I was driving myself crazy. <br />Here's my half report: <br />http://greatbookstudy.blogspot.com/2015/07/cannot-finish-life-on-mississippi-by.html<br /><br />If I really wanted to read Mark Twain for realism, I should have just reread Huckleberry Finn.Ruth @ with freedom and bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15531827758868215023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584058713548027639.post-33909866819375111372015-07-16T03:15:51.187+07:002015-07-16T03:15:51.187+07:00I guess my choice wasn't too good either; I tr...I guess my choice wasn't too good either; I tried to read Wings of the Dove, by Henry James, and I FAILED. Here is my blog post, since it doesn't count as a proper entry. http://howlingfrog.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-wings-of-dove-and-my-failure-at.html<br /><br />Instead, I chose a book of James' short stories and have read two.

I'm still loving this challenge.
But I...Fanda, <br />I'm still loving this challenge.<br />But I must have chosen the wrong book for realism b/c I am not loving it. I'm reading Life on the Mississippi, by Mark Twain, and I was so excited about starting it; but now I hate it. It is so boring. And I'm only half way through. I don't think I have time to start something else and finish it in time, so I am going to complete this book and be disappointed about my choice.<br />I probably would have really enjoyed realism, but I just chose the wrong book.Ruth @ with freedom and bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15531827758868215023noreply@blogger.com
