I was going to read The Grapes of Wrath next month so I’m so glad to hear it was a favorite!!

Maybe, maybe not. I do have at least 1 classic to read (actually 2) so it might happen! But first I have some more rounding up to do of last year’s challenges.

Hee, I try to keep my challenges to a minimum too (this year), but it’s a hard habit to break… I actually joined the Graphic Novel Challenge today :\

It sure was a fun night, watching Brideshead. Three of your challenge books are on my list 60 best books in last 60 years (Harper Lee, Steinbeck and Yates). The Ebooks already on my iPod, so enought to read on my next trip.
And what next? Another Classic challenge?

You’ve read such a good and wide selection and I really like your choice of reading material. I keep meaning to read more classics, but I think I’m challenged out for 2010. Maybe I’ll join you in 2011?? I loved both Brideshead Revisited (including the tv series which I loved, loved, loved – I have yet to watch the re-make and your review has given me second thoughts) and To Kill A Mockingbird. I remember the latter having a great impact on me at college. I have heard many good things about Revolutionary Road (it’s waiting for me at my sister’s house – and I think my dad really liked it) including the movie. Great write-up!
