The year is 1945. Claire Randall, a former combat nurse, is back from the war and reunited with her husband on a second honeymoon--when she walks through a standing stone in one of the ancient stone circles that dot the British Isles. Suddenly she is a Sassenach--an "outlander"--in a Scotland torn by war and raiding Highland clans in the year of Our Lord...1743.
Hurled back in time by forces she cannot understand, Claire is catapulted into intrigues and dangers that may threaten her life...and shatter her heart. For here she meets James Fraser, a gallant young Scots warrior, and becomes a woman torn between fidelity and desire...and between two vastly different men in two irreconcilable lives.

Chunkster Reading Challenge - 2010

I've seen the Chunkster Reading Challenge around before, but I haven't been adventurous enough to join before now. This time around the challenge is being hosted by Wendy on its own blog.
Definition of a Chunkster:
- A chunkster is 450 pages or more of ADULT literature (fiction or nonfiction) ... A chunkster should be a challenge.
- If you read large type books your book will need to be 525 pages or more ... The average large type book is 10-15% longer or more so I think that was a fair estimate.
Visit Wendy's sign up post for the rest of the pertinent information!
I'm signing up at the The Chubby Chunkster level. Which challenges me to read 3 chunksters.
- Under the Dome by Stephen King
- Outlander by Diana Gabaldon
Book ideas:
Outlander by Diana Gabaldon {library has}
The 19th Wife by David Ebershoff {library has}
Bitten (Women of the Otherworld, #1) by Kelley Armstrong {library has}
The Green Mile by Stephen King {I own this} This would also qualify for the Read the Book, See the Movie Challenge if I watch the movie after reading.
