Book Clubs Side Read: 1000 Books to Read Before You Die

Thanks to @Lana_Maskus for nominating last month’s books. My turn!

– The Warden by Anthony Trollope, 240 pp
– Portrait of a Lady by Henry James, 362 pp
– Goodbye Darkness: A Memoir of the Pacific War by William Manchester 418 pp (we did cap selections at 400 pp, but this is only slightly over and because it’s NF there are likely notes that are making it look longer)
– The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead, 320 pp
– From Russia with Love by Ian Fleming, ~300 pp

Who’s read what, and what book looks good to you for February?

I’ve read The Underground Railroad, but none of the others. All look excellent.
