Now I'm bored. The Beauty of Eclecticism's <a href="http://eclecticismjncl.blogspot.com/2011/10/read-your-own-library-challenge.html">Read Your Own Library Challenge</a> looks like just the thing to keep my brain in gear and also to force me to actually read some of the books that my husband and I have been basically hoarding. The challenge calls for participants to declare their level of backloggedness, and I am definitely at level 3, "Biblio Rehab" (I must not set foot in a bookstore or library until after I've finished a challenge book for the month).<br />
<br />
The book that I have chosen to start the challenge with is Robin Lane Fox's <i>Travelling Heroes in the Epic Age of Homer</i>. For at least the past year, every time I've gone into a bookstore, I've pulled this one off the shelf, and my husband has to point out to me that I already own it. Hopefully, actually reading the book will prevent me from buying a second copy (since I clearly don't remember buying the first). I'm not sure why it has taken me so long to read this book; I can only presume that it got buried in the stacks while I kept buying other books that I apparently wanted to read more.kchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05326289659370491044noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105345309902557693.post-34170940233981404622011-10-17T16:55:00.000-07:002011-10-17T16:55:17.046-07:00post 1Testing.
