So... I can't change the web address of the blog, but I definitely can't finish in two years. I probably could, but it would be pretty miserable and that isn't really the point. So I am going to finish in three years.
I really enjoyed Death Comes for the Archbishop. It wasn't one that I was particularly looking forward to, but it was really good. I also enjoyed Gulliver's Travels. I am now reading Grapes of Wrath, and it is much better than I remember it being when I "read" it in high school. Steinbeck can write.

Izzie and the "Hat"
About Brooke's Book Blog
Well... Since I currently don't have a job, and in an effort to not become stupid, I have decided to read Newsweek's Top 100 books over the next three (maybe four) years. Thoughts and details to follow.
