Thanks for stopping by and checking out my blog today! I started reading the "100 Best" in 2007 after I finished my undergraduate degree in French and felt that I had missed out on reading so many classics in my native language. To date, I'm a little less than halfway through, and reading books willy-nilly as I find them. You can follow along here: http://moonmemorymuchness.blogspot.com

Now, I'm especially looking forward to Powell's Dance to the Music of Time :-)

Beyond commendable that you finished the List! It's all about great books, isn't it -- and finding that most of the classics are, gasp, accessible and enjoyable reads.

I have a few more years to go with my blog, http://michaelmenche.blogspot.com/

Keep your insights coming!

SocrMom -- Finnigans Wake is nuts and makes no sense. At least Henderson is pretty short. I like Bellow. I liked Augie March a ton (apparently many people don't), but Henderson didn't do anything for me.

But I have several favorites, some of which were real surprises, like Appointment in Samara, The Heart of the Matter, and Deliverance.

BD -- I seem to enjoy books that have a few years (or decades) on them. I've always preferred the older books to the new ones. Just habit, I think.

Wish I could go back to reading the oldies but classics. Can't see myself going back to them as there are so many new books to read! But have great fun!

You know, you're not the first to warn me about "Finnegan's Wake". Maybe I should start to be worried. :) Between that and what I've heard about "Henderson the Rain King", I may throw in the towel yet. But it's little gems like "The Old Wives' Tale" and "Tobacco Road" that will keep me going.

Pam -- Thanks for visiting! I visited your blog today and think it is great.

If you make a post specific to your progress on the Modern Library list, please leave a link to it in a comment here and I will add it to my post.

Good luck! I don't think I would want to read the list from bottom to top, because then you always have Ulysses looming over you. Not to mention Finnigans Wake right up there at the top too!

I have read about fifteen of the books...I've started at #100 and worked up to #85. I have really loved some, endured some, and loathed some, just like I would any list of books, but it is still a quest that is worthwhile to me. I will enjoy reading your blog.

Thanks for the comment -- my first! Most exciting for me. My favorite was Dance to the Music of Time. I just added an entry about it. I'll add entries about other books on the list as I go along.

I looked at your TeacherDad blog -- what a great idea to do reviews of kids books! I'll pass it along to my parent friends.
