Apparently no deal– because there’s been a slight change in plans (err… plan).
I’ll admit, I was an idiot when I was drafting up the reading plan. I don’t think I knew how silly it was for me to set East of Eden as the first book on the list after so many years of… not reading. As much as I admire Mr. Steinbeck’s writing, reading it does require a little more time and concentration on my end since it has been some time since I’ve reading something at this kind of reading level. And to think that I didn’t realize how much of a noob I was until now.
Therefore! I am making a slight modification to the reading list. I’m giving myself an additional month to read East of Eden so that I can actually read it, instead of just powering through it in order to finish it on time. This means that everything will be pushed back by a month, and that Sabriel will be the first book of next year.
Updated reading list is as follows:
September-October:
–East of Eden– by John Steinbeck
November:
–The Road– by Cormac McCarthy
December:
–The House of the Scorpion– by Nancy Farmer
January:
–Sabriel– by Garth Nix
Anyways… back to reading!
