997. The Golden Ass - Lucius Apuleius 1 week ago

Just finished.

A little too fanciful for my taste but interesting story nonetheless.



588. Native Son - Richard Wright 2 weeks ago

Finished about an hour ago.

Awesome story though it took me quite awhile to get through just because of the bulk.



754. Howards End - E.M. Forster 2 weeks ago

Finished a couple of hours ago.

Not the best Forster book but decent surprise. Did not like the way he wrote the end though.



761. A Room with a View - E.M. Forester 1 month ago

Finished this afternoon.

Was bored in the beginning but at the 19th chapter it all turned around. Absolutely loved the ending.

Are you BLEEDIN' SERIOUS?!? 1 month ago

The list has been updated! There have been about 250 change-outs, carrying with it a third on my accomplishments on this list! Including Adjunct. Have you read Adjunct? It’s a PAIN! And so much Rushdie and Lawrence has been taken out. I don’t know what is new on the list as I am having trouble getting the spreadsheet to download. I should have that figured out soon, though, as my awesome sweetums in on the case.

The good news is that a third of the books I’ve already read i=on the list is still a pretty small number, sooooo…..Back to the book mines!



971. Candide - Voltaire & 772. Where Angels Fear to Tread - E.M. Forster 1 month ago

Candide:

Great in French and English. Hilarious always.

Where Angels Fear to Tread:

Finished tonight for a class.

Quick read though a bit too brief in much of the description.



989. Oronnoko - Aphra Behn 2 months ago

Finished early last week.

Interesting and very short read. Good story with only a little of the early writing confusion.



789. The Turn of the Screw - Henry James 2 months ago

Finished at work.

Interesting story though a little confusing. Overall quick and great read.



820. The Strange Case of Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde - Robert Louis Stevenson 2 months ago

Finshed earlier today

GREAT story. Just absolutely love that whole plot.



991. The Pilgrim's Progress - John Bunyan 2 months ago

Finished earlier today.

Have to say that it has an interesting plot in places and some good quotes but overall was pretty boring. ESPECIALLY the end!
