Mod
I think that's an excellent excuse to make a challenge for this one! *applause*
Hey! A Confederacy of Dunces is on there twice. Since it's on the Bowie list, I might get around to it this year, but damned if I'm reading it twice!
I got distracted at 20 some. I'm surprised how many I've read.
OK, it's 67, but there's also two The Collected Stories
Oh, and I should claim Wuthering Heights. I aced the test on it when we were supposed to read it in high school, despite only having read a two-page precis.
I've only read 85; looks like I need to get reading! Yay! I absolutely love this challenge! Can I share it with my book club? :)
Mod
Sure, we don't have copyright over it, but we're about to create a challenge for it on this group as well, so it would be nice if you joined it! I'll post a link once done.
I'll definitely join and direct others toward the challenge as well. Thanks, Traveller!
