Actually, I am genuinely curious to see how many you'd recognize from my list this week. I'm betting a minimum of 5. (The average score so far is between 0 and 1.)<br /><br />Marjorie Morningstar sounds really interesting -- older adult fiction is tougher for me to find than the juvenile stuff in terms of what appeals to me, but this sounds like exactly the kind that is up my alley. I like your mom's projected taste, based on this post, so this is a pretty good guide.<br /><br />My Family and Other Animals has been on my TBR for a while; I need to stop forgetting about it. According to my reading log I did read a later Durrell book in high school, but I tragically don't remember a whit.<br /><a href="https://rainbowstevie.livejournal.com/1290438.html" rel="nofollow">--RS</a>RShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15389851788572591784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497062501059248350.post-8714272371058829782021-02-04T10:14:05.876-06:002021-02-04T10:14:05.876-06:00My goodness!

I recently read <a href="https://momobookblog.blogspot.com/2020/11/metalious-grace-peyton-place.html" rel="nofollow">Peyton Place</a> because it was the top book in the year I was born. I thought it was brilliant.<br /><br />The other books from your list that I read are "Doctor Zhivago", "Imperial Woman" and, of course, "The Cat in the Hat". But I read that to my boys when they were little. In my youth, I have never heard of Dr. Seuss.<br /><br />Anyway, what a great list.

I think if I did the same thing with my mom all the answers would be "She didn't or wouldn't have read it because I don't remember her reading anything during our growing up years." She is now a reader but I don't think she had much time to read when I was young and she rarely if ever took us to the library.Anne@HeadFullofBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01069558006454986084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497062501059248350.post-29008094651206084752021-02-02T13:28:46.013-06:002021-02-02T13:28:46.013-06:00The only one that I recognize is The Cat in the Ha...The only one that I recognize is The Cat in the Hat.
