14: The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet by David Mitchell
15: You've Got to Read This edited by Ron Hansen and Jim Shepard

finished Jacob de Zoet a few days ago and have just been focusing on the short story anthology a bit so I can make more of a dent. There are too many stories in there to only read one or two between books and make any progress. I've encountered a couple longer works in there so I feel like I've made a bit of progress. Read Dickens' 'A Christmas Carol' and now I'm most of the way through James Joyce's 'The Dead'

will probably move on to a new novel soon though

how does everyone feel they're doing on the challenge this year?

i feel like we're chatting a lot less in here this year..

i think i need to pick up the pace a little bit, but i've been tackling some denser/longer books this year for sure, and I've enjoyed most of what i've read so far.
Have explored some new authors, and I'm excited to read more of their work now.
