Project 7767 revisited

Of the books listed below, I have either given up on them or still intend to read them. I have (obviously) decided that this project is not of tantamount importance and as such, will just move on. In a few subsequent posts I will give a short review of what I did read. And from here on out, I'll talk about what I'm reading. Or whatever suits me.

And onward to the things that I chose to give up on:
The Shipping News by E. Annie Proulx  (The sentence structure made me seriously annoyed. And the main character seemed flat and childlike.)
Dry by Augusten Burroughs  (I just couldn't. I don't know why I thought a memoir based around alcoholism would be interesting to me.)
The Eye of the World by Robert Jordan  (This is not my thing. It is difficult to explain, but I just knew. And I will not read 13 books hoping to like them at some point. No.)

Things I still intend to read:
The Great Perhaps by Joe Meno  (414)
The Complete Novels of Jane Austen by Jane Austen  (1103)
Stories: All-New Tales edited by Neil Gaiman and Al Sarrantonio  (423)
A box set of twelve plays by Shakespeare (1072)
The Gathering by Ann Enright  (261)
