I really should be reading some of the books that have been languishing on my shelves for years rather than continuing to buy new ones. ( - and thanks for the suggestions for books to search out after I read some of my cast-asides.) After reading your list I’ve decided to take up the challenge, too.

My life is in a bit of turmoil right now, so I can't join (sigh), but I'll live vicariously through your journey. Great challenge idea!

I'm considering reading Palace Walk soon myself. That’s a great list of books, and it sounds like a fun challenge. I’m considering reading Palace Walk soon myself.

I've realized that despite my good intentions, I'm not going to get to these books on my own unless I'm "challenged" to do so. Some of these have been on my shelves for years. And I love the idea of reading an unread author a month--I might have to steal the idea from you! :) Pour of Tor: This challenge has been great for me, so thanks for coming up with it!

Amos Oz, Saul Bellow, W. G. Sebald, Naguib Mahfouz, D.H. Lawrence, and Katherine Mansfield have all been on my to-read-for-the-first-time list forever, sadly neglected. <br/><br/>In fact, my wish list for this challenge is getting so long I am beginning to think I should make this a permanent resolution - read a new author from my "Duty Calls!" list every month. Perhaps I should see how the challenge goes first. :) I love your list, LBM. Amos Oz, Saul Bellow, W. G. Sebald, Naguib Mahfouz, D.H.
