2015 Reading Challenge Progress

Considering that two-thirds of the year is now spent, how's that 2015 reading challenge coming?  As introduced earlier in the year, it's a literary scavenger hunt: 52 books in 52 weeks.  I've taken care of most of the list, with just a few categories remaining.

• A classic romance (anything by Jane Austen)
• A book with nonhuman characters (The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe?)
• A popular author's first book (Carrie, Stephen King)
• A book from an author who love that you've not yet read (anything by Asimov or Wendell Berry)
• A Pulitzer-Prize winning book (The Prize or Rousseau and Revolution) 
• A book on the bottom of your to-read list (pos. We Who Dared Say No to War)
• A book your mom loves (TBD)
• A book more than 100 years old (any classic,)
• A book you were supposed to read in school but didn't (Grendel) 
• A book with antonyms in the title (really tempted to do War and Peace just to say I did it)
• A trilogy (Star Trek series)
• A book from your childhood (anything)
• A book with maa-agic (The Two Towers)
• A graphic novel (V for Vendetta) 
• A book you own but haven't read (..so many choices)
• A book set during Christmas  (TBD)
• A book written by author with your initials (Here There be Dragons, Sharon Penman)
• A banned book (so many choices)
• A book based on, or turned into, a TV show (TBD)

...okay, that's more than I thought.  As you can see,  I have ideas for most of of them. Unfortunately, some of the ideas are monstrous. Either one of the Pulitzer suggestions could be used as a weapon.  Four months and twenty-one books left, along with my usual addictions (trains!) to feed....I'd better get to work!
