Catching up Challenge-2013

[Trisha]

I am changing the name of this challenge to the "Catching Up Challenge". Please go back through your lists and only include the ones that you WANT to read! Reading is meant to be positive and enjoyable, not a chore that you don't want to do. The purpose of this challenge is to help people who may have joined the group late or missed reading certain titles, so that you can keep track of what we have read and what you would like to catch up on. You don't have to list everything, just the ones that you would like to catch up on :-)

Trisha of your 20 books I have read 11. Jenny of your 15 books I have read 5. I can't say anthing negative about any of the 16 books. Enjoy your reading.

Hey Bob, just remember that challenges are meant to be fun :-). If there are books that you have no desire to read, you certainly don't have to put it on your list! Books are meant to be enjoyed, not suffered through (unless of course you are in high school). I have no interest in reading "A Clockwork Orange", so I didn't even list it. For this challenge to work, just list the ones that you feel motivated to read :-)

Trisha you are correct reading should be fun. However, that does not seem to be the nature of this challenge, Message #1 "We have amassed quite a bookshelf so far, however, it would appear that the majority of members have read less than half of them. For this challenge, you need to go through the book shelf and list all of the titles that you may have slacked on reading and then strike them off as you finish them. Be sure to add titles if you fall behind on a book during the year. Good luck playing catch up :-)"

Since you asked us to "list all the titles" I figured it was only right to list all my unread books as well as give notice that some will never be read. If I only listed the books I intend to read and succeeded in marking them off it would give the false impression that I have read every book on the groups bookshelf.

Since that will never happen I will never truly complete the challenge. Thats all I was indicating when I listed my unread challenge books.

Caught up in 2013:

1. The Catcher in the Rye - 17/9/2013
2. The Time Machine - 7/7/2013
3. Rebecca - 21/9/2013
4. Journey to the Center of the Earth - 31/7/'13
5. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz - 22/10/'13
6. The Tenant of Wildfell Hall - 28/11/2013
7. East of Eden - 21/12/2013

I think realistically speaking, I should focus on keeping up with the books that I am interested in from now on. I own thirteen books on this list, so I will try to read those before the end of the year and take it from there. There are also quite a few of these in the library.

If I find some of these boring, I will drop them along the way to reflect the edited challenge. For now I will keep all the titles. This is definitely going to be a challenge!

[Katy, Quarterly Long Reads]

Maggie, your list makes me feel much better. I think mine would be just as long. I do like your goal at the end of the list, makes it sound much more doable, you will just have to nominate those you missed for our revisit the shelf reads.

[Katy, Quarterly Long Reads]

Maggie, BTW #26 on your list Jane Eyre is up for June's Revisit the Shelf read. Hope to see you there.

To be honest, I don't see myself reading all these books this year, same reasons that others members already mentioned. But, still, I have a few of these books in my "real" bookshelf, so I could include them in my personal challenge of finishing all those books to read I've been accumulating for ages. I'll give it a try anyway. For a start, nothing better than the upcoming readings.

[Trisha]

I am changing the name of this challenge to the "Catching Up Challenge". Please go back through your lists and only include the ones that you WANT to read!

[Antonio]

Well, actually, I think I had already figured out what you meant with this challenge in the first place. It's just I became "bookly" speaking too greedy. So, I got down to business and this is my new list, much more reasonable, I guess...


1. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
2. The Catcher in the Rye
3. Doctor Zhivago
4. A Farewell to Arms
5. The Great Gatsby
6. A Christmas Carol
7. The Sound and the Fury

18. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

Thanks again!

Of your list, I have read all but these:

13. The Good Soldier
15. Dune
17. The Count of Monte Christo
20. The Woman in White
23. One Hundred Years of Solitude
I am currently reading The Tenent of Wildfell Hall. I guess I should not have said,"I have read all but..." You have a good list here. I need to make my own, but would include most of these.

Hey Janet,
I pulled my list from the books that I have not yet finished from our group bookshelf. You may want to go through our bookshelf to see if there are any titles on there that you missed and would like to read.

[Janet]

These are the books on the list I haven't read. I would read any of them. I don't buy books, so I have to find them in our tiny local library. I can download old classics for free, which makes me very happy as most are not in our library. I am a slow reader and only read a lot in the summer (teacher). I hate poorly written books with predicable events.

Okay, I'm not exactly sure which is the best way for me to start splitting up the list, so I'll just use a 2nd post for that, I suppose. :-p


I need to click on some titles, b/c some I think I might have read a very long time ago, but I need to refresh my memory to be sure. Anyway, for now, I guess breakdown is:

This is my list but I made it very quickly. The ones with no stars are my priority, and the ones with three stars are in the "maybe some day if I feel like it" category. There were several in the list that I didn't even recognize and some authors from whom I might read one book but it doesn't really matter which one. (I'll probably read The Tale of Two Cities from Dickens.) And so many were written in English that I feel I have to branch out more, and I have several Finnish classics that I haven't read yet.
