Aussie Readers discussion

I am really happy to have almost given up tv and read heaps more books this year than ever before. I have surprised myself and easily completed my reading goal of 80 books for 2015, but...
I find I am always choosing reasonable short books to read for my challenges and am avoiding some of the longer ones I have sitting on my TBR. Some of them I really want to read as I've been told how wonderful they are. My challenge for 2016 is going to be to tackle some of my longer books, I am going to aim for at least one per month.
1. Shantaram✔
2. Trinity✔
3. I Know This Much Is True✔
4. 11/22/63✔
5. Natchez Burning✔
6. A Little Life✔
7. The Persimmon Tree✔
8. I Am Pilgrim✔
9. NOS4A2✔
10.Whitethorn✔
11.A Free Life
12. Matterhorn✔
These are the 12 longest I have on my list, hopefully I will get through a few more.

Good idea for Kerri, I know what you mean about skipping over the larger tomes, I am guilty of that myself sometimes.

Great personal challenge Kerri..I too am guilty of doing that sometimes! I wish you well :)

Such a good idea Kerri!
I have a large number of large tomes in my bookshelf that I shun when I'm looking for a quick read!

Great idea Kerri, maybe you could also add them up in total pages to get an even better perspective ;)

Thanks for the support everyone, I'm looking forward to getting stuck into them.

Good challenge - I avoid door stoppers like the plague- but happy to cheer you on :)

Sounds good, Kerri. I can recommend 11/22/63. Good luck with your challenge!

First one read, off to a good start. I'm so glad I discovered audiobooks.

Good challenge. Maybe next year I'll try that.
