Well, as it turns out Siobhán has read practically every book on the list already! There are several overlaps and cases where other members of our entourage can say “Hey! I read that! One less book for me!” But Siobhán has really got us trumped!
After Cúileann posted “The Glass Castle” on her list of books, Siobhán commented that she did in fact own that but hadn’t read it. Caomhóg very quickly began to sing praises for the book and within 24 hours, Siobhán had come back to us saying she had indeed read the book.
I won’t begrudge her the time and energy she has to read so much, but my goodness, leave some showing off for the rest of us! Which is a completely unfair statement as Siobhán is one of the kindest and sweetest women on the planet who would never dream of belittling another human being.
She does (however unintentionally) leave the rest of us feeling completely illiterate at having barely heard of most of these books- let alone having read them.
But that is the purpose of our journey- to broaden our literary horizons. And really, we can’t hold her literary scope against her. After all, what do you expect from a girl whose majors include English, and Book & Media Studies?
Congratulations Siobhán on being the first to report back with a finished book - I haven't even made it 1/2 way through my Pride and Prejudice - then again, I think I'll save that one to share with someone special ;)
