I would LOVE to read the new Stephen King one too, but I agree about too many big books right now!! We should consider that one at some point though!Tif Sweeneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06015299390676538748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7450516531437589191.post-30809800938442557742012-01-25T18:07:08.089-07:002012-01-25T18:07:08.089-07:00Up to position 47 now ... this isn't exactly g...Up to position 47 now ... this isn't exactly going by as fast as I thought it would! I know I will have my copy for just as long as it takes me to start reading it and then add about two days for the actual reading. ;) I almost put the new Stephen King on hold today but I want to get this one and read it first. Too many big books to read right now!Kristen M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02335598194501733541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7450516531437589191.post-20380676505213561092012-01-19T21:02:51.502-07:002012-01-19T21:02:51.502-07:00Kristen M. ...

Yay! It would be a perfect break from the Dickens project I'm starting then too.

Have Bleak House, Madame Bovary, Leaves of Grass, Daisy Miller, Vanity Fair, House of Mirth, and several others. The read-a-long sounds like a good idea! What unread classics do you have?Alexia561https://www.blogger.com/profile/10797515620050469395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7450516531437589191.post-48570851928040540512012-01-12T21:02:53.046-07:002012-01-12T21:02:53.046-07:00Scientist ...

I go through spurts of reading multiple books at one time! I'm trying not to do that so much these days! That's a really good point about the trial and error working later! I will not throw out my tools, just in case! And, I'm so glad you enjoy these new posts! :)<br /><br />Jenny Beatrice ... I have not read either of those, but Beloved has been on my list. I really need to get to that one!<br /><br />Alexia561 ... Which classics are in your stack? Maybe we can do a read-a-long?!? Sometimes that can help in getting those read!Tif Sweeneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06015299390676538748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7450516531437589191.post-43207150746588017642012-01-10T19:46:16.568-07:002012-01-10T19:46:16.568-07:00Good for you for sticking with The Count of Monte ...Good for you for sticking with The Count of Monte Cristo! I have a stack of classics by my bed that I keep promising myself I'll read, but they're still sitting there.

Some I have already read in high school myself, like The Stanger, and some are new to me, like Beloved, which was amazing.Jenny Beatricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08652084549641485912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7450516531437589191.post-81184449160526247342012-01-10T06:50:31.848-07:002012-01-10T06:50:31.848-07:00Congrats on your son's game. :) As far as read...Congrats on your son's game. :) As far as reading, I have no clue. Before I went on vacation, I had a bookmark in four books and I couldn't tell you the titles to save my life right now. I do plan on getting back to those tonight though. <br /><br />As far as writing, that's where I am. It's all trial and error. And what doesn't work now might work at a later time. <br /><br />BTW, I love this new Monday post.
