    So far... 9 months ago

    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
