At the moment I'm fighting the urge to come up with a definitive list of books to read for The From the Stacks Reading Challenge since a) I'm hoping to read many more than five anyway and b) I'm focusing more on the don't-acquire- new-books part of the challenge, but I'm sure enjoying seeing the lists of participants and books at Overdue Books.
I have to be at the polls at 6 tomorrow morning. I'll be taking Stendhal's The Red and the Black, Kate Atkinson's One Good Turn, and Diane Smith's Letters from Yellowstone with me. I expect to have plenty of time to read between voters.

ReplyDeleteI had such a hard time coming up with a definitive list for the challenge. I hope I can keep to it.
It is very hard to decide when most of my shelves are groaning under the weight of unread books!
