2016 Reading Challenge

Nothing like a list to get motivated, right? Thanks to the wonder of social media sharing, I recently came across a meaty 2016 Reading Challenge list. The checklist items are broad – allowing individual users to choose their own books. <– Here’s

Portrait of a Lady

Warning: Spoilers I have a natural affinity for Americans, being one myself. What’s more, I feel particular kinship to Yankees who end up in strange lands, as I myself have. The Portrait of a Lady, written by Henry James and

Rebecca

Spoilers. Beware. Man Review: Don’t bother reading the book, but watch the movie. Regular Review: Rebecca, by Daphne Du Maas;dfladfj (I’m too lazy too look up the last name), started out as a Jane Austen kinda tale. A less than awesomely

Bleak House (Ironic Title)

This post is where I do two things. One is I tell you that I discovered this program from Amazon where I can kill two selfish birds with one stone: A. I can post pictures of book covers without worrying

Wuthering Heights

My real life friends will support me when I say that I have a very low tolerance for unhealthy relationships. So Wuthering Heights was doomed from the beginning. For your sake, I will provide a brief synopsis and some attempt at an

Anna Karenina

FINALLY I am done reading this book. Man review: don’t bother. Nothing about this book will interest you. Lady review: don’t bother. Ditto the rest. Long version includes “spoilers,” which I put into quotation marks because it doesn’t matter whether

Dracula

I finished Dracula last week, but due to several freak occurrences in quick succession, I wasn’t able to post my enthralling review of said classic. This review would not be complete without mentioning the Twilight series, which has gained supernova

Crime and Punishment

Ok, I’m just going to say it: Crime & Punishment is not for me. You know how I know this? Because I actually fell asleep while reading this book. That’s when I knew it was time to stop. You have to understand

Alice, You Are Ridiculous

In keeping with my new resolution to read more favorites and classics from the motherland, I finished Alice in Wonderland today. I didn’t commit to Through the Looking Glass and that was a mistake, because apparently I missed all the

Cabbages & Kings

Men: O. Henry wrote this book. It was pretty short, and kind of random. There’s a war and some people get murdered. Good guys win, with a twist. Everyone else: First off, it’s free. The book is a classic, past
