I have to say I haven't read nearly the number of books I normally read by this time of the year.
Reading a certain number of books hasn't been as much of my focus this year though.
I intended to focus on reading more classics this year.
Last year, for instance, I read 78 books. That would be 39 books by mid-year.
So far I have read 25 books in 2011.
One contributing factor to that is that I have read five classics this year.
Last year I read six classics but two of them were very short and not even equal the effort of one complete classic.
Here is the breakdown of the books I have completed reading this year:
Memoirs ~ 4
Non Fiction ~ 4
Classics ~ 5
Humor ~ 2
Juvenile Fiction ~ 5
Fiction ~ 3
Biography ~ 2

25 Titles
Classic titles I've read this year:
Emma by Jane Austen
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
My Man Jeeves by Wodehouse
The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas
A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens
My annual reading count really ebbs and flows from year to year. I just completed my 47th. I am trying for 100 this year but it's not a drop dead number. Good for you on the classics. There are many I still want to read.
ReplyDeleteGrowing and changing as a reader is an interesting thing. You just may hit 100, Belle. I won't in all likelihood and I'm okay with that this year.
