Welcome to the challenge Ed. I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks. Should be a good way to clear some unread books from my shelves.

Nice list! I also hope to get to The Hunchback of Notre-Dame and The Beautiful and Damned. Happy Reading :)

Yes, both look like good reads. Enjoy!

Good luck, Ed! Looks like a good list!

You have a great list of books. Happy reading!

Solid list of picks...enjoy!

Planning on starting with A Room of One's Own...it is my first Woolf (aside from the time I attempted but DNF'd Mrs. Dalloway). I've heard this one is a bit more accessible, so hopefully it will be a more palatable read for me.
