Am going to recalibrate my "stars" award. After I get a little more experience with this, I have to develop a "rubric" to introduce some standardization.

Am surpending ""Slavery by Another Name" (100/406) to re-read "Huckaberry Finn" after a 65 year hiatus. Am keeping "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" (104/644) at hand for when I need to read something "just for fun".

So many of the books on the initial "test" I read so long ago I have only vague impressions of what I thought about them. I'll have to go back to re-read and refresh. E.g., Huckaberry Finn--was an adventure story then, mid-1940s; contraversial now. Both the world and I have changed.
