Please reserve classics for me (replacing childhood, which I hope I just hit).

Done

Noted on the planning thread.

I have wanted to read that one for a while, Lynn.

Done, Coralie.

Susan wrote: "I think the is missing in message 5 again."

Thanks Susan. LOL, this time I put in an extra character. Stupid fingers ;P Good catch.

You are just banging them out Amy. I am in awe!"

Well, at least it puts a positive spin on the flu, lol. Hope you are feeling better soon!

S0 - if 1889 is missing on the list above, that means that it was a double up?

Tien - Did you miss Amy's post #33. I don't see it on the reporting lists above. OR am I just missing it, cuz we all know that is possible, lol.

I have to agree with you and Tien on this one. I love magical realism, myself, but this book just did not do it for me. :)

It's all yours Amy

OK, I have some Mark Twain I have been dying to read:

1889 - A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court
1886 - Letters from Hawaii

I'll take those two

Dee wrote: "if I aim for reading all the Holmes books - I have the following years: 1887; 1890; 1892; 1893; 1901; 1905; 1915; 1917; 1927"

I am already reading all of the Sherlock Holmes books for another challenge this year, so If you don't want to do that, I can. I will look around to see what other older stuff I have, too. I know I have a lot of Mark Twain and such.

Or we can split them :)

i will have to go check that out, Susan. I suspect that you and Coralee are right, that will be the biggest part of this challenge.

I agree with Tien and D.G. Get the ones out of the way that are more specific and attack the pages one last, or if I read a book that doesn't fit anywhere else.

I know you are a planner, though, Dee> :)

Too many lists, but I appreciate the comments. We all know that I am not perfect, so at any given time I am apt to miss things.

Oh ya, I got that one too, lol.
