2009 Read-a-Thon Book Selections

A few days ago, I signed up for Dewey’s 24-hour Read-a-Thon, which is on October 24th, 2009.  See my previous post on the read-a-thon for more information. Here are the books that made it onto my reading list.

Take a look, and let me know what you think.

1. Tess of the d’Urbervilles, Introduction and notes by David Galef: I chose this book because I’m reading it for a Victorian literature class that I am taking. It looks like it will be good. I guess Masterpiece Classic made a movie out of it. Check out the movie clip on their site. Have you seen the movie or read the book? Was it good?

2. Dragon House: This has been on my list to read for a while. I’m actually on chapter three. I just need to finish reading it and get a review up. So far, I’m enjoying it.

3. Time of My Life: A Novel: I can’t wait to read this book. I follow Allison on Twitter, and subscribe to her blog. She always seems to be up to something interesting.

4. A Circle of Souls: This is another book that has been on my list for a while. Hoping to get a review up soon.

5. The Postmistress: I’m reading this as part of the Barnes & Noble First Look book club.

6. That Old Cape Magic: I have never read Richard Russo’s books, but I have heard many great things. I can’t wait to read this book.

7. Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide: Check out my recent post called For Women Who Hold up Half The Sky

So, that is it for me. I likely won’t get them all read, but at least I’ll have a good selection. Have you read any these books? Are you participating in the read-a-thon?  What are you reading?
