little 5-title update (Moonrat)

Hi Guys,

I've finished five books over the last two weeks, because I'm still all motivated by the list and reading like a maniac. Also because I chose some relatively easy ones to start with. I'm linking to my BookBook reviews.

Daphne DuMaurier, Rebecca
Alice Mattison, The Book Borrower
T.S. Eliot, The Waste Land
Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey
Curtis Sittenfeld, American Wife

Also, I made an awesome red/read checklist on my blog, which is yet another incentive to finish books. Nyuk nyuk. Apparently I'm a list-making personality type.

You guys have thoughts on any of these?

verdict, please

Hello my dears,

So last night, my boss took me (unexpectedly) to a staged and annotated Poetry Month reading of T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land, which was one of the books on my list. The reading was awesome, and surely much more than I would have gotten out of the book if I'd read it alone. But the question is, does this count for my list? I sincerely doubt I will find a need or desire to revisit it in the next little while.

Thanks,

Moonrat
