Happy New Year!

I hope everyone is well and happy. The year is new and hopes are high around here in our corner of paradise. In making my annual 43 Things List, I wanted to include a reading goal so I included, " Read 3 'Top 100' Books." My intention had been to choose from that Modern Library's Top 100 Novels List that was published a few years ago, but Erica thinks we should use my goal in the book club and she doesn't want to be limited entirely by that list. I can be flexible (sometimes). We looked at some lists this morning and agreed to read 3 books together and, as always I invite anyone who wishes to join us and comment here in this blog.

We have chosen:

Death Comes for the Archbishop by Willa Cather - #61 on the Modern Library List
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley - # 5 on the Modern Library List
The Picture of Dorian Gray - by Oscar Wilde

Willa Cather is up first. My personal goal is to finish this book by the end of February. Hope to see you here.
