My dearest blog enthusiasts,
After several conversations which have convinced me that there are those in the internet world who actually read and enjoy this blog with some regularity, I realize that I should explain the reason for my absence.
Just in case you were terrified that I was NOT going to finish my task, FEAR NOT! I am merely on hiatus. I am in the process of applying to graduate school (dual degree programs in law and public policy, in case you're interested) and have had to study for and take the GRE and the LSATS in the last six months. After the LSATs, I was hard at work on my applications, and now I am finally ready to return to my lovely books.
I have just finished Great Expectations and will be blogging about it soon - perhaps tonight, perhaps later in the week.
So for those of you who have missed my blogs, look forward to a new one soon. In other news, I'm looking for fellow book-lovers to do "read-alongs" with me in the coming weeks so that I can have reading partners and they can share alternate perspectives. They're welcome to share a blog entry alongside mine, or just thoughts and ideas. I've got takers for A Tale of Two Cities and War and Peace but I'd love for anyone to join me for any of the other ones coming up on my list.
Off to a crackling fire, back in a jiffy!
I gave myself the task of reading 100 "classic" novels. After six years, I finished those 100, and have moved on to tackle another 100. Here are the rules I designed: (1) I must start AND finish every book. (2) I must read every book, including the ones I've already read. (3) I'm required to read all books in a series. No exceptions. (4) I'm not allowed to blog about a book before I've finished it; each book deserves its fair shot, cover to cover.
