Spring Reading Thing 2007

  • May. 19th, 2007 at 7:10 AM

It's time for another challenge!  Katrina at Callapidder Days has offered up the Spring Reading Thing:  
"Have you fallen behind on your To-Be-Read list? Do you have five books that you've started but haven't finished? Have you been meaning to get around to that great book your friend recommended but just haven't done it yet? Do you love to read and to find out what everyone else is reading? Then this challenge is for you!  ... It's all about setting goals and sharing them; little to no pressure."

Great idea!  I do have a few TBRs gathering dust.

Challenge completed 5/18/2007!
Read (with links to reviews):
1.  One Hundred Years of Solitude, by Gabriel Garcia Marquez (overlaps the Reading Across Borders Challenge)
2.  Cloud Atlas, by David Mitchell
3.  Beasts of No Nation, by Uzodinma Iweala (overlaps NYT Notable Challenge)
4.  Sense and Sensibility, by Jane Austen 
5.  The Thirteenth Tale, by Diane Setterfield

  • Mood: chipper chipper

Hi, thanks for the comment on Elizabeth Costello over at blogspot. I like a good book that makes you think, but the thinking in that book was too weird and hard. It might have been interesting to analyze in a university class, with other people, but I don't want to work that hard at home!
Do you mind if I add you as a friend here at lj? I'd like to read your reviews, and follow your challenges here. I like lj better for some things, but I put most of my book stuff at blogspot.

I'm in this spring thing too. I'm anxious to hear your review of 'one hundred years of solitude' I'm sort of interested, but I've heard mixed reviews. I've heard great things about 'the thirteenth tale' though, on my tbr list.

I am very interested in The Reading Across Borders Challenge, it sounds really cool. Your list looks great, I loved The Thirteenth Tale-it speaks to book lovers. I'm going to check some of your other books out, thanks!
