Is it too late to get in on this? I'd love to join. If I may, then I'd like to challenge myself to 30 books & 10,000 pages (so that I don't just read a bunch of short books). Negative on the BookLord Challenge. Thanks either way!

Sorry Portrait of a Lady didn't work out for you, MockingQuantum - that was the Henry James that turned me around on Henry James, but if it didn't work for you, it didn't work.

I'll go ahead and request a wildcard as well, since I don't believe I've done so so far.

I nominate The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco! If you've read that then I nominate Stone's Fall by Iain Pears!

Orhan Pamuk's Silent House.

Currently reading The White Castle by Pamuk and it's definitely interesting.

If anyone could give me another wildcard (for my girlfriend) that would be awesome. Anything goes, but something without violence or gore is preferred (she has PTSD). Thank you!
