Savannah - I saw you on the reading through the decades challenge page. I joined a little late also--but you're definitely a little more ambitious than I am! :) The Awakening and Heart of Darkness are also on my list.

I was also looking at your TBR list--My Sister's Keeper and the Time Traveler's Wife are both great books!

Best wishes...Trish

Thank you so much! I appreciate the support! I hope that I can do it! The Awakening has always been a book that I have been interested in reading. I enjoy the challenge of adding more classics to my reading also!

You have a fabulous list. Your Cather, Fitzgerald, Steinbeck, Baldwin, Vonnegut, and Irving choices are all great books. I enjoyed all of them-they rank high with me.
