15 Books, 15 Pounds
Ms. Bryanna Tidmarsh has challenged me to a 15 book, 15 lbs. goal by August 1st. Our goal is therefore to read 15 books and lose 15 lbs. Therefore I’ve searched around my room for books I want to read as a part of this challenge. Here is a list of all of them:
1. The Divine Comedy: Inferno [Dante Alighieri]
2. The Divine Comedy: Purgatorio [Dante Alighieri]
3. The Divine Comedy: Paradiso [Dante Alighieri]
4-8. The Torah (Yes, Biblical books count. And they’re no short order either.) [Moses, duh!]
9. A Mercy [Toni Morrison]
10-12. The Snopes Trilogy [William Faulkner]
13. The Aeneid [Virgil]
14. The Odyssey [Homer]
15. Portnoy’s Complaint [Philip Roth]
I have just ordered my copy of Inferno, so wish me luck. The challenge officially starts in 15 minutes: June 1, 2011. I hope we both not only meet our goals, but exceed them!
