Scott’s Big Book Project for 2022
Big Book Reading Plans for Scott
If anyone would like to buddy read any of the books in the video, please let us know!
(You know what? I’m writing this on a computer. There are 28 books here. 28! And you can bet your peepers half of them are gonna have long, drawn-out, completely unnecessary names…)
-The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas
(Okay, not too bad. Getting off to a good start. Good book, too)
-The Idiot by Fyodor Dostoevsky
(Did I spell that right? I think I spelled that right. Yeah, I spelled it right.)
-The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky
-Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky
((With the Steve Donoghue cover. (Oh, and something about Michael Katz) Because I am totally not afraid to name-drop. Ain’t skeered))
-Resurrection by Leo Tolstoy
(So much easier to spell. No weird hidden “y” sounds…)
-War and Piece by Leo Tolstoy
-Middlemarch by George Eliot
(I love how Scott mentions he’s reading lighter fiction as he’s holding this monster)
-Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry
-The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas, Translated by Lawrence Ellsworth
(I don’t know man, two Dumas books seems kind of ambitious)
-Freedom: A Novel of Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War by William Safire
(And so it begins with the long titles….)
-The Histories by Herodotus
(Whew. That was close. Almost had a title catastrophe…a titletastrophe, if you will)
-Greek Lives and Roman Lives by Plutarch
(Because he was nothing if not dry as toast)
-Swan Song 1945 by Walter Kempowski
-The American Heritage Short History of the Civil War by Bruce Catton
(NOW it begins)
-Robert E. Lee, a Life by Roy Blount, Jr.
(Dammit, Roy, you’re throwing me off my groove. I’m trying to be outraged, here)
-Embattled Rebel: Jefferson Davis as Commander in Chief by James McPherson
(OH, NOW IT BEGINS)
-Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln by Doris Kearns Goodwin
(She even has three names! I am outraged.)
-U.S. Grant and the American Military Tradition by Bruce Catton
(I don’t know, I wanted to know about U.S. Grant and Polis Military Tradition…. Still looks just awful…)
-GRANT by Jean Edward Smith
(You’re messing with my outrage, Jean)
-Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave & Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl by Frederick Douglass and Harriet Jacobs
(There we go. That fixed it.)
-This Hallowed Ground by Bruce Catton
(Oh, hey Bruce)
-Civil War by Bruce Catton
(Nope, sorry Bruce. Again, I refuse to write out the titles of all three stories. Refuse. Because I am outraged)
-Shiloh 1862 by Winston Groom
(Still not convinced this is an actual place)
-Bunker Hill: A City, A Siege, A Revolution by Nathaniel Philbrick
-1776 by David McCullough
(David knows how to title a book!)
(And that’s it. Did I have fun? Yes. Am I sorry? Also yes. 😂) -Becky
