Maybe I should follow your initiative and finally read Anna Karenina!<br /><br />No specific reading plans here, other than beginning a Victorian Reading Challenge next year - mostly just planning to read what I want, when I want (hopefully choosing from my to-be-read pile and not the bookstore). Though I do intend to make this the year I finally read A Christmas Carol - it's a bit overdue, especially considering I've owned the thing for four years.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02127105939589606854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-236334828969414641.post-21169580855163072202010-12-05T16:30:16.987-08:002010-12-05T16:30:16.987-08:00@MelU--good suggestions; I can't leave out Gog...@MelU--good suggestions; I can't leave out Gogol and Chekhov!<br />@stu--I like the idea of reading from one country.
