Have you read your Classic yet?


I have read The Pillow Book, Brideshead Revisited, Heart of a Dog and Persuasion, all of which qualify, I think.

Edit: wait. It was supposed to be a new one, wasn't it? So Sei Shonagon or Bulgakov, then.

And keep the reviews coming. They've been great to read.


I have only reviewed the first. I will try to do something about this in the mythical future time when I have time on my hands.

Next month's challenge: Read a book by an author from a country you've not read a book from before.


Hmm. I had some trouble with this, but I think I can get away with modern Iran or modern Egypt.

Oh. I didn't quite understand how it worked. Thank you for clarifying. Now if I can just remember Tashmere - 22/02/2011 12:25:45 AM 579 Views
That sort of challenge actually makes it more difficult for the more well-read readers, I'd think Larry - 22/02/2011 02:48:23 AM 706 Views
Re: Isn't that also the point? To stretch your limits, however far out they might be? Danae al'Thor - 22/02/2011 04:54:26 AM 858 Views
After a while, it becomes much easier to forget which have been read than to remember which haven't Larry - 22/02/2011 05:07:49 AM 589 Views

It doesn't have to be a country that still exists. Tom - 22/02/2011 05:56:34 AM 721 Views

I have that problem Camilla - 22/02/2011 02:45:11 PM 624 Views
Perhaps I don't make that assumption because I read some unusual books. Tom - 22/02/2011 08:14:42 PM 840 Views
Only that I take you for one of the few people who are more widely-read than I am, that's all *NM* Larry - 22/02/2011 04:20:35 PM 255 Views
