For 2013, I am aiming for 70 books. In 2011, I made sure my reading list included the entire Jane Austen canon. Last year, I hoped to read several classics and some Shakespeare. I didn't finish my Shakespeare challenge, so I am continuing that this year.<br /><br />I had the same trouble getting started with Jane Eyre, but once I got past the first couple chapters, I really loved the book. It's Wuthering Heights I cannot get into. LOL Les Mis is on my reading list for this year, as is The Scarlet Pimpernel.<br /><br />I have a book blog at: http://justasecondblog.blogspot.com/ if you'd like to visit. I moved it to blogger recently and it's still really quiet.

You are encouraging me to figure out what a realistic reading goal would be for this year.<br /><br />I don't think I'm going to be adventurous enough to try Les Mis yet. Addison is reading it right now, and it's slow going for her. She's my avid, fast reader so that saying a lot. Besides, it's over 1200 pages. I think I'll start with shorter classics until I get into a reading habit.Cristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07032299329910192166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2400013537237976584.post-14309207932991328932013-01-10T19:30:11.178-08:002013-01-10T19:30:11.178-08:00I think reading is a great goal!

I think Shel Silverstein is a good addition, have fun!Nikkihttp://rushedmommy.comnoreply@blogger.com
