| Re: May you read a 1,000 books this month...
This month I have done far less reading than I normally would, due to some heavy-duty exams coming up to bite me, and much lighter than I usually would read. But I read too late in the night and here's the list....
Thanks to knivesout for this one I believe: Italo Calvino, If on a winter's night a traveller. Brilliant book perfectly, perfectly layered. Recommended to all.
The Firm: John Grisham--- can't believe I reread this book... but needs must when the devil drives.
Poems of Catullus: Another reread this one. 0_0 I read to see if they were as strange as I remembered them to be.. and was convinced.
The Loom of Youth: Alec Waugh.
The October Country: Ray Bradbury
The Positronic Man: Issac Asimov and Robert Silverburg... such a sad book
Assorted Hugo Award winners stories in Volume 4: Issac Asimov is such a lovely person. I really wish I could have met him.
Assorted other childish fantasy books such as my long outgrown but still secretly enjoyed favs.
Crime and Punishment again
The Fey Changeling
Fool's Fate
As you can see nearly every book is a reread. I simply have no money right now to indulge in the fascinating new authors appearing on the market. Other than those books, mostly classics such as 'heart of Darkness' Joseph Conrad, Brideshead Revisited, some book by Edith Wharton that I cannot recall the name of. And textbooks. Lots of textbooks |
