Ok, now it's a challenge...

I'm half temped to write it if it doesn't exist. Not that I don't have enough writing projects already.

Raven Rebecca wrote: "Dumb question:

A satyrical book? Not satirical (?)

So, a book about a satyr? I didn't know that's how you described such a thing (?)

Suggestions for such a book? Anything recent/modern?"

That was what I thought!
I counted Redshirts for this category and I'm interested in William Shakespeare's Star Wars: Verily, A New Hope. Close enough.

If you want satyrs, Chronicles of Narnia is an easy fit.

I've re-read some childhood books, but I think I've reread them since high school.

And done. My list is in post 6.

Well done on completing it all! I'm reading book 35/39 at the moment and that's probably my last one so will miss completing it by 4 :-/

I just finished too! Post 13

I went 27/39! Pretty proud of myself for my first reading challenge. Looking forward to 2017's challenge. :)
