Hey, I'm doing this too! I'm reading The Secret History right now, actually, and I love it. The Great Gatsby and Pride & Predjudice are some of the next ones on my list to read.

Hey there! :)
Yeah, isn't The Secret History just fantastic?!
It's pretty much my favorite piece of contemporary literature, I'm re-reading it every couple of months...

I love it! I'm not even to Part 2 yet, and it is so wonderful. I've read that Part 2 is the best part, so I am very excited.

I've read that Part 2 is the best part,
I agree. :D

Hi! I'm just passing by--I hope you don't mind me commenting.

What did you think of Heart of Darkness? I read it earlier this year. I hear almost everyone hates it, but I kind of loved it. I wish you so much luck with 100 books! I would love to read 100 books, but I'm terrible at finishing them. I'm much better with 100 movies.

Don't mind at all! :)

I gotta say I loved Heart of Darkness, too.
(I mainly read it, cause of my love for Apocalypse Now.)
I thought it was intriguing and incredibly dark (obviously...) and the narration was fantastic.
Read the whole thing in one sitting.

Ha, thanks! I know I'll never gonna reach 100, though.
I'm doing 100 movies, too, and that's going A LOT better.
