I kicked myself for not signing up for this last year because I read enough books to meet the requirements. So I signed up this year for the "Mor-book-ly Obese" level, which means reading six 450+-page books (or three 750+-pagers).
I got off to a slow start, but I am catching up. I've now finished three books, am halfway through a fourth, and will be reading a fifth for book club in January. So I will only need to find one more and read it by January 31, 2011 to complete the challenge.
REVIEWS
Three Loves by A. J. Cronin (reviewed here)
Echoes by Maeve Binchy (reviewed here)
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson (reviewed here)
IN THE RUNNING
The Sea, the Sea by Iris Murdoch (which I am halfway through and am reading for my Battle of the Prizes: British Version challenge)
The Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver (which my book club is reading for January)
Them by Joyce Carol Oates (which I am reading for my Battle of the Prizes: American Version challenge)
