Goal #3: Reading More Broadly

Goal #3 of Reading More Broadly --  I've finished Andrew O'Hagan's Be Near Me. It only counts as a bonus  (as it is largely set in England & Scotland -- I'll add this pin to Scotland) for my Where Are You Reading Challenge? but it still counts fully toward the Support Your Public Library Challenge. If you want to contemplate solitude, and the ways we respond when we are lonely, disenchanted, or adrift, you'll enjoy this book. My flavor of Catholicism is different, so some of those pieces dragged for me.

Goal #3: Reading More Broadly

Goal #3 of Reading More Broadly -- yesterday I finished Stieg Larsson's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. It only counts as a bonus for my Where Are You Reading Challenge? but it still counts fully toward the Support Your Public Library Challenge. It was an interesting read, and I've placed The Girl Who Played with Fire on hold as an eBook through Chicago Public Library.

Goal #3: Where Are You Reading? Update

As part of Goal #3: Reading More Broadly, subcategory Where Are You Reading? Challenge, I completed Fannie Flagg's I Still Dream About You, set in Birmingham, Alabama. Makes me ready to go visit my family all over again! Updated reading map here.

Goal #3: Support Your Local Library Challenge Update

I just finished Fannie Flagg's I Still Dream About You, which I checked out from Chicago Public Library, in support of Goal #3: Reading More Broadly, subcategory: Support Your Local Library Challenge.  This is only my second book this year, which means when I'm not taking classes, I'll definitely be working on getting caught up!

Goal #1: Already Abandoned

My sanity and sleep won out and I'm down to taking only one class this term, which means that I'll stick to this plan, and just be okay with it being June or December 2012 before I'm done.  That's just the way it is.
