Once I cut out those genres I don't really enjoy, I did find some hidden gems just waiting to be plucked. Maybe this year I'll try to finish all the books I have before getting new ones..... yeah ...like that will happen.Neil Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13023957663164567385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195356832263192713.post-14528222303556654172009-01-02T10:34:00.000-05:002009-01-02T10:34:00.000-05:00I spent years reading almost nothing but the class...I spent years reading almost nothing but the classics. I loved Jane Austen, Walter Scott, F.

Happily, I have at least read <I>Pride and Prejudice</I> (my first time this year, actually). Maybe that's my problem. . . I've been catching up on classics like Fahrenheit 451 rather than reading debut novels this year. Hmm. Maybe more of a mix is called for this year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195356832263192713.post-43773093373391263612009-01-01T16:05:00.000-05:002009-01-01T16:05:00.000-05:00Love the list!
