The Book Thief is also amazing!
I might have to join you in reading The Iliad/The Odyssey, The Idiot and Demons!
Lian,thank you very much, and good luck for you too :)
Holly,
T. S. Eliot is my favorite poet too, and Prufrock is my all time favorite poem! I read it maybe over a thousand times :) thank you very much ^_^

I plan to read some Proust this year, too, so maybe we can encourage each other as we go. :)
Faye, that's great :) I heard that In Search of Lost Time is pretty good. I'm sure we will enjoy reading it. Good luck for us both ^_^
Oh I know Narin! Please don't tempt me!! I feel like I should give up everything and go read it right now :)Thank you very much :)

Do iiiiiit!
Emad - best of luck with your list. You have some great picks there to start you on your goal. The Iliad and The Odyssey are some of my favourites. I would love to hear what you think of them when you finish.
Sure :)Thank you very much Kassandra, and good luck to you too ^_^
For your Bible read through, there are a number of websites that break it down into a schedule - reading only a couple of chapters per day. I thought that it might be easier for you (it would be for me!) to do it this way rather than sitting down to read 29 chapters of 1 Chronicles, which might drag a bit. :)Good luck!!
Hey Emad my church is doing the bible reading challenge too and we are doing 3 chapters a day starting out like yesterday was Genesis 1-3 and today is 4-6 then tomorrow is 7-9 and Saturday is 10-12 and then we get new days and chapter scripture readings each week from our church bulletin as they post the dates and chapters there. My mom are doing that one together. Good luck though! Enjoy the graveyard book too.
Francine, thank you so much. I'm taking it slow. yesterday, I read chapters 1 & 2, and today I read 3 & 4. Good luck to you too ^_^Amber, I wish I could join you actually! by the way, I'm reading both Old and New Testaments! on my iPad, the whole book is like 5000 pages!! you started yesterday with Genesis, so I guess you're reading the new testament, right? -- to be honest, I don't know the difference btwn Old and New Testaments!!!! don't freak out!!! it's weird I know!
wish me luck :)
No genesis is old testament. so we are doing the whole bible.
really? aha! Great :) I've reached chapter 5.Tomorrow I'm gonna read 6 - 9 so I can catch up with you.thank you very much Amber :)
No problem at all Emad. My church is giving us the dates for the bible reading challenge every Sunday so we only got the dates for Jan 1-4 so far and Saturday is genesis 10-12. I'm reading 4-6 tonight before bed as my bible is on my desk near my bed and my journal so I don't forget to do it. I'm doing this with my regular reading challenge too. :)
Good luck Amber :) I'd really appreciate it if you'd keep me posted on the dates. Thanks ^_^
I will sure do that Emad. ^_^ No problem.
