7/24/09 - Book 35 (1001 Books)

read Get Shorty by Elmore Leonard. It was all right, but not great.



5/2/09 - Book 34 (1001 Books)

read Fury by Salman Rushdie. A waste of time.



4/11/09 - Book 33 (1001 Books)

read Jack Maggs by Peter Carey. Historical novel set in London in the early 1800s. Interesting and well written.



4/10/09 - Book 32 (1001 Books)

read The Body Artist by Don DeLillo. 1.5 stars. Hopefully the next one will be better.



4/5/09 - Book 31

read The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen. Didn’t like it. 1.5 stars.



4/2/09 - Book 30

read Atonement by Ian McEwan. Very interesting read. 4 stars.



3/25/09 - #29

read Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell

This book rates 5 stars. I really liked it.

29 done, 46 to go!



3/22/09 - #28

read A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess. I gave this three stars of a possible five. I don’t like reading about violent criminals as the main character. All the made up slang made this slow reading.



3/19/09 - #27

read The Adventures of Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra. (all 940 pages of it. It took a while. especially since I only read a little a day, and read many other books)

27 down, 48 to go!



3/17/09 - #26

read The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov

26 down, 49 to go!
