3/25/09 - #29 9 months ago

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 9 months ago

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 9 months ago

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 9 months ago

read The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov

26 down, 49 to go!
