The Challange ....
In a rather daft moment i decided to set my self a challange, this challange was to read 101 books in 365 days. But not just any books, no i deciced to make it interesting and choose books that these days we like to call classics.
It all started with me wanting to read Wurthing Heights, something that i have not yet achived, and figuring that since i was such an avaid reader but had as of yet only read a few of those so called classics i should really get onto it. So here is my journey into a world so far undiscovered, it all beguins on August the 1st 2011.
Let the challange beugin.
