New Isabella What am I waiting for?

read at least 43 of the World's 100 Greatest Books (read all 4 entries…)
More progress... 6 months ago

I finished Huckleberry Finn yesterday. :)

That brings my count up to 27 books read.

I think I’ll join Celtic_Christian and read “Silas Marner” next. It’s available online here, and I hope it’s also available in the local library. Wikipedia describes it as “a tale of familial love and loyalty, reward and punishment, and humble friendships.”

Just wondering...

What happens if you can’t stand the book? I tried reading a classic/banned book a while back and I hated it so much at 40 pages I just couldn’t read it! If you find you really really dislike one of the books, what would you do?

New Isabella What am I waiting for?

Celtic_Christian already gave up on "The Prince and The Pauper"...

He wrote an entry about it. He figured he didn’t need to waste his time reading something that really did not interest him, even if it was one of the so-called “World’s 100 Greatest Books.” If a book is choose is something I just can’t get through, I’ll probably just try another from the list.

Of course, if we feel that way about too many of the books on the list, we’ll never reach our goal of 43 read. I hope that doesn’t happen. (:
