Classic Women


Well, after I completed my list of 10,000 pages, I thought it would be a neat idea if I came up with various other lists of 10,000 pages worth of books, and then other people of different interests could join in the 10,000 pages of summer without have to figure out the page count or whatever. It probably isn't a neat idea. So, the first list I made was classic books by women authors. Now, I formatted this list a little differently than my main one, I don't know why. It seems so much more confusing this way, but I divided it by author, but the individual page count of each book, and then put a page count for the author, then the running page count. Except the Bronte's, I put a total page count for all Bronte books, not a page count per author. And the last author, the last author I listed two books, but you only have to read one. If you read them both you will go over your page count. I just thought I would be nice and give you a choice. Well, it doesn't doesn't matter I guess, just trust me, it adds up to 10,000.
