NOTICE: (Updated March 5, 2010)

Beginning December 19, 2009, Books 'N Border Collies will be posting but only intermittently while I pursue personal goals. I plan to share some reading I'm doing, but there will be no reviews. I will, however, be sharing my exploration of vegetarian cooking and the cookbooks and websites I use to educate myself. I hope you enjoy it!

2009 1% Well-Read Challenge



Yay! With all the classics I'm reading this year for my "classes", this should be a breeze! There are three choices for participation, and I'm going for Option Three: Thirteen books from the combined lists of the original and 2008 editions of 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die. So, will that make me 1.3% well-read? :-) I won't make my list now but will fill it in as I go along.

Complete: 13/13 as of Aug. 10, 2009
**FINISHED**

1. Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
2. The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver
3. The Heart of the Matter by Graham Greene
4. Survival In Auschwitz by Primo Levi (Original title: If This Is A Man)
5. Choke by Chuck Palahniuk
6. American Pastoral by Philip Roth
7. The Golden Ass by Lucius Apuleius
8. Waiting for the Barbarians by J.M. Coetzee
