So reading my first Charles Dickens And I picked Great Expectations as I read in this article More than half of us lie about reading classic novels This will make the 3rd book on this list I have finished. I would like to clear the whole list.

This year I have read

Fahrenheit 451
The Bell Jar
The Wonderful World of Oz: The Wizard of Oz / The Emerald City of Oz / Glinda of Oz
The Catcher in the Rye

To Kill a Mockingbird
Mrs. Dalloway
The Scarlet Letter

Of all this which I have come to love To Kill a Mockingbird, is my favorite

Okay, late to the party just starting today.
I made it though the introduction and can see why that part was panned by many reviewers. So much so he wrote a funny go screw yourself second preface stating that it is perfect as is response. I can respect that. Still I found it long but once past that I am enjoying the main story.

Hello name is Michael.
I live in Albuquerque NM and work for HP.

I Love finding new and classic books, talking to people who enjoy and understand what it means to be passionate about reading. I enjoy several good cups of coffee a day and it always makes me smile. I dislike the close minded who are mean to others. I was able to finish last month read Mrs. Dalloway and jumping in to this months read today.
