A pretty good list, all in all. I've read 23 of them (although considering some were series, I think that should count for more). There were a lot in there where I either started to read the book but never finished, or I just watched the movie instead. I'm guessing those don't count....
Love the list!
ReplyDeleteAs far as "Life of Pi" goes, my advice is keep reading. (Obviously I don't know how far you are, but the first 100 pages can be challenging to some.). I'd love to know what you think when you're done.
Thanks for the encouragement! I've just started, and it's definitely a bit slow-going. But as long as I know it gets better, I'll keep pushing through. :-)
ReplyDeleteFun list! "Atonement" and "The Power of One" are two of my favorite books by contemporary authors, if ever you're looking for future reading suggestions.
