OK. I've changed my mind. And anyone who knows me gets pretty used to that in a hurry!
I've decided to plunge in and officially sign up for the Decades Reading Challenge. I don't know why this makes me nervous. It can't be the commitment to read. Making reading lists is pretty much a necessary life function for me. Kind of like breathing. A girl has to have goals, right? :-) It's probably just this newness to the whole blogging world.
So here's the Official List. Books I've finished are in bold.

ReplyDeleteI loved Mrs. Dalloway and Brave New World. That's great that you can chip away at the 1001 books list. Very ambitious!
ReplyDeleteChain Reader ~ I can't stick to one list, so slipping books from the 1001 List into various Challenges keeps me plugging away at it without making it feel like a required reading list. :-)
