#45 The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway 1 month 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 1 year ago

#35 As I Lay Dying 1 year 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.

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.
