Have you read your Classic yet?

Yes, I think Handful of Dust and Maltese Falcon both kind of count, and maybe even Fahrenheit 451.
And keep the reviews coming. They've been great to read. :D

I have so far never reviewed a book here. I keep meaning to do so but I've never had free time immediately after reading any of the books I've felt like reviewing, and after a couple of days the impulse to do so fades.
Next month's challenge: Read a book by an author from a country you've not read a book from before.

I'm going for either Portugal or South Africa, Jose Saramago or JM Coetzee. I may read both if time allows me.

Oh. I didn't quite understand how it worked. Thank you for clarifying. Now if I can just remember Tashmere - 22/02/2011 12:25:45 AM 622 Views
That sort of challenge actually makes it more difficult for the more well-read readers, I'd think Larry - 22/02/2011 02:48:23 AM 748 Views
Re: Isn't that also the point? To stretch your limits, however far out they might be? Danae al'Thor - 22/02/2011 04:54:26 AM 900 Views
After a while, it becomes much easier to forget which have been read than to remember which haven't Larry - 22/02/2011 05:07:49 AM 628 Views

It doesn't have to be a country that still exists. Tom - 22/02/2011 05:56:34 AM 762 Views

I have that problem Camilla - 22/02/2011 02:45:11 PM 665 Views
Perhaps I don't make that assumption because I read some unusual books. Tom - 22/02/2011 08:14:42 PM 885 Views
Only that I take you for one of the few people who are more widely-read than I am, that's all *NM* Larry - 22/02/2011 04:20:35 PM 272 Views
