I have officially completed the 2008 TBR Challenge! This is the first challenge I signed up for when I started blogging in January, and the first challenge I have completed. I changed my selections a few times, but here’s the final list (reviews can be found by clicking to the “2008 book list” tab):
1. The Joy Luck Club - Amy Tan
2. Flowers for Algernon - Daniel Keyes
3. Fahrenheit 451 - Ray Bradbury
4. Never Let Me Go - Kazuo Ishiguro
5. Prozac Nation - Elizabeth Wurtzel
6. In Cold Blood - Truman Capote
7. Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress - Dai Sijie
8. Housekeeping _ Marilynne Robinson
9. Sense and Sensibility - Jane Austen
10. Gap Creek - Robert Morgan
11. Cane River - Lalita Tademy
12. ‘Tis - Frank McCourt
Overall, I would say my favorite on the list was Never Let Me Go, and my least favorite would have to be a tie between Cane River and Sense and Sensibility… and Housekeeping. Wow, there were a lot of books I didn’t enjoy so much. Oh well… at least I finished them.
Wow! Already? I’m just barely hanging on, doing one a month.
My daughter is reading Fahrenheit 451 in her HS Freshman English class. We read it a few years ago for book group. So we actually had a family literary conversation over dinner.
