What's another challenge?! :) I have been trying to prioritise the chunksters so maybe this is the push I need to move those up the pile. I have read a few already this year so will update those soon. I want to read Suitable Boy and Infinite Jest in the near future.

Welcome and good luck with removing the chunksters before structural damage happens!

hi and welcome - I'm also new and also have Infinite Jest lurking...
Good luck with your reading, I'm looking forward to hearing what you think of your two chunksters. :)

Welcome and enjoy the chunksters.

Welcome Yells, both Infinite Jest and A Suitable Boy are great reads, plus the satisfaction you get from having actually read them !

Outlander and Dragonfly in Amber by Gabaldon. Both rereads - I will perhaps progress beyond book four this time.

>9 Yells: Yes, please do! I've read every book in the series twice and loved them even better the second time around.

Voyager by Gabaldon.
I didn't think the series would be so long so I was going to wait for her to finish and then read them through. But since that could be the twelfth of never, I have some catching up to do!

Drums of Autumn by Gabalon

1001 Arabian Nights by Scott. A year long project finally completed.
14Yells
Testament of Youth by Brittain. A wonderful memoir of World War I and women's rights.
15Yells
The Woman in White by Collins. A rather gripping mystery that kept me reading all day.

>15 Yells: Glad you enjoyed The Woman in White, it's on my TBR pile for 2018!
17Yells
Blonde by Oates. An interesting mix of fact and fiction about the short life of Norma Jeanne Baker/Marilyn Monroe.
18Yells
From Here to Eternity by Jones. 851 pages. Loved the movie but was rather bored with the book. Way too long for the story he was telling. There were enough interesting bits to keep me going though.
