I read The Jungle somewhere around junior high and am glad I never have to read it again. It may have been a contributing factor to me becoming a vegetarian. I've been pondering reading I, Claudius for a while but I have to wait until I get into the right mood for the ancients again.

I didn't think I'd finish in time but I just got it in under the wire.

And how is it that I've read 60 books off my own shelves this year, yet my owned and unread list never goes below 170 for a few days? I know I haven't bought 60 new books this year!Karen K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13483190930383406559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8027299943447728658.post-42980521240130659352014-12-30T23:31:30.076-05:002014-12-30T23:31:30.076-05:00Congratulations on finishing!

And I think I've recommended The Sisters more than any other book this year.

I've had The Sisters on my shelf for years, and really need to read it--love how the sisters took such different paths. The Light Years is on my shelf--want to try to get to it this year.<br /><br />I finished just under the wire too. On to 2015!JaneGShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094501834387622997noreply@blogger.com
