#45 The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway 13 months ago

Wow, I just realized that I’ve been working on this goal for over two years, and I’ve only read twelve books from this list in those two years. That’s not to say that I haven’t read a lot of books in the last two years, I’ve read something like 140 books in the last two years. I’m just not focusing too much on the books on this list.

22 percent done. This was a good book, although Scoop was more entertaining.

#5 Brave New World by Aldous Huxley 2 years ago

#35 As I Lay Dying 2 years ago

Fifteen down, 85 to go. I love Faulkner. I read The Sound and the Fury a while back and have been wanting to read this one for some time.

#41 Lord of the Flies 2 years ago

I was kind of dreading this one from what I remembered of it. I liked it much better than I expected. 86 more to go.
