I don't read enough. If a book doesn't capture my attention right away, I get bored and rarely finish it. I've decided that's not a good enough reason to not read, so I've decided I want to read all of Jane Austen's books.
Since I usually don't read a book more than once, I decided against buying them and instead checking them out from the library. One day, curiosity got the better of me and I checked to see how much they were on iTunes. Imagine my surprise when I saw that they were free! Score! However, I'd much rather pay for a Jane Austen book than one "written" by Snooki.
This is a goal I know I can accomplish relatively soon. I'm a slow reader and I find myself without a lot of "me time," but I'm excited to start reading these novels. Any suggestions as to which one I should read first?
I hope to cross this one off my list in 1 - 2 years.

I was thinking Pride and Prejudice first, too. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteTo pick a book I go with recommendations of books by friends that read a lot, but personally I really don't read much, not really sure why that is, because I love books and I have a lot of them as well.
ReplyDeleteGreat start to the challenge.....haven't read a Jane Austen book yet. :)
I'm with you. I don't read a lot, even though I love to read! Thanks for stopping by. :)

DeleteI own Pride and Prejudice but have never finished it (I can't remember now if I even started it). Like you, I have a difficult time powering through a book I'm not enjoying. Good luck!
