I've decided to take on *one* more reading challenge for 2011.
After completing a nineteenth century British history class last month I have the biggest urge to read material from that time era. The Deranged Book Lovers' Wordsworth Classics Reading Challenge 2011 provides me with the perfect motivation to do so.
So... I hereby pledge that between January 1, 2011 and December 23, 2011 I will tackle five nineteenth century novels. Apparently, having read five to eight books will make me a bourgeois - not too shabby!
Bellow is a tentative list of novels that will be used to complete the challenge.
1) Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde - R. L. Stevenson
2) North and South - Elizabeth Gaskell
3) Persuasion - Jane Austen
4) Oliver Twist - Charles Dickens
5) Cranford - Elizabeth Gaskell
What do you think about reading challenges? Are you participating in any this year (or have done so in the past)? If so, what ones?

Almost as much as I love coffee.
All puns put aside, I really do adore the comments you ever-so-kindly post. Thank you for taking the time to stop by and leave a few words. I love hearing your view on the topic!
