Baheya Zeitoun (baheyazeitoun) | 29 comments I've edited this list like 50 times and am considering editing it again. I have only chosen the categories that interest me, and have kept my book-count pretty low because I know my own limitations. Anyway, the changes I might make are:
a book by an author you've never read before: A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
a book you own but have never read: Agnes Grey

Instead of:
a romance: Women in Love
a book with nonhuman characters:The Island of Dr. Moreau

If anyone has read any of these books, I would really appreciate your recommendations.

Baheya Zeitoun (baheyazeitoun) | 29 comments Read Marriage Is a Private Affair by Chinua Achebe & Mouse Moonwalk.

Currently Reading The Woman Destroyed & The Best Short Stories of Edgar Allan Poe.

Unfortunately I'm behind on the challenge, because I've been reading unrelated books. Hopefully I can catch up before the year is over.
