View topic - Rot's Reading List

I've been known to go a bit OTT with my expectations, and what with work and college and the mountains of DVDs I have to watch, I'm setting my target very low this year. The most I've managed in the past is 79. >n<

I will only be counting books I own and finish between 01.01.2012 and 31.12.2012.
Maybe every now and then I'll write a bit about the book I've read.

My target is 50 books. (15,000 pages if each book is 300 pages long).

Rot I've read Middlemarch and Adam Bede both by George Eliot.
I recommend Adam Bede over Middlemarch.
Middlemarch seemed like work to me.

Not that you are asking for recommendations, but...
I loved North and South by Elizabeth Gaskel

I always love recommendations. Anything that leads me to a great book is fine by me!

Truth be told, I was given Middlemarch as a Christmas gift last year and just haven't got round to it, but if I like it in the slightest I shall check out Adam Bede.

The amount you read scares me. I can't find a single second to read anything that I would even want to with university...

Just textbooks D:
