I was looking forward to reading this since it's been on my shelf for so long. Alas, I'm just not at all impressed with Wallace's 1972 best seller. The subject, publishing a New Testament Bible, is intriguing...but the writing style and characters are completely boring. I found myself saying, "Blah, blah, blah, and skimming ahead. So after 80 pages I've decided I've got lots better books to tackle and will not plod through the remaining 500 pages. Big relief to take this one off my shelf! So, Janice, you can roll the dice for my second list.

    As we've said -- the best part of this TBR challenge is that we seem to be affirming our choices of leaving these books on our shelves for so long! It's great to give ourselves the permission to abandon boring books once and for all!!!!!

    Here's your new list:
    1)The Lacuna
    2) Mary Called Magdalene
    3) Deep Cover
    4)Cowboys, Cops, Killers and Ghosts
    5) Lady Chatterley’s Lover
