Also reading a Russian fiction book written by an emigre in 1981, and need to get back to a few things I set aside.
I am taking up two reading challenges this year: (1) 50 book challenge and (2) not to buy any new books (other than the ones I preordered last year, of course 
). If I continue the second challenge I still won't run out of books to read for at least 15 years.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

Ummaka qinnassa nīk!

I've decided that 2016 is the year that I make a sizeable dent in the classics

I would start with Mansfield Park as it's the most boring.

Seconded. Every likeable character in Mansfield Park is, apparently, considered a villain.

Fantasy rereads, for a change - feeling nostalgic, I guess.

It wasn't exactly a major plot point or anything. But it was ugly.

Merill? Merith? Something like that?

Merel, yes. Kind of odd to see a Dutch name popping up in a Norse setting, but okay.
