My goal: read at least 50 books over the next 12 months
I started with the chronicles of Narnia - too much sugar. Really not my thing, but it counts as seven books!
I have an old print out of the top 150 novels of the 20th Century*. I've only read 38 of 150. I hope I can find some of the classics second hand at Goodwill. Ones I already own, like 'To the Lighthouse' and 'Rabbit Run,' I am never in the mood to read.**
*I printed off this list at least 10 years ago
**This is normal, right?
