Oh Thanks Pip! I hope you get to it: I had fun making the lists.

You've done a marvellous job, I'm so impressed with what you've accomplished!

These are great lists, thanks. Would Captain Corelli’s Mandolin also fit for music references?

Pamela wrote: "These are great lists, thanks. Would Captain Corelli’s Mandolin also fit for music references?"

Thanks! and it would and just added it! There is definitely a reason I'm calling them Suggestion instead of Definitive lists lol: I'm assuming I've missed some for many of the lists. If anyone sees anything to add to the lists for other people, feel free to point it out!

Hey Nike: I looked through the discussions yesterday before work, because I thought there was some talk about the wishlist. However, I couldn't find it - maybe you would have better luck.

In the meantime, the group has a shelf under the "Bookshelf" section that is labeled 'wishlist'. I'm sure you could use a book from there.

It is here: https://www.goodreads.com/group/books...
