2011 11-Authors Challenge

I have decided to read something by 11 different authors whose works I have not read before this year.

If you are interested, please let us know here and report back to update your list every time you read the work(s) of a new author.

Fun!!

OK, I'll give this a go.
I've started one already and another has been purchased.
(aside- I've suddenly developed an interest in the "short story")

.

This sounds fun! I am in!

One a month - or thereabouts: I think I can manage that. I'm in.

What a great idea for a challenge. I'm in too. I'll be back to post my projected reading list.

Much better than my plan to read 2011 new authors, I'm in!

Good idea; I'll be in too!

Fantastic!

My first one will be Alice Munro, I think.

I lied.

I am reading The White Tiger by Aravind Agida at the moment and am enjoying very much.

This is a great idea. My list:

1. Vladimir Nabokov- Lolita

Since my copy finally arrived in the mail the first book I will be reading for the challenge is "The City & The City"

I have started Fight Club.

Funny, I thought Tyler Durden started it...

I have my intermediate examination coming up next month (so I will have some studying to do) but if the challenge includes fiction and nonfiction, I'd love to join anyway. :wave:
