I should make a Big Fish list - except I should make sure whatever books are on the list are books I actually want to read (obviously "The Three Musketeers" wouldn't be on there. Lol)Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12985087261053036102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3839071401786412746.post-72835291200351099622017-06-05T12:24:55.467-04:002017-06-05T12:24:55.467-04:00I'm glad the analogy makes sense to someone! T...I'm glad the analogy makes sense to someone! The first time I tried to explain it to Cody, he looked at me like I was a nut-job. LOL! That's really how I think of them in my mind though. I think so far this year I've read just as many (if not more) that aren't on my list as ones that are. Haha! Oh well. Considering my list is only 12 books this year, I'm still going at a pretty good rate to read them all.

Oliver Twist was much easier than I anticipated it would be, since I didn't get far the first time I tried. The complete works of Shakespeare is becoming a lifetime goal, but I may give myself a pass on reading ones that I've seen performed. I've gotten through at least 3 books off list so far this year, with another in the mail. One of them was an unabridged version of George MacDonald's Sir Gibbie, which may have been around 1,000 pages in the Project Gutenberg version.Jen Ulrichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04606045570348116684noreply@blogger.com
