I haven't read that series yet either... it's on my list to read, but so are (what seems) a gazillion other books/series too- including the Maze Runner series (which the Princes are currently reading). At least I've read the Legend series? LOL
I'm limiting my goal to 30 books this year mostly because for the next two months I won't have a lot of time to read for leisure and somehow, reading books -or, more accurately, parts of them- for studying purposes doesn't seem "right", and it's incredibly hard to track (IMO) in terms of whether or not it's reading, or how much has been read, or whatever... and trying to figure that stuff out is a distraction from actually studying...

I'm going to add The Outsiders to my reading list as my niece is reading it for school and has to do a report on it. Might as well brush up on it if I am going to be of any help to her. And I have so many damn books that I need to read, including Gone Girl.
