Joyce Carol Oates Reading Challenge

Now that both rompers have successfully completed the Once Upon a Time Reading Challenge (and a whole month early!), we have selected a very different challenge and it will last for the month of December.

We have each choosen works by Joyce Carol Oates to read during the month of December. While Dani has selected a novella, short stories and one novel, Karen choose two novels. Both rompers will read approximately 1400 pages of Oates' prolific writing.

After the genre challenge that touched on genres, neither of us read very frequently, we decided to work on texts by the same author.

Karen will be reading Blonde and What I Lived For, beginning with Blonde.

We hope to have a discussion posted about similar themes in the texts we read along with reviews.

So, 1400 pages by Joyce Carol Oates read December 1 - December 31, 2009. Join us if you can!
