Also, mit den #derStandard-Buchtipps könnte ich ja mitziehen (vor allem bei der #GraphicNovel über #VirginiaWoolf's Orlando), wäre da nicht schon meine selbst kurierte Lektüre-Auswahl, die Über-Ich und Zeitmanagement über Gebühr strapaziert. Aber vielleicht interessieren die vorgestellten Titel ja andere Leser*innen genug, um einem Kauf näherzutreten.

It’s Weekend, Let’s Read: Who is the author with more works in the Guardian’s list of 100 greatest novels of all time?

The Guardian made a list of the 100 greatest novels of all time. You can see the list here, with links to how Guardian’s made it. First place of the list is George Eliot with Middlemarch, but I thought to check which authors had more works in this list. And it’s Virginia Woolf with five books!

Second place in the number of the novels in the list are Jane Austen and Charles Dickens, both with four books.

Best part? They’re all in public domain, so if you want to start with any of these four authors, right here, right now, head to Project Gutenberg and let’s read!

“But there is another way of fighting for freedom without arms; we can fight with the mind…women of ability are held down because of a subconscious Hitlerism in the hearts of men.”

Virginia Woolf from her essay “Thoughts on Peace in an Air Raid,” referencing men favoring oppression of women over survival in the war against the Nazis.
