HOPE TO READ SOON: A tribute to Rebeccanyc

In 2022, five years after Rebecca's death, Monica/Trifolia started this thread. Her introduction at that time was

As many of you know rebeccanyc was an active member here in Club Read and in some other groups here on LT. Her excellent taste in books, her willingness to share her love and enthusiasm for books with us, and her kind responses on our threads made her much loved by many. In the years that I have known her here at LT, she has left an indelible impression on me. And the fact that five years after her death I still think of her only underlines this.

That year, 34 participants managed to strike off 360 of the 641 books on her Hope to read soon collection . 2023 saw more books read from the list by 35 participants, so that the currently read status stands at 371/641.

That leaves 270 unread books, as well as 371 books read by at least one Club Read member, from which to choose for your 2024 reading.

Post which book you have read as you read it, as well as any comment you wish to make. The list will be updated as we go.

Thanks so much to Monica/Trifolia for starting up this thread, and for sharing all her work. To quote her again: I'm pretty sure Rebecca would have applauded any book activity and I'm also pretty sure if there's one way we can pay tribute to Rebecca, it's through us reading the list she had wanted to read. I hope you'll join me and read at least one book and preferably more. I will also invite her friends in other groups she actively participated in (75ers and Reading Globally) to join us. Because one thing you can be sure of: Rebecca had exceptionally good taste and read a wide variety of books, so there is probably something for everyone.

Okay, I've just requested Beroul's The Romance of Tristan on ILL. I've probably read it before in all my Arthurian stuff, but this will make it official.

Just checked my bookshelf. The edition I have is the one by Bedier, so that's the one I've read.

Thank you for carrying on this tradition. I will recommit to The Abyssinian, and then there are one or two others which I would like to acquire and read.

Thank you for bringing this back to our attention. I slacked off a bit in 2023, but am determined to read more from this list this year. I am about half-way through There Once Was a World (No. 165); it is almost encyclopedic in its information about life in a Jewish Shtetl, and yet it makes fascinating reading. I am eager to get back to it.

I just ordered a copy of #271 Mama Leone and will commit to reading it as well. Thanks!

Thanks for continuing this.

I have requested from the library #421. Pramoedya Ananta Toer. Footsteps and should get it later this week.
Later this year I will read the other book by Pramoedya Ananta Toer, #422 House of Glass

I did read the listed Ian Rankin books (#429-431) in the last months, but others have read them as well.
I still keep my entry at the first thread updated at https://www.librarything.com/topic/337945#7696923 and now have read 50 of Rebecca's TBR

I have finished reading #52. The Romance of Tristan by Beroul. Review is on my thread.

>16 WelshBookworm: Noted above, thanks - you're the first one to claim it.

Checking through again:

96. Chekhov, Anton. A Journey to the End of the Russian Empire — I'm not certain, since they aren't combined on LT, but I think this must be the same book as Sakhalin Island, which I read last year. Both seem to contain Chekhov's account of the journey across Siberia and his notes on the island itself.

>15 FAMeulstee: It still counts even if others have read them.

>18 thorold: Checked off. Interesting about the possible double title - one of those bright ideas distributors come up with for different countries.

Finished #421. Pramoedya Ananta Toer. Footsteps.
It is the third book in the The Buru Quartet, where we follow Minke, the son of a Javanese regent. The first two books were about his younger years at end of the 19th century. Now the new century has started and Minke tries to find a meaningful way in life. He becomes a reporter and starts a paper. When he starts an organisation to help the locals, the Dutch colonial rulers are not amused.

Last December, I read (and enjoyed!) Spilt Milk by Chico Buarque, but only just realised it was in the list (#69).

>20 FAMeulstee: >21 Dilara86: Two more off the list.
Making progress!

>20 FAMeulstee: Will you be reading the fourth book? Sounds like an interesting series.

>22 SassyLassy: Yes, I will read the fourth book later this year.
I am Dutch, and have an intrest in our colonial past. Most books I have read about the Dutch East Indies were written in Dutch by Dutch writers. Only a few of them had an eye for the hardships of the natives.
These books are from the viewpoint of the other side and very enlightning.

I've just finished #154 Thirst, about soldiers in the Iran-Iraq war. I might need some time to recover. (well worth a read, though)

I have finished #422 House of Glass by Pramoedya Ananta Toer
A very good conclusion to the Buru Quartet.

Sad that there hasn't been any activity here most of this year. Sadder still that the last post was from another departed member, Anita.

I read Stoner in 2024 and still plan to read Cochise for this memorial reading project. That will carry over into 2025, as will the last few sections of There Once Was a World.

>26 laytonwoman3rd: I was thinking the same thing this week as I looked back at my year's reading. Have added you to Stoner.

Just realized as I was going over the list that I had read one on the list back in March: Frozen in Time: The Fate of the Franklin Expedition. Another one struck off along with >25 FAMeulstee: House of Glass and >24 Dilara86: Thirst.

Apologies for not adding those other two earlier. I was away during that time period and obviously didn't catch them when I came home.

Thanks to Dilara for remembering that a book I read last month, Mama Leone is #271 on rebeccanyc's list. As I read through the list to refresh my memory, I pulled #125 Journal of an Ordinary Grief off my shelf to read next.

>29 labfs39: Updated Mama Leone - you're the first to strike it off.

A couple of updates from me, both already claimed by other people here:

442. Roa Bastos, Augusto Antonio. I, the Supreme — read in July (previously TBR)
568. Tokarczuk, Olga. House of Day, House of Night — read in February

>31 thorold: Updated

29 I think you finished Mao's Great Famine, #145?

>33 SassyLassy: I did. I haven't been telling you books I read that have already been crossed off. Should I be?

>34 labfs39: No "should" here, but that was being done when I took over the thread, so I've just continued it.
I kind of like the idea of so many people reading these books.

Okay dokay! In addition to the ones already listed, I've read: 8, 63, 97, 118, 138, 144, 167, 179, 186, 216, 234, 235, 238, 245, 256, 296, 347, 434, 436, 491, 508, 516, 518, 612, 613, and 617.

You can remove my TBR intention for #373, The Captive Mind, I tried to read it, but only made it halfway.

>36 labfs39: Updated
Should we add an "abandoned by" category:)

I finished #125 Journal of an Ordinary Grief. I am also halfway through Best American Stories 2009, no. 488, so you can add me as a TBR.

>38 labfs39: Another one off the list! It's a book I would like to read.
Also added 488
