Classic Challenge

The goal was to read 5 classics in January and February. What did I read? Not a single one of the five I had listed. I thought I might at least make it through 2-3, but with a reading slump that was just not happening. So this challenge I failed completely.

New goal: read the five books in the remaining 10 months of 2007.

Reminder:
Silas Marner
Moby Dick
Day & Night
For whom the Bell Tolls
Walden

TBR Book 2

I have started book 2 for the tbr challenge this morning. Inspector Montalban will be my train reading for the moment. I have actually finished a book (The Ghost and Mrs. McClure) since posting about my reading funk, but am still starting book after book and not going through with any of them. Very bad when you consider that I should read 5 classics till the end of this month for the Classics Challenge. Guess that one I will not meet. But at least I am keeping up with the tbr.

Classics Challenge

I have decided to accept the classics challenge. This should likely count to my TBR challenge as well, but let me try stretching myself and adding those on.

I chose the following:

Moby Dick
Walden
For Whom the Bell Tolls
Night & Day
Silas Marner

That is likely rather ambitious, but at least it should get me started.
