First up: The Age of Innocence
I've decided to start working on the 100 Best Novels. I've already read 15 of them, so I have 85 to go. I'm going to start with Wharton's The Age of Innocence. I had considered going from the top down, but I think I'll be more successful if I let myself read them in whatever order I feel like. This will probably mean that I'll end up with a few I've been putting off at the end (Joyce and Faulkner, anyone?), but I think at that point my momentum will push me to finish.
I liked The House of Mirth, so I'm looking forward to The Age of Innocence. Here we go!
