My Project

I am an avid reader who has decided to embark on quite a daunting project. I love classic novels, and I decided that it would be challenging and interesting to read the list of 100 classic novels. But when I found quite a few lists, I realized that I would have to cross off the ones I had already read and make myself a new list. My plan is to read all of these... however long that takes (probably a while!) and write one entry per book, kind of summing up my thoughts. My goal is to read five of these before I go back to college in the fall. So here is my project, the Novel 100 Project.
(This is a project I "started" almost exactly one year ago, on May 30, 2010. However, I never finished the book I started, and have only now actually read one on my list. So a year later, and one down. Not a good track record! Better get moving.)
