  2. Happy New Year, Mari! Congratulations on a job well done!

    I bow out of the Man Booker Challenge with just one book short because I couldn’t get into neither of the remaining selections. I’m going to be more cautious with reading challenges this year. I might chime along and pick up a few books but probably won’t overdo it. I like to be spontaneous. :)

    In 2009 I would like to relate my reading and writing experiences through blogging. Until i started blogging, both reading and writing have been very private, keeping to myself in the Moleskine notebook. Blogging forces me to make the connection between my random skeins of thoughts into making them coherent and readable to other readers.

    I plan to tackle a few epic chunksters this year like Les Miserables and Gone with the Wind. I try to find at least one reading partner to read these giants. Also I would like to get out of my comfort zone of fiction to see more essays, memoirs and non-fiction.

  3. Kara- Thanks!

    Lenore- Great minds think alike, right? :)

    Matt-Happy New Year. Good luck with those books. I have not read either one. Yes, comfort zone. I have tried to read books other than fiction but it just doesn't go as well as I plan. I tend to not finish the books. :)
