Good Reading Guide Books on a Theme: Parents & Children to Russia

See how well-read you are in certain areas or explore more books on your favourite themes. Sourced from "Bloomsbury Good Reading Guide" (Nick Rennison, 8th edn, 2009).
01-11: Parents and Children
12-20: Past and Present (Novels in which historical and contemporary stories meet and interact)
21-28: Places
29-39: Police Procedural
40-51: Politics
52-63: Private Eyes
64-72: Publish and Be Damned (Writers; publishers; agents; readers; fans)
73-83: Renaissance Europe
84-93: Rescued Lives (Biographies of people history had forgotten)
094-102: Revisiting One's Past
103-110: Rewriting History (Novels where the past has changed)
111-118: The Rhythm of Nature (People in tune with or in thrall to the land)
119-129: Roman Catholicism
130-137: Russia (before, during and after the Soviet era)
BTW, I realise there is some duplication of books over the challenges in this series. This is because of overlap in the themes.
