I just realized that actually.
Thanks, although this is only the second time I have got the 100 task done. I love it but it can be a stretch at times. lol
Haha I don't think I've ever finished them. I wanted to this time, but it was too much work for me to try to find enough number titles. I don't do well with reading plans anyway.
I think Im the same. I always jot down ideas on books to read but then find others that I want to read more and end up finding tasks for them.I was supposed to read A tale of two cities for number 2 but it was boring so I decided to find another Two book. lol
LOL! Surprisingly if it had been me reading it I would have finished it in record time. But that's because I love the movie. Or one of them anyway.But I totally agree! I do that all the time and then the books I planned to read are sitting on the planning list forever and never get marked out.

I think its the writing that turns me off. Ive never been a fan of the classics and when I have to figure out what they are talking about as I read, well it lost me. lol
That I can definitely understand lol. Too bad no one will just translate them all into modern English and sell them only in a way people can read. Then we might read more of them

When we did Romeo & Juliet in English last year, the books my teacher had were basically two different languages lol. On the left it had the original text, and on the right page it had the modern translation. So I guess they're halfway there!
