A long time ago I challenged myself to read all the books on the Guardian 1000 books you should read list. Unfortunately, life got in the way and I had to put it on the back burner.
Lately, I've been thinking that I gave up too easily.
So I am re-dedicating myself to the challenge. I have filled a box with around 30 books and I am going to work through them. No schedule, no time limits, no pressure.
I am even starting with one of the only books I have ever started to read but gave up half way through... Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien. This is a genre I love and usually enjoy reading but, for some reason, I have always struggled with this series. Let's see if this time I can make it to the end.
Here is a link to the Guardian list http://www.theguardian.com/books/2009/jan/23/bestbooks-fiction
just in case you are interested in taking up the challenge yourself.
