I finally decided on my picks for the Novella Challenge. If you don't remember, the rules are read 6 novellas (100-250 pgs) between April and September 2008.
- Lesley Castle: Jane Austen
- Stardust: Neil Gaiman
- Fahrenheit 451: Ray Bradbury
- Breakfast at Tiffany's: Truman Capote
- The Lifted Veil: George Eliot
- Summer: Edith Wharton
I loved Edith Wharton's Summer. Enjoy!
ReplyDelete(Note: My copy is actually 290 pages long, which seems more like a full-length novel, but maybe the print is larger.)
I got halfway through Farenheit 451 and just......stopped. Got to finish it one of these days.
ReplyDeleteNice list for your challenge! I'll be looking forward to your reviews of them.
I was so tempted to join this one but I think I'm on challenge overload. You've got some got some books on there that I've been meaning to read so will look forward to your reviews!
ReplyDeleteSummer was really good -- Edith Wharton really kicks literary butt. I should read more of her this year.
ReplyDeleteRob- Summer seems to pop up in her novella collections. My library copy is 216 pages. Glad you liked it. We seem to have similar tastes so hopefully I will too.
ReplyDeleteCarrie- I'm reading it Fahrenheit 451 will a group so I should get through it.
Iliana- Yeah, I need another challenge like a hole in the head but I couldn't help myself.
Bybee- I really enjoyed House of Mirth. Glad you liked Summer.
Great list! I really enjoyed Fahrenheit 451 (and perhaps saw something about a movie with Tom Hanks?? Although that pesky writer's strike may have changed that).
