On the Road by Jack Kerouac
As you can see, we now have three triumphant titans of terrific grit. Bravo!
Unfortunately, I let myself down this month. Due to a combination of factors, I have spent far more time on personal exploits than I have this contest. But I have chosen my final challenge: the death-defying exploits of V.C. Andrews in the one that started it all (by all, I mean all those endless, terrible-looking sequels I see dotting the bookshelves and racks at the WalMart checkout line) Flowers in the Attic.
As for the rest of you brave souls: two months left. Sixty-one days. Can you handle it?

Yes. Although I'm going to have to grit my teeth and read the books I have half-finished that I'd otherwise never read. I walked through a bookstore yesterday and concluded that there's very little I won't read! There was this one book about how to save money...but I saved some by not buying it.
So I persevered, goaded by this update, and now have an entry for next month (http://necromancyneverpays.blogspot.com/2010/05/possessed.html)
