No chance on this now . . . 19 months ago

I got within four, then Christmas happened. I’m not such a bookworm currently. I’m glad I got close at least!



I Finished Vanity Fair! 2 years ago

Finally. Well, a few weeks ago, but it certainly took me long enough. Now I’m taking a break from this list with a borrowed copy of Brief History of Time. I love physics! I should have been a scientist . . . . I just like dabbling too much to make it a career.



I Want New Books 2 years ago

I have a list of about forty that I’d love to read in the next ten months. I’d better get going on those last five so I can give myself permission to purchase . . .
At least I won’t be dumbfounded like always when my family asks me what I want for Christmas. The hard part will be getting my parents to buy used! I think a group shopping trip is in order.



I am 2 years ago

I am half finished with Vanity Fair. I am so glad to have modern forms of entertainment instead of having needlework, piano, drawing and gossip for my only sources of fun.



Still Five Left 2 years ago

Emerson, gun culture, oriental civilization, Vanity Fair, and Moby Dick. I’m kind of in the middle of Moby Dick, we’re on again – off again. It’s okay. I did read my entire collection of short stories by Arthur C. Clarke a few weeks ago and then reread Fahrenheit 451. Mmm!
I should still be able to finish those five by year’s end, it will just take some determination.



Squatting in Massachusetts 2 years ago

I’ve finished Walden, I’ll take a day or so to finish Civil Disobedience and the poems at the end of the volume. Love this book. Five to go! A good friend of mine also just promised me first pickings off of her slimmed-down book collection when she moves off to grad school. Free great books! Nothing better.



Hemingway 2 years ago

I finished A Farewell to Arms at three in the morning. What a miserable love story!



Sense & Sensibility 2 years ago

check. Next: A Farewell to Arms.



Signifying nothing. 2 years ago

I finished The Sound and the Fury this weekend. Why did I buy this?

I have eight left. Hmmm, what’s next?



Goodbye, Hardy! 2 years ago

I finished Jude the Obscure this weekend. Why didn’t I read this earlier?
