Neeru at A Hot Cup of Pleasure has been a regular participant in various reading challenges here at the Block--and has now been bitten by the challenge-hosting bug as well. The 100 Years Hence Reading Challenge is simple: Read at least one book from 1925. Any text in any format counts. And there is a prize for the person who reads the most books from a 100 years hence. Read all about it at the link above.
Here are some possibilities from my teetering stacks of TBRs:
The Under Dogs by Hulbert Footner
The Charteris Mystery by A. E. Fielding
The House Without a Key by Earl Derr Biggers
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes by Anita Loos
John McNab by John Buchan (12/22/25)
And if I want to do a reread in 2025:
The Murder Book of J. G. Reader by Edgar Wallace
The Red Lamp by Mary Roberts Rinehart
Death of a Millionaire by G.D.H. & Margaret Cole
The Painted Veil by Somerset Maugham
The Secret of Chimneys by Agatha Christie
The Professor's House by Willa Cather
Ariel Custer by Grace Livingston Hill
Books I have previously read from 1925 that I will not, under any circumstances, be revisiting (previous review linked):
Heart of a Dog by Mikhail Bulgakov
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald [not one of my most popular reviews :-) ]

Thank you so much Bev for participating and posting about the challenge. Hopefully more people will come to know of it. I am also planning to read Biggers and Cather. Hope you enjoy the challenge.
