Wrapping Up
Thanks for joining the Classics challenge! You've got a great list going... I am really enjoying the wide variety of titles people are choosing! I am also doing the Victorian Lit Challenge, though only the 5-9 book level. Good Luck with them both!
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking the 2011 TBR Challenge with me! I am super excited about your choices! Anna Karenina was fantastic - one of my favorites - but definitely allow yourself time for it. Sound and the Fury was odd, but good. And a bunch of the others (Bronte, Nabokov, Woolf), I have always wanted to read, too. On the Road was not a great read for me, but obviously a lot of people love it - so I hope you enjoy it. The Scarlet Letter was interesting - particularly the prologue ("The Customs House"), be sure to read it! (My favorite Hawthorne is still The Blithedale Romance, but Scarlet Letter was good too - I hear it's been enjoying a big revival since the movie "Easy A" came out). Thanks again - can't wait to see how things progress!
ReplyDeleteI'm taking the 2011 TBR challenge too! I also have A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius on my list. Have fun with your challenges.
ReplyDeleteBest,
Sarah
I know where you got The Edible Woman! Hope you enjoy Anna Karenina--that's one of my favorites. This makes two challenges we're both doing (I've signed up for the Victorian Challenge as well.) Have fun!
ReplyDeleteJust checking-in on your progress for the 2011 TBR Pile Challenge - nice job, so far!
