Hi, I've read 17% of the books and I'm aiming to get to 20% by the end of the year (fingerscrossed).
Yesterday I finished the okay The House of Spirits by Allende, and a few weeks ago the marvellous Fugitive Pieces, Michaels.
This weekend I'm hoping to tackle Watchmen

17%?! I'm at a measly 4.9%... I am very jealous. Nice work! Let me know how Watchmen goes. There's so much buzz about it, curiosity is certainly killing this cat.

Watchmen is taking forever, I feel like I will never finish it!

Keep at it! I know particularly the non-comic parts tend to read slowly, but it's such a worthwhile experience!

One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich ticked off the list

Stealing Sara's way of listing the books - hopefully will prompt me to read some of the older ones.

These two need working on!

707. We finished, well skimmed the end as I wasn't enjoying it

Sesaon of Migration to the North by Tayeb Salih an excellent if very strange read, shame about the rubbish book cover

Reading A Suitable Boy and Les Miserables both as read-a-longs at the moment. The Les Miserables read-a-long starts on the LT 1010 challenge forum early November
