Guardian Newspaper 1000 Novels discussion

We now have well over 200 books on our shelf, and there is a discussion thread for each one (or there should be!),

this makes it a little tricky to find a specific discussion thread for a book read some time ago, especially as the default listing order is by "last activity"
i.e. this is what everyone usually sees:


there is a "Search" function, but that's rather flaky, especially for short words of 4 letters or below(!)

a lesser-known trick is that:
the discussions can be sorted alphabetically by clicking the word "topics" as shown:


I have edited the thread titles to eliminate leading "A..." and "The..."
so that e.g. "A Tale Of A Tub" can be found under "T" as "Tale of a Tub, A"
and "The Day of the Triffids" can be found under "D" as "Day of the Triffids, The"
etc

Hope this helps :o)

that's brilliant Darren. so the group has got a fifth of the way through the list? wow. I'm slowly trying to catch up with the ones I missed when I stopped reading very much for a couple of years, one section at a time.

we're on 233 atm, so will reach 250 in December of this year :oD

That's a great help Darren, thanks!

And wow, almost a quarter of the list done! Like Phil, I am slowly trying to get to the ones I have missed. Some months it's harder than others...

This is such a help, thank you Darren!
