chaliepud Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Well done Janet! What would you say the highlights of the challenge have been, what gems did you uncover that you wouldn' have come across otherwise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 Thanks. I'm not sure there were any gems that I was unlikely to have read without this challenge - I managed to choose the majority of them from my Wish List. There were a couple I really struggled with though - and would have given up on if it wasn't for this challenge. Notably A Room With A View by E M Forster (which disappointingly I found to be very dull - I'd been looking forward to it), The Enchanted Castle by E Nesbit (ditto - and yet the Railway Children is one of my all-time favourite children's books/films) and the last two of the challenge - The Cruise of the Snark by Jack London and the E E Cummings book, both of which were very dry. But overall it was an enjoyable experience. I think the one I wouldn't have picked up and did enjoy was Pollyanna by Eleanor Parker (I think Claire might have suggested that one?)

Janet Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 How wonderful Janet! Did you find any of the books "ahead of their time" ? Thanks. It's an interesting question, and one I've been pondering all afternoon, but having thought about it, I don't remember any of them being ahead of their time. Congratulations Janet It must feel great to finish a long-term reading challenge Thanks - it really does feel good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
