I like your ideas so far and have several of the same books on my 2017 challenge lists!

I'm also going to try to get to The Hunchback of Notre-Dame next year -- fingers crossed! Good luck :)

So I finally marked one off my list. It was an unexpected read and I didn't really know where to put it, so I used the "free space." We by Yevgeny Zamyatin was an enjoyable read. I can see how it draws comparisons to 1984 and Brave New World. I would recommend to anyone who enjoyed either of the 2 books previously mentioned. On to book # 2...

There you go. A start is start!

Congrats on marking off your first square! I agree fans of Brave New World or 1984, would probably like We as well. It's my least favourite of the three, but I enjoyed them all.

Congrats on getting the first one out of the way! I haven't read 1984, or Brave New World, but it sounds interesting. Good luck the the rest of your challenge!
