My next challenge is to read the whole Bible in 90 days. I should finish that at the end of December, and I'll be back on classic novels in January - I'm planning to read 22 more novels, from Stephen Crane's The Red Badge of Courage to Zadie Smith's White Teeth. After that: history of biography and autobiography.

So I won't be updating here for a while, but I'll still be reading. I'll check in at the end of the year to post my final page count and total book count, and to let you know if I finish the Bible.

Total books so far: 41
