I've finished this one!  Woohoo!  I really didn't think I was going to make it.  I left Vanity Fair until last and it is quite a chunkster.  Somehow I finished it with time left.  I completed all 6 required categories and 4 of the optional categories (no Russian classic for me), which entitles me to 2 entries for the big drawing.

1. 19th Century Classic — Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray (12/18/13)
2. 20th Century Classic — The Reader by Bernhard Schlink (1/24/13)
