What mammoths are you tackling in March? Have you read any of these books?

Where else to find me?

Wow I’ve never heard of March of the Mammoths. I def have a few I could tackle. Great video Anne.

[EntertheBook]

I JUST picked up Atlas Shrugged at a library sale this past weekend. I'm impressed you are looking at more than one mammoth at once- enjoy whatever you are diving into!

[revenantreads]

Ooof, Atlas Shrugged. My old nemesis returns. Good luck!

[michaelhearn]

I have read Atlas Shrugged twice. I agree with you about Ayn Rand's philosophy; I don't think much of it.

[daneantoine]

So cool that you read the pickwick papers...I feel its one books that readers of Charles Dickens never read but its so unique in his works with the language used and its light hearted comedic story.

[knitty]

I have several mammoths i am considering: Pillars of the Earth, Barkskins, Anna Karinina, and Middlemarch are my top 4. Just need to decide on one.

[thescottishyarnfestival]

I read Atlas Shrugged in January 2022. Definitely agree with your feelings about Ayn Rand (I've also read The Fountainhead.)

After starting on 1 March I'm 20% through Celestial Harmonies by Péter Esterházy which is the only mammoth I'll be tackling this month.

I’ve never heard of LibriVox. Thanks so much for referring to it. I just checked it out. So many options! 🤔

[teresateri]

Panic not, you only have to start the mammoth in March. You can finish it when you finish it.

[Yesica]

I kinda both loved and hated Atlas Shrugged. I wish I still had my copy. For all its frustrations, it may deserve a second reading. I also vaguely remember reading The Pillars of the Earth. But it was a long time ago and I don't recall details.

Since you enjoyed William Shirer's _Rise and Fall of The Third Reich, _ you might enjoy a Russian history by Orlando Figes, _A People's Tragedy: The Russian Revolution: 1891-1924._ According to Amazon it clocks in at 1024 pages (I'm sure that includes references and index). It was a good read.

[lovelydaywithholly]

I haven’t even heard of this readathon! It sounds neat!

[betsymaher]

I'd like to read The Pillars of the Earth too but not for quite a while. You must be an extremely fast reader. It seems like the audio books would take more time to get through though.

[attention]

Does March of the Mammoths have to be fiction? If not, maybe I can actually do this marathon, as half the books I read is over 800 pages haha. Although, not fiction. And oh! You are going to read Atlas Shrugged--as you expressed in the previous video, you had a feeling her ideas are going to be similar in all her work--you are probably experiencing at the moment that you were very correct in thinking that haha. 😅

[Thecatladybooknook_PennyD]

Oh yes I loved Pillars of the Earth. Warning tho for a descriptive s e x scene (I just skip over those) and a descriptive S assault scene which I skipped. It's great except for those two things.

[teacupthestoryteller]

What a properly structured planning! 😂💪 after finishing Three Musketeers (hopefully soon) I am taking break from mammoths 😂😂

[beeheart]

I’m trying out the Faerie Queen on LibroVox which I have tried to read several times but kept giving up. I’m surprised I’m having more luck hearing it than reading it. So cool! 👍🏼

[WestAussieDiamondArtReads]

The Pillars of the Earth is a brilliant book. I read it on Audible. I also read the second one on Audible too. I love Ken Follett's works.

[LittlePrairieLibrary]

I think I'm the only person that didn't love Pillars of the Earth lol. I really wanted to, but it just let me down. The violence toward women in it just tainted the whole reading experience for me.

I’m participating in March of the Mammoths 🦣 for the first time this year. I haven’t read any of the books 📚 you’ve mentioned in your video. I have chosen to listen to the audio version of Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy and and narrated by Maggie Gyllenhaal, which I started listening to yesterday.
