Kassandra | -1 comments Great job Thomas. Sixty is a big number. Best of luck and let us know which books you're enjoying!

Roseanne | 1239 comments good luck. I loved Anna Karenina. Hope you are enjoying it.

Thomas Evans | 4 comments I'm half way through Anna Karenina and really enjoying it. I teach EFL part-time so I have loads of time to get stuck into some :-) The Constant Gardener is next on my list.

Luffy Sempai (luffy79) I also have a target of 60. If Anna Karenina is that good then I must give it a try. But my priorities are still unaffected in the short and long run. Too many books to read. It's a common complaint, but it must be said here.

Thomas Evans | 4 comments Very true indeed Luffy. I would certainly recommended the book. I'm going to join the 'The Brothers Karamazov' Read-along starting on the 31st of this month - I'm excited about that.

Is that so? I didn't see any sign to that effect. Hope it's accurate. I'm going to read it as well then.

Thomas Evans | 4 comments Hey Sandy, yeah it's truly engrossing! I've yet to read a lengthy classic on Kindle - I've always been a little reluctant to do so. Unfortunately, where I am there's a distinct lack of books available so I'm plucking up the courage to attempt one :-) What would you personally recommend?
