ohdani's books for 2011

Alright. I am so new to this thread/message board thing on this site that I'm sure I'll do something wrong, but I figured I would give it a go anyway. Forgive me for being a *n00b*.

Before I even start this thread, I'd like to point out that I know, realistically, 75 books might more than I can even hope to shoot for this year. There's a lot going on, but I like having a goal like this. Having this at the back of my mind keeps me reading as much as possible. I'm also *slightly* embarrassed by some of the books that I haven't read yet. Some of my books are classics that as someone who holds a degree in English, I really should have read a dozen times by now. I'm hoping that by keeping an on-going list here, I'll be more inclined to keep up with my reading, even if I can't keep up with the other members who can read so many books so quickly. So, here it goes.

1.) Little Women by Louisa May Alcott (finished 1/1/11)
2.) Brave New World by Aldous Huxley (finished 1/12/11)
3.) Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden (finished 1/16/11)
4.) Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky (finished 1/31/11)
5.) Enchantment by Orson Scott Card (finished 2/5/11)
6.)The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde (finished 2/7/11)
7.)The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins (finished 2/10/11)
8.)Neverwhere by Neil Gaimon (finished 2/12/11)
9.)The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood (finished 2/16/11)

As of 2/17/11, I'm reading Outlander by Diana Gabaldon.

Oh, Dani! You are most welcome here especially because you're a *noob*! And I am personally delighted when another English major chimes in. We'll be interested to see what you're reading and what you think of it all year.
Did you love *Geisha*? How is *C&P* going? Keep us posted!

Welcome!

Thank you! I did enjoy Memoirs of a Geisha quite a bit! I wasn't sure what to expect because a friend of mine wasn't really thrilled with it, but the reviews are all so positive. I wound up liking it so much that I had to actually slow myself down while reading it. Such a sad, compelling life and the book was very well-written.

And Crime and Punishment seems to be taking me forever, but I like it so far. I guess I'll have to see how I feel when I finish it.

Welcome to the group, Danielle!
