What did you think of it, Tricia? I couldn't decide if I liked it or not. I kept going back and forth, but eventually gave it 3/5 stars.

The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas

Congratulations, Kaitlin! I'm still getting through it. I like it a lot though!

Congratulations, Kaitlin! I'm still getting through it. I like it a lot though!"

I'm glad you like it! It was definitely worth the time it takes to read.

Just finished my first book for this challenge!

Life of Pi - Yann Martel

Only two and they are new ones not the classics, I just have never been able to get into them for some reason. Will stick with my newer fiction :)

Okay three more now I go back and read....wow I am horrible...only 5 of them.

Have any of you guys read The Master and Margarita yet? I'm over 100 pages in and just don't get it. I was curious if anybody had read it lately and liked it so I can maybe get into it more.

I have't but plan on it in like March?

Want to do a buddy read? That would probably be a lot more fun that just finishing it for the sake of it!

I loved it, but it was absolutely bizarre and took multiple tries to get into. Stick with it.

Yes, but I really can't commit until March! I'm still needing to commit to Count, but school is getting in the way!

Kara wrote: "I loved it, but it was absolutely bizarre and took multiple tries to get into. Stick with it."

That's good to hear, Kara! I'll try it again in a bit.

Sounds good, Kelsi.

Here is my update: I have read 2/32 for this challenge so far. I have read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl, and The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. Working on my third one right now (A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle).

I think I might jump on this one too. I just counted and I have only read 36 of them!

So will put my goal down as 14 for the year, to bring me up to 50 overall.

That may be a little over committed though but will see how I go!!!

I've read 35 so my goal is to read 15 to get me up to 50 too.

I loved The Princess Bride. I had seen the movie a hundred times, but reading the book made it all come to life in such a new way. Read it out loud with my fiance and we both had to take frequent laughing breaks. How did you like it?

Craig wrote: "How was it? Heard a lot of good things about it and just added it to my TBR"

The Poisonwood Bible was one of my favorite books in high school, but I haven't reread it in a LONG time.

I really enjoyed The Poisonwood Bible. For some reason it was a slow read for me but I highly recommend it.

Participation List!
I'm heading this group now! There are soooo many of you. I had to add some last names. Let me know if I'm missing anyone.
