You are brave and inspiring, and I look forward to reading your updates. Bon chance!!

(Though, all those 15 books were more than 30 pages, which is the pace. But still.) I haven't read Anthill, but my boys are currently obsessed with ants, and I'll check it out. Reminds me of A.S. Byatt's Angels and Insects novella. Inquirer, the last challenge and this are very different animals. 2700 pages over a summer is a lot more than 15 books in 15 days!

Doing this gives me a sense of purpose, albeit arbitrary, and maybe will ensure that I follow through. Isabella, I look forward to moving those huge things over to a “have read” shelf!

I have the set, and even seriously considered reading it once, but my interest languished as the initial hype over it died down. Maybe!

I am attempting to finish Ulysses this summer. By the way ... have you read E. O. Wilson's Anthill? I loved it. He won the Pulitzer for his non-fiction scholarly works on Ants and Human Nature. His debut novel was wonderful! I’m tempted just because I had so much fun with your last challenge, but I’ll pass. I am attempting to finish Ulysses this summer.

By the time I got to the third book they had lost their charm. His latest (anathem) was much better. Good luck! I read these a couple of years ago.
