I'm *still* working on my original century read-through - didn't read too many last year, so I still have 22 to go. That seems like a such a small number...Susan in TXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09550766549670690646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-9401185540805960072015-02-02T13:17:54.175+00:002015-02-02T13:17:54.175+00:00Well, I read 90 in 2014.

I was on track for 100 until I dropped way down in Nov and Dec. As always, 1/3 are rereads.<br /><br />The the most baffling things were<br />a) Incontinent on the Continent, by Jane Christmas. This woman dragged her elderly mother all over Italy and seemed to hate every moment of it. Hated the food, the people and the apparent incompetence of the Italians in treating tourists right. She seemed also to loath her mother. When she got to Florence and hated that too (!!!!), I finally gave up on her. <br /><br />b) A Spy Among Friends by Ben MacIntyre. Excellent read. Utterly utterly baffling how the loathsome Kim Philby got away with decades of deceit and betrayal, of both friends and country, thanks to the Old Boys' network.<br />Susan Dhttp://www.susandaly.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-9474419856407738422015-02-02T11:20:32.287+00:002015-02-02T11:20:32.287+00:00Especially love your 'Most Baffling Book' ...Especially love your 'Most Baffling Book' category!

I had my lowest reading year for a few years last year, too - and no slumps, either. Onwards and upwards.
