Wow. That's a lot of books.
ReplyDeleteIt's a little misleading, since I read quite a few children's books but, yeah, plenty. :) I lowered my goal for 2015 significantly so I won't feel bad about taking my time reading chunksters. I'm reading Parade's End, right now, and I can see this one is going to take me quite some time to finish!
DeleteWow you read more than I did, and I had a good year!
ReplyDeleteQuantity-wise it looks pretty terrific, yep. But, this wasn't my biggest year, believe it or not! I went through several tremendous slumps and a lot of those books were children's books. So, it looks better than it was. :)
DeleteI was surprised to see "The Wind in the Willows" on the list. That's really old now and was popular when I was very young.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's one I never got to early in life. I don't know if it's considered a classic but it was one of the books on my classics shelves, which I dip into when I need a change of pace and the reliability of something old and beautifully written. I loved it.
