The Booker Prize Shortlist & Winners 1969-2000
For people who are interested in a long-term challenge to read all of the Booker Prize longlisted books, but before 2001 there were only shortlisted books so I am going to separate these into two different lists. Please see the pinned comment for the 2001+ companion list link and the winners for each year!
Weird Women of the Late 20th Century (1945-2001)
Lives of outsiders rendered in sharp prose style. Descendants of Shelley, the Brontes, and Woolf; forebears to 'Weird Girl Lit'. Title refers to the authors, the subjects of the work may not always be women. Focused on novels published between WW2 and 9/11, with a few memoirs and short story collections.
Underappreciated Women Writers of the 20th Century
A compilation of underappreciated or forgotten works of (mostly British) women writers of the 20th Century.
Short Books (<300)
100 short books for when you need to break a reading slump or reach a reading goal.
