The 2012 Reading Challenge Discussion Thread

[HK]

I have no life, so read most evenings for several hours.

See I used to be like this. Before the internet :ninja

I shun the internet for a good book, but only for the couple of hours it'll take me to read it all

My life is work. I chat a lot on Skype and yahoo so guess of I stopped doing that I'd read more.

I'm way off target. But I knew I would be. Should get a few more books done in the coming weeks because I have to read them for my dissertation.

I'm reading The Hunger Games since people were talking about it on here. I'm not far into it but I really like it, especially since I really don't know what is going to happen cos I knew nothing of the book til I heard folk talk about the film.

When I can finally hang my pen up, I shall get round to reading a number of books I want to.

Like Jurassic Park, Name of the Rose, True Grit.

I have been terrible lately. I need to charge my kindle and get my finger out.

I'm really struggling with a book a book I started yesterday afternoon (The Seducer's Diary). It was written in mid-1800s and it is an awful read. One single paragraph will go on forever (had one that lasted 3½ pages and it's a tiny font!) and the sentances are really really long winded. And nothing happens. He's meant to be seducing some girl he's just met but he keeps rambling about nothing at all. I've read other books from this period, so know how long winded they can be but this is something else!

I'm considering putting it by my bed so when I get insomnia, I can read it.

You have more determination than I do, I would have given up long ago.

 

[Abcinthia]

If it was a library book I would have lol.

But as I bought the book I really feel like I should finish it.

 

[dancingpotato]

Ah ok, that seems like a fair game.

*sigh* I'm so far behind with updating the books I've read that I give up. :ninja I've been reading I just keep forgetting to keep track of which books. :ninja

I'm on a long book at the moment so I haven't had much to update, but I know I've got a few short ones I want to read after that won't take me a week each, so it evens out


I'm actually looking forward to getting to the end of the year and being able to look back at everything I've read.

 

[Abcinthia]

I haven't updated my challenge in a while, so I'm going to have to go through my recently read books on goodreads and do so.

I've finished my 90th book this year though
