My next ten ( not counting the one I am currently reading) will probably include:
The Jungle--Upton Sincalir
West With the Vikings--Edison Marshall
At Play in the Fields of the Lord--Peter Matthiesson
Darkness at Noon-Arthur Koestler
Notes From the Underground--Fyodor Dostoevsky...
Luckily we were never forced to read...these were simply many of the books available on our shelves. Well, the more modern ones are recent reads I have picked out for myself, usually without even knowing they were considered important reading.
I can't imagine being punished for carrying a...
Sounds like the list my parents kept of books for our homeschool reading. This is how many I've read so far...and I own about fifty more that are in my TBR stack.
Atonement – Ian McEwan
Life of Pi – Yann Martel
Memoirs of a Geisha – Arthur Golden
The Reader – Bernhard Schlink

I liked the ''Looking Glass War''...but it was a little strange. I'm not too sure even now whether or not I really cared for making all the characters warriors.
"Frankenstein Unbound" was excellent. One of my favorite reads for the year. It's about a man from the future...
I can't say for certain how many I read in December '07, but this is my list since then. A good deal of them are YA, as I sort of skipped over them in my childhood in my eagerness to get at the ' grown-up books'. June was definitely a slacker month due to the rose garden. Now that it is...
That's how I read when I was that age too. And I lived on a farm so there was a lot of work to do. All my friends were readers as well...that way we could trade books and have interesting conversations without ever uttering the dreaded summer phrase " I am sooo bored."
There would be no accurate way for me to tell. I used to own most of the books I had read, and that was well over a thousand, counting YA books. But the books and the lists of books I kept perished in a fire. I can remember though the year I was fifteen I kept a notebook to see how many books I...
Yes! It makes it really confusing. Especially when the stories are completely different. I recently bought a copy of "Candide" and the cover has a black and white photograph of a rose topiary. :confused:
Also there seems to be a great selection of books whose covers have blurred images of...
Yes. Both endings to the 7th Harry Potter book made me squirm.
" Rose Madder" was the one Stephen King book I threw down in disgust over it's ending.
The worst one this year however has been " The Stone Diaries". It was doing all right there at the beginning, and towards the middle I got the...
I've read "Darwinia". I bought it for the cover. :whistling: It was a pretty good read too.
Most of the time I have to ignore the covers so that I will read a book. Some of the newer editions of classics, for instance have such boring cover pictures that they turn me off the book. Especially...
I fall between moderate and voracious, I believe. I average ten books a month and I have many other hobbies as well, so reading is not all-encompassing for me. However it is the central part of my universe,( second only to buying books) so I voted for voracious.
25 and I've been hooked on books since I was born. In fact I can't even remember when I learned to read...I was tested as having a college age reading level in fourth grade. That made it very hard because we weren't allowed to read adult books in grade school! :eek:
