Be sure to read Memoirs of a Geisha! It's one of my favorite all-time reads. Great book for a Book Club discussion, too.

Thanks for the tip. I definitely will start with that book. I also am just finishing up my first year doing the Popsugar challenge. I am going to do it again in 2018 and am going to see how many books I can use from this list to complete the prompts on that list. It definitely stretched what I read both of these challenges help me read more.

Looking forward to reading even more books in 2018, and some from older time periods to broaden my reading choices.

I have started On the Road about 3-4 times in the last 30 years and never seem to finish, always somehow seem to lose the book before I get to end. Hopefully I will finally finish it this year.
