You may have heard of Peter Boxall's 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die. Many of us probably have a persona..."

I've read four so far this quarter: American Pastoral, The Hours, Contact and The Wind up Bird Chronicles. I'm currently (slowly) reading The Name of the Rose and will read The Blind Assasin next month

Hi :) I'm new here but would love to join in. I'd like to challenge myself to 5 from this list. so far I've read (since January 1st):

1. Oryx and Crake
2. The Left-Handed Woman
3. Black Water

Currently reading We and will aim to read one more, most likely from a list on here.

Finished all 5, last one put down today. lol wasn't sure I would make it through Catch-22. Interesting, depressing, confusing read for me, but I have a feeling that might have been the emotions the author was trying to get through to the audience.
