This is only moderately helpful, I know, since I can't provide a complete list of books mentioned, but ... if you are looking for a book that mentions a lot of other books, Walter Mosley's Fearless Jones mystery series is a good one. Fearless's best friend (and fellow mystery detective), Paris Minton, is a bookstore owner and fervent reader. Paris mentions a lot of books in the course of the mystery, but the only one I can think of right now is Madame Bovary. I've looked for a Listopia list but can't find one.

Mmmmm, I loved The Mysteries of Udolpho. Totally bananas gothic novels really tickle my fancy. Have you read The Monk? It makes Udolpho look so very, very restrained and coherent.

I read Wuthering Heights for this prompt, since it's mentioned in Wittgenstein's Mistress and it was already on my to-read bookshelf. As expected, given my fondness for the overwrought and illogical, I thoroughly enjoyed it. So many tantrums! So little reason! Why does Mr. Lockwood have absolutely no sense of personal space or discomfort at staying where he isn't wanted? I literally laughed until there were tears in my eyes. Good times.

Angela's Booked (alexangelas) | 1 comments I read the Miss Peregrine's Home for peculiar Children series and I was wondering if anyone read Tales of the Peculiar by Ransom Riggs and counted that as their "book mentioned in another book"?

I'm listening to The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao right now (and I am loving it) and there are A LOT of mentions of Tokien's ring cycle and The Hobbit, plus references to Innsmouth (Lovecraft), Jack Kirby, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Dune, Octavia Butler, and Alvarez's In the Time of the Butterflies (and a lot more but I wasn't taking notes while I read so I've forgotten a lot of them)

Fantastic resource! I've never seen that list before!!

Not sure how reliable it is though (like any list on GR I guess, it's always "buyer beware") because I can't imagine what book mentioned Gold Fame Citrus, it was just published a few years ago, not enough time to get a mention in another novel, surely? (that one just jumped out at me because it's one of the few that I've read)
