I recently finished Madame Bovary which was mentioned in The Idiot by Dostoevsky and also mentioned at the end of On Love and in Life is a Caravanserai, all of which I've read this year.
This completes the Scavenger Hunt for 2022 for me. I enjoyed this challenge.

Alec (aself) If you can summon the will to read Adjunct: An Undigest (and find a copy), it makes mention of A Void by Georges Perec.

Edit: and Finnegans Wake, Amerika, The Pilgrim's Progress, How It Is, Trawl, Lady Chatterly's Lover and Ulysses.
