Random Read: "The Tragical History of Dr. Faustus" by Christopher Marlowe

A couple weeks ago I saw another blogger doing a "random read" and thought it sounded like fun, but the way she had selected hers confounded me. So, I came up with my own way to get a random read. I asked several people to provide me a keyword, which I accumulated, assigned a number, and then chose a number using Random.org. I then did a search on Goodreads using that keyword and chose the first ebook I found that I had on my TBR list. Complicated, but it did come up with something really random!

So, the keywords I had to choose from were: eternal, snowflake, dice, hope, luck, and castigator (yeah, I know - I actually used a random-word generator to select this one, just to have another word on the list). The one I ended up with was "hope", supplied by Junying Kirk. The first ebook I ran across in my search that I owned and had not already read was The Tragical History of Dr. Faustus by Christopher Marlowe, which I downloaded for my Nook in February of 2011 from ... somewhere. I didn't make a note of it. Before the end of November, I will try to get this book read and reviewed.

I hope you'll be looking forward to it as much as I am!

RCC wrap-up

Well as I suspected, I went backward. I read 32 books this month, and I won't bother listing them all here - you can see them to the right toward the bottom where there is a listing of many of my old posts - but I added even more to my To Be Reviewed shelf, leaving me with (at this moment) a staggering 554 books to read and review.

Ai-Yi-Yi!!!

And to make things worse, I'm planning to use April to read a few of the books I want to read that aren't on my "To Be Reviewed" shelf - I'll still read a few that require reviews, because I've promised to do so, but I have so many of my personal favorites I'm falling behind on that I want to get to them.

So, that's March. I might get another book up yet today, we'll see. Watch for a few book reveals in the upcoming month, and a couple giveaways! March is going out like a lion - then again, it came in like a lion, so who knows what April showers will bring? Tah!
