Book 2:The Crucible by Arthur Miller.
This novel: 91
Total: 587
Title: The Crucible
Author: Arthur Miller
Publisher: Dramatists Play Service Inc. (Along with a bunch of others, I'm sure.) (c)1952
Rating: 3
*Disclaimer: I know this is a play, not a novel. Calm down.
We did this play for drama club, so I've read it about one hundred times. I will only count one.
The plot line is pretty flat-lined. Proctor and Abigail have known eachother and everyone dies.
Also, Abigail turns out to be a prostitute, which is not -but should be- mentioned in the play.
Terribly written review is terrible.

Happy New Year!
This year is going to be a bit different.
Last year it was all about the number of books. This year, it page numbers.
My goal is 10,000 pages. Stick with me; this'll be interesting!
