100 Books in One Year - The Island of Doctor Moreau

Did it really take me six months to read Lorna Doone?! I'm blaming it on the small font size. ;)

Anyway, not only did I finally finish Lorna Doone since I last updated this sorely neglected blog, but I also read The Island of Doctor Moreau. Good stuff.

100 Books in One Year - 2013

Sometime last year I ran across a book reading challenge in which you try to read 100 books in a year starting on your birthday. Well, since I was in the middle of a book on my last birthday, I've decided to modify the rules of the challenge to start at the New Year. I just realized that I actually started a book a day or two after my birthday (Dec 6) so I can follow the real rules of the challenge. I really doubt I'll be able to read 100 books in a year since I tend to choose books that are somewhat long, but that's why it's a challenge, right?

Here is my list of books and I'll update it as I finish a book. The titles that are crossed out are the ones I have finished, and the title not crossed out is the book I am currently reading. I'll also include the page count and date I finished, just for fun.

The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde - 173 pages, finished 1-5-13
Persuasion by Jane Austen - 238 pages, finished 1-31-13
The Time Machine by H.G. Wells - 65 pages, finished 2-10-13
Lorna Doone by R.D. Blackmoore - 378 pages
