 Posted: Wed Feb 07, 2007 2:38 pm Post subject: Challenge Books read in 2007 |
 |
|
To see how we're all doing, please list here the books you've read as part of the Challenge and update them as and when.
I'm going to create a list at the end of the year showing how many of us read certain books, who read the most, how many took part etc.
(I did start listing everything here, but it was becoming too time consuming, and it will be fun to see the results at the end of the year. 
1001 Books List

I've read Slow Man - the first one I've read since beginning the challenge, although I had read some of the others on the list before starting it.

Are these the books we have read only since starting the challenge? If so, I have only read Slow Man since I started, but planning on reading Unless by Carol Shields sometime in March.

Thanks  So many of them look really good, it's hard to know where to start. But I think the next one I read for the challenge is going to be Unless.

I've not read any yet  I get so easily distracted  Though if 'Sunset Song' is on it I could count that. Will have to check.
