Neeru at A Hot Cup of Pleasure has been a regular participant in various reading challenges here at the Block--and has been well and truly bitten by the challenge-hosting bug as well. Here is the second year of the 100 Years Hence Reading Challenge. The basic rule is simple: Read at least one book from 1926. 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 Mouls House Mystery by Charles Barry
The Plumley Inheritance by Christopher Bush
The Cheyne Mystery by Freeman Wills Crofts
Poppy Ott & the Stuttering Parrot by Leo Edwards
The Massingham Butterfly & Other Stories by J. S. Fletcher
Madame Storey: Private Investigator by Hulbert Footner
The Creeping Siamese by Dashiell Hammett
These Old Shades by Georgette Heyer
Harvey Garrard's Crime by E. Phillips Oppenheim
Enough Rope by Dorothy Parker
Ann's Crime by R. T. M. Scott
The Day of Uniting by Edgar Wallace
The Door With Seven Locks by Edgar Wallace
The Girl from Scotland Yard by Edgar Wallace
And if I want to do a reread in 2026:
The Chinese Parrot by Earl Derr Biggers
The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie
Death at Swaythling Court by J. J. Connington
Winnie the Pooh by A. A. Milne
The Tattooed Man by Howard Pease
The Bat by Mary Roberts Rinehart
Clouds of Witness by Dorothy L. Sayers
The Benson Murder Case by S. S. Van Dine
The Corbin Necklace by Henry Kitchell Webster
And the only book I have previously read from 1926 that I will not, under any circumstances, be revisiting:
The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway
