Book Meme, Day 12
12. I pretend to have read it.
War and Peace, occassionally. I'm shamefully ignorant (in the sense of actually having read the books, as opposed to general cultural osmosis) of the Russian classics anyway, and for some reason, I never got around to War and Peace. I did see both the Hollywood and the more recent tv series version, but it's definitely on my "must read before I die" list.
1. Favorite book from childhood
2. Best Bargain
3. One with a blue cover.
4. Least favorite book by favorite author
5. Doesn't belong to me.
6. The one I always give as a gift.
7. Forgot I owned it.
8. Have more than one copy.
9. Film or tv tie-in.
10. Reminds me of someone I love.
11. Second hand bookshop gem.
13. Makes me laugh.
14. An old favorite.
15. Favorite fictional father.
16. Can't believe more people haven't read.
17. Future classic.
18. Bought on a recommendation.
19. Still can't stop talking about it.

21. Summer read.
22. Out of print.

Poor Carlos, he was the best man at Wilde's wedding and I just read in a book review how he requested his ashes be put in the tomb next to Wilde's, altho it was put much more affectingly than that and of course now I can't find it. (Altho then his son Carlos Paton Blacker was a eugenicist? DD: But his granddaughter was a 'Blakean' batik atist! https://www.independent.co.uk/news/obituaries/thetis-blacker-434360.html)
