Actually I have
made a reading schedule for February, which contains:
Little
Dorrit (Dickens)
The Mystery
of Edwin Drood (Dickens)
Richard III
(Shakespeare)
Harry Potter
& the Chamber of Secrets—reread
Mrs.
Dalloway (Woolf)
A Tree Grows
in Brooklyn (Smith)
I have been determined to finish them all, although I doubt I can do it.
And today…I suddenly
received an invitation from Goodreads from o (Delaisse). She is hosting an
event to read as much as classics from French authors: French February.
Well, ‘French’ has always been my weakness (and I love o’s Eiffel button…!!),
so I think I can’t prevent myself from joining anyway. But…wait… If I can’t be
sure to finish those 6 books in my schedule, how can I add one more? Oh, by the
way, I’m going to take Voltaire’s
Candide—it’s a novella, and I’ve been wanting to read it for sometime.
That means I
must scrap one of those 6 books and move it to next month(s) to make room for
Candide. The question is, which one?.... Considering that I planned to read 2 books for WEM Self Project (Richard III and Mrs. Dalloway) which would slow my readings a lot, I finally I decided that Mrs. Dalloway must
step out of her previous group to enter March group :)
So, here I
am….ready to visit France! I wish I could be there right now…:(
I'm glad you're joining in :D I'm actually looking forward to Candide, but - well, I read it ten years ago and hated it, but I honestly cannot remember why! (Same with The Trial by Kafka, can't remember why I hated that either, although I read it at a tough time, so I wonder if I'm associating the bad time with Kafka). So, it should be interesting, anyway! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting, o.
DeleteYeah, I guess our state of mind affected our reading mood, and thus our judgement also. I hope you'll reread and appreciate Candide this time.
