334 Started but abandoned due to lack of plot and uncompelling characters. Why should I care?

Good luck. I loved Middlemarch and Rebecca, some great choices on your list :)

Welcome Erich, I hope you enjoy your challenge. I agree Pink Rebecca is a great read.

This is a very interesting list Erich. I'll be curious what you think of Dead Souls. I wanted to like it SO bad, but just couldn't get through it. Good luck!

I have only read 3 of these and I agree that Rebecca and Middlemarch are really good. Enjoy your challenge.

[Katy, Quarterly Long Reads]

I really want to read Dead Souls. You are tempting me to change my list :)

Hi Kathleen, I'm just finishing The Brothers Karamazov, so hopefully I can keep my momentum.
