The Long and the Short of It: #Markd9528's Combo TBR Challenge - Page 10

This is a consolidated list of unread books from several of my personal short and long term TBR lists, particularly those that are largely composed of works of fiction. I'm sure a dedicated reader would enjoy doing this widely ranging challenge. And you'll probably get a laugh when you come across some of the books I haven't read yet.
Layout: the books in the upper 160 are those I am most keen to read & the next 170 are longer term prospects. The following 40 books (331-370) are on the back-burner or ones I have had difficulty obtaining (at least from a legitimate source). The final 40 are a selection of non-fiction works from the list at the link.
Some of my (mostly) dodgy reasons for putting a book into the top 160 are: I already have purchased the book, it's on my 2020 TBR, I've never read anything by that author or conversely I've enjoyed other works by the author, it's an indispensable classic and/or a short easy read. Do you think like me?
