This was a goal from last year. I got stuck on E (Focault’s Pendulum by Umberto Eco) so ended up moving on to another book.
A: The House of Spirits by Isabel Allende
B: The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov
C: Lydia Cassatt Reading the Morning Paper by Harriett Scott Chessman
D: The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz
E: Walking Across Egypt by Clyde Edgerton
F: Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer
G: One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez (reading)
Next up…
H: The Great Fire by Shirley Hazard
I: A Prayer for Owen Meaney by John Irving

My Progress
18 months ago
I’ve been working on this since February and doing well with it until I embarked on a unexpected move down state in early May. I was halfway through my D entry at the time, luckily the only book on my list I owned a copy of. So, I finished that one a week or so later, but I won’t be able to get to E until I get a library card which hopefully will be sometime this or next week.
What I’ve read so far:
A: Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen
B: Giovanni’s Room by James Baldwin
C: Death Comes for the Archbishop by Willa Cather
D: The Dew Breaker by Edwidge Danticat
Next up:
E: Silence by Shusaku Endo
