Rebecca – that’s the good thing about a challenge that lasts all year long – you still have plenty of time to complete it. The Tolstoy was very interesting – as was the Thomas Mann on Anna Karenina.

Congrats! I am not finished with the challenge yet. I am to read 10 essays and I have read a measly 3 essays. I am trying to finish these 2 challenges that end in June and then I can devote more time to this challenge. I enjoy reading essays. I think On Art by Leo Tolstoy looks interesting.

Margot – I hope you find some that you like.

Book Psmith – a lot of the essays I read came from Essays of the Masters, edited by Charles Neider. It did have a few that were really boring, though, and I skipped those.

Congratulations! I too think your list is interesting…sounds like some really good ones by great writers. I keep seeing the Hornby popping up…just for the title alone I should check it out.

Good for you – on completing your challenge. I find your list very interesting. I’m going to copy down some of your titles and check my local library. I love a good essay.

Kathy – thanks!

Sandy – you should really give them a try – in all your “spare” time.

Avis – I will definitely add your review to the challenge page.

Wow, you don’t pace yourself, do you?

Of course, considering just how many book challenges you’ve taken up for 2009, I kind of don’t blame you. Ha!

Anyway, congratulations on finishing this one.

Congrats, Carrie! I've been meaning to mention that I finally reviewed a book of essays on my blog. Can you add the link to your list please?
