This has been a very useful challenge,-for one thing I have been introduced to Monica Dickens and the most excellent work of Penelope Fitzgerald-however,I have decided to defer several of the other works until a later time-to do them justice- and so will leave this year's challenge at this point.I think that I might have included some lighter reading in my "Wild Card Six!"Many thanks,however,for this excellent challenge-perhaps I will try again another year! :)
