I was slogging through One Door Away From Heaven by Dean Koontz and hating it; and my nonfiction alternate, House Thinking, was making me feel bad since I don’t have a dining room, entry, loft, den, view, etc.
I started Wolff’s 1991 YA book not expecting to enjoy it, but it improved after the first 25 pages. I’m zipping through it effortlessly, like I used to do when I was a younger reader. It’s inspired me to look for Mozart’s Concerto No. 4 when I get my annual Amazon certificate (I have No. 3, heroine Allegra’s alternate selection).

If one signs up for many of these, they restrict one’s reading choices waayyy too much.
As of now (end of 2007) I’m signed up for six rings/rays (three of which are stalled) and only one 3-month-long challenge. It’s called a Set-It-Yourself Reading Challenge! Perfect for me, and I’m sooo looking forward to it.
One thing that still bothers me relative to this goal is that I have many, many books I really don’t want to read any longer. Some of them have such small print that it’s seriously uncomfortable to try. But I can’t make myself get rid of them, because they were gifts (“RABCKs”).
