Boxall's 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die discussion

I just finished reading Blindness by Saramago and I thought I bought it initially because it’s a list book. I can’t find it on the list I have though, is it because it’s not on the list?

No, Blindness isn't on the list.

I think Blindness is Saramago's most-popular book and deserves to be on the list, but strangely (IMO) it's not one of the five by Saramago that were chosen.

when you want to know what's on the list. You can search it (control /F) or put in order of authors by clicking the word "Author" at the top of that column, then the word "Data" at the top, then "Sort sheet".

You might be getting it mixed up with Blindness by Henry Green, which IS on the list (in fact, there is a LOT of Henry Green on the list, which bemuses me)

Is Spring Flowers, Spring Frost by Ismail Kadare on the list? Does anyone know of a searchable list. It would be great to just type in the title to see.

It's a list book. You can find a spreadsheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...

The document should be searchable.

I have tried to search it, but it doesn't work (on my Android phone).

My Struggle: Book 1

I tried to search the list as Ellinor suggested, but unfortunately it doesn't work. So ... I dare ask if someone knows whether Knausgaard's My Struggle (the series or any of the individual books) are on the list?

I already tried searching the lists provided in this group and the Google spreadsheet one.

None of Knausgard‘s Books are one the list.

I think this should say "none" not "nine" - quite a difference ;)

Yes, it is on the list.

None is correct.

You‘re right of course. Auto-correct seemed to be of a different opinion though ;)
