cross one off 3 years ago

I can cross the bible off now. So I’m down to 19 books. I started Moby Dick a while back and was really loving it but just put it down and kind of forgot about it, so I might do that one next. But I’m also thinking maybe Silas Marner as I also have that one and am just interested in reading it. It’s actually one I started to read in high school, but never finished and now I don’t remember very much about it. I do remember, and this is a bit embarrassing, that the reason I wanted to read it so much back then was I was addicted to the show Wishbone where the dog acted out famous books with actors. Kind of sad I was like 17-18 years old and watching that show all the time, but it did actually inspire me to read a lot of books and that dog was just so cute. Anyway, there was an episode about Silas Marner and I thought that seemed like a very interesting story. Well, about 10 years later and I still have the book but haven’t read the whole thing.
