book I picked up after it, The Lost World, also dropped in a mention of it. Very unexpected in that one! So, I guess my choice was meant to be.

[Britany]

Finished Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf

My Review:
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Dea]

I just finished The Centre by Ayesha Manazir Siddiqi, and several books are mentioned. Some of these are probably already listed, but I'll include them just in case.

The Tempest by William Shakespeare
The Turn of the Screw: A Ghost Story by Henry James
The Dream of a Common Language by Adrienne Rich
Living a Feminist Life by Sara Ahmed

I haven't really been in the mood for the book I had chosen. But I read The Tempest on December 30! Just my luck, right? TWO DAYS LATER and I would have had this prompt covered!

I've been saved! I finally read A Court of Thorns and Roses earlier this year. I have not been able to bring myself to read the book I have chosen—I just can't get in the right mood—so I came back here to find another pick. Good to know I've actually already covered this one. Thanks!
