Okay, this was quite possibly my worst challenge of the year. But expected it to be my worst challenge, so that’s alright ……… I think …………
Of the twelve books, I managed to finish ten.
1. Defense Speeches by Cicero August 20, 2014
2. Le Morte d’Arthur by Thomas Mallory December 6, 2014
3. Frankenstein by Mary Shelley April 4, 2014
4. The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis June 15, 2014
5. The Epic of Gilgamesh August 14, 2014
6. Stories from the East from Herodotus by Alfred J. Church
7. The Sayings of the Desert Fathers August 25, 2014
8. Tom Brown’s School Days by Thomas Hughes
9. Socrates by Paul Johnson
10. Daniel Deronda by George Eliot February 24, 2014
11. Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow by Jerome K. Jerome December 29, 2014
12. The Man Who Was Thursday by G.K. Chesterton August 20, 2014
And my alternates:
1. Allegory of Love by C.S. Lewis
2. Oedipus Rex/Oepidus at Colonus/Antigone by Sophocles December 28, 2014
If I really wanted to, I could try to power through Socrates and Stories from the East in the next few days, but I don’t. I’m done.
My 2015 TBR Pile list is much more focused so I’m hoping for more success then. Wish me luck!
Meanwhile, you finished a lot. Say it with a positive swing and a grin, friend! You did great! 😛
Thanks for your fresh, cheery outlook, Marianne! I think I did well, all things considered. 🙂
I think you did very well, too!
Tom Brown's School Days is on my 2015 TBR 🙂
And I LOVE Idle Thoughts! My favourite of his! Ah, I must re-read it soon 🙂
Perhaps I'll move Tom Brown to 2015 too.
Idle Thoughts had me laughing so hard! I need to get ahold of a few more of his essays.
