Well done, Karen. Quite a landmark - and what a book to reach it with!

[Frances]

If I completed all the books on my shelf of the 1001 Books it would number 134. I have read 80 of them. I am trying for one a month, but always other books have to be read also. Life happens. Love the challenge though.

Ulysses? I am at 167 books and that one and The Sound and the Fury were the hardest for me.
