The Critics Recommend Them but How Many People Actually Read Them? - Page 3

These are books that I have not yet read that also appear frequently on my previously published list challenges. They typically occur dozens of times over different lists.
The challenges I used were those that had a list of recommendations made by an author or a professional book critic. Popularity lists such a those on Goodreads were NOT used.
I think this list makes a decent literary TBR; important omissions most likely result from me having read the book!
