Update in TIME

As noted here, my list of books to read has been determined and now I am fighting my way through! Complete to date are:

* Animal Farm (1946), by George Orwell
* Atonement (2002), by Ian McEwan
* Gone With the Wind (1936), by Margaret Mitchell
* The Great Gatsby (1925), by F. Scott Fitzgerald
* Lord of the Flies (1955), by William Golding
* Possession (1990), by A.S. Byatt
* The Sun Also Rises (1926), by Ernest Hemingway
* To Kill a Mockingbird (1960), by Harper Lee

It took me 25 years to learn to read and then get 8% complete... oh boy.
