Location: Beaverton, Oregon, USA		I just added two more as well with the new challenge levels. I'm still being much more conservative in my challenges because of my Tolkien challenge. I'm expecting many of post-LOTR books to be slow going. And I'm planning on following an online chapter by chapter seminar on the Silmarillion. Once I get through most of this challenge, I'll probably add more.

Books read in January
American Gods - Neil Gaiman 5/5 (Read it again) I think this is a fantastic book
Four for Tomorrow - Roger Zelazny 3/5 (Clear the Shelves) A little disappointed, but a decent read
The Martian - Andy Weir 4/5 (Pick and Mix) I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this.
Nerves - Lester del Rey 2/5 (Just Have to, Clear the Shelves) Very disappointed. I'm starting to think he was made a Grand Master more for his publishing than for his writing
Shakespeare's Planet - Clifford D Simak 4/5 (Just Have to, Clear the Shelves, I haven't met a Simak book I haven't liked
To Say Nothing of the Dog - Connie Willis 4/5 (Read it again) My second read. The first time, I was lost. This time, I got it, and enjoyed it immensely.

Challenge Tally:
Just Have to Read - 2/12
Clear the Shelves - 3/15
Read it Again, Sam - 4/6
PIck and Mix - 1/12
Tolkien - 0/12
Unloved - 0/3
Solar System - 1/3
Elizabeth Noun - 3/3
LGBT 12/12 The challenge just ended
