Including one Japanese novel, of course 😉 I’d love to read the other two novels, too…

Nice twist. I hadn’t done a “love” list, yet, so I took the given topic this time. I also have “Love in the Time of Cholera” on mine.

My TTT.

    Yes, there are. I’ve seen a few with hearts on the covers. That was also cute. I wouldn’t have found many like that, though. LOL

      Yes, a blogger even did it with conversation hearts on the cover! Fortunately there are lots of lists available like this on Goodreads. I personally prefer to do something mostly with books I have read

        Ah, I see. I think I might have seen that one. Was nice. But, like you, I always thake books that I read and reviewed. It’s a lot more fun and I sort of go back to the books I read and loved.

I’m always intrigued with your knowledge of eastern Christian spirituality. One of these days I need to learn more.

“The Brothers Lionheart” by Astrid Lindgren is one of my favourite books, so that one would have been on my list if I made one.

I like your creative approach. I had a go at a list with the word love in the title last year but couldn’t quite make 10. Just updated it to publish later on today. The only one of your books I’ve read is Heart of Darkness, what a dark tale.

Hmm, so there *are* books where the heart does not necessarily mean romance. Somehow in all that Valentine Day’s craze, I’d forgotten that. The Place of the Heart looks interesting, might check that out, thanks!

I have read The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter and The Heart of Darkness. Out of curiosity I looked through my shelves of read books and found three: The Heart Goes Last by Margaret Atwood, Because It is Bitter and Because it is My Heart by Joyce Carol Oates, and My Heart Hemmed In by Marie NDiaye. Not as many as I would have thought.

The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter is a title that I seem to have always heard, although not really knowing what it is all about. It sounds interesting and could be a book for my list. I have read Heart of Darkness, is a very dark book. However, Joseph Conrad is a favourite author. Good luck with your reading.

  Well, Carson McCullers’ style is also dark. But this book is very powerful, I may have read it 3 times, and I usually don’t reread books

I’m interested in the spiritual titles that focus on the heart. This has been an important discovery in my own path. Interesting that a couple of the two famous non-spiritual “heart” titles are Heart of Darkness and The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter. That says a lot about the spiritual bleakness of our Western civilization.
