Now With Titles

Some books I've read since June 29th (date of last post)

  1. Goodnight Nobody---Jennifer Weiner
  2. Never Let Me Go---Kazuo Ishiguro
  3. Some more that I can't remember right now. Clearly, they left a big impression
I would like to read 50 books this year in accordance with various 50 book challenges floating around. I have also instituted my personal Summer Reading Challenge: to finish Wuthering Heights. I've started that dumb thing at least 8 times, but this time it's going to be different. I'm going to grit my teeth and get past the part where Catherine dumps Heathcliff or marries his brother or his cousin or whatever, whoever, whenever, who cares!?! This book has been a bit frustrating to me in the past.

Let me catch my breath here. My passion against this book got the best of me.

So, since I can't remember what the heck I've read, I guess I can't count them in my tally. That'll show her, myself says to myself. I've tallied up 20 based on the posts I've made here, including the two above. With five months left in the year, I know I can read 30 books. Whether I can read 30 books, clean the house, harvest the garden, cook the dinners, wash the clothing, and mow the lawn remains to be seen. But, yeah, probably I can.

So here goes.

As an English Lit major, WH was one of my most loathed books! So I feel your pain. I hated Katherine. What a baby.
