I'M GOING TO READ 100 BOOKS! (not that you care)

Hey ho! Guess what? I'm going to read the 100 greatest 19th century novels. No seriously! I'm already one hundred pages into the first book; by first I mean one hundredth. I'll try to avoid spoilers.

It took me a while (1 minute) to settle on a design for the blog. At first I wanted the "Scribe" template, but honestly with that look I'd feel pretentious; besides it might be that it goes too well with the whole 19th century shindig. The darker look is easier on the eyes; has a safe and more enclosed feel to it.

By the way, tell me if you think I should re-read books that I've already read. For example, The Scarlet Letter; it sits at #25, but I dread the thought of reading it a third time. Is it against the spirit of reading the 100 GREATEST NOVELS OF THE 19th CENTURY to not read a book such as TSL?

Anyway, join me on this adventure as I attempt to make myself "well read".
