interesting list, i am going to try to read some of the books on this list. I read Atonement, that was such a great book. Even though, i cried so much. I’m still young and i am trying to read as much as possible.

Yay!! Finally hit 5% – I have so far to go, but am glad to have hit this marker with a Dickens novel.

A Tale of a Tub — 39 weeks ago

Has anyone read Jonathan Swift’s A Tale of a Tub? I’m reading it online through DailyLit.com and finding it occasionally heavy-going but otherwise ok and very funny. I’m blogging my review at anzlitlovers.wordpress.com but have not yet published it because I am only half way through.

Up to 26% — 43 weeks ago

I’m up to 26% now, partly because I’ve joined the 1% Well-Read Challenge, see http://anzlitlovers.wordpress.com/challenges/the-1-well-read-challenge/ aiming to read 10 books in 10 months each year.

I still think this list is too loaded with modern fiction. Will people seriously be reading all these books 200 years from now?

Starting out at 5% — 44 weeks ago

Well, with all the things I’ve read before I’m starting out at 5%. Now I’m trying to figure out what to read first!
