It was a really slow read for me. I am glad I actually finished it...I thought about giving up a few times.

Well it took me almost a month but I finally finished Ulysses by James Joyce. I am not quite sure yet what I think about this book. It is definitely not the worst book I have ever read but I can't say I would rate it up there in my top 100 either. I have given it 3 stars for now but I may review it at a later date.

This is a great challenge.. I have been meaning to pick up a Colleen McCullough book for ages. I have never read any of her books. So my list is

2. A New Author - Obernewtyn by Isobelle Carmody

3. A Tribute to Colleen McCullough - Naked Cruelty

4. A Male Author - TBC

I have heard mixed reviews on that one, I will be very interested in your review when you are done."

The story is different but the names of the characters are confusing as they are very similar. I do not think I will ever read it again and my star rating will only be 2 1/2 stars.

my 20th book isOne Hundred Years of Solitude

Finished my 18th Book Middlemarch. This book was for #6 Aussie Reader friend top 5 favourite for 2014. I really enjoyed this book and I give it 4 stars. My 19th book will be Clariel by Garth Nix.
