Garlan ✌ I've finished both of our AUG reads, and am awaiting arrival of "Winesburg, Ohio", which should arrive this week. I have a copy of "Shane" that I picked up last week. I'm guessing the format should look something likethis that we can add to as we go along:

Garlan ✌ I finished Fahrenheit 451 today. Overall, pretty good. I thought the beginning and ending were stronger than the middle portion. 3 1/2 stars.
