The Classics Club Challenge 2017

From July 2012 through June 2017 I participated in The Classics Club Challenge.  I was to read 100 books in five years time.   I fell a little short and really wanted to keep at it so I went back to the site and enrolled in another five year stent.  Only reading 50 books this time.  Surely I can't fail at that one!
