i have to read 12 books in the next week to get on schedule

i WILL accomplish 52 books in 52 weeks...


I WILL!

8/23/2010 10:20:20 AM

I gave up pretty early this year on hitting the specific number. Just too hard depending on personal schedule, length of books (I think my last 3 have all been over 1000 pages), whether you are simply reading for fun or taking notes/analyzing etc.

But I am glad that for the past 2 years I have been reading a lot more - like I used to when I was back in HS and younger. As long as you are making time each week to read, I think that is more important than 52 books in 52 weeks

8/23/2010 12:19:01 PM

YOU ARE WRONG!

i need a goal and this is it!



hahaha

8/23/2010 12:22:38 PM

haha ok fair enough

8/24/2010 2:32:59 PM

^I read most of them in high school, and I remember them being rather exciting/interesting. I've been thinking lately that I should go ahead and finish out the series.

What did you think of that Curious Incident book? I didn't really like it all that much.

[Edited on August 26, 2010 at 11:45 PM. Reason : Oh and how was Her Fearful Symmetry...I just picked that up cause I liked Time Traveler's Wife.]

8/26/2010 11:44:28 PM

^I read The Curious Incident..., and while it wasn't the greatest story, it was really fascinating to see him think through the things he couldn't understand. I felt similarly about Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

Her Fearful Symmetry is not nearly as good as The Time Traveler's Wife

8/27/2010 11:19:08 AM

^^That's what I figured about HFS. It only cost me a buck so I figured I'd give a shot and hope it didn't totally suck.

^I have been thinking about Eat Pray Love but I was hoping it didn't have a strong religious aspect to it because I really don't want to read about that. What was so bad about it?

8/27/2010 11:37:00 AM

The author is sooooo whiney throughout the book - failed marriage is her favorite topic to whine about - but yea, it got old about 20 pages in.... And continued for the rest of the book.

8/27/2010 11:44:26 AM

Hmm...sounds pretty bad.

I'm sure an influx of used copies will be hitting the thrift stores with the movie coming out. I'll probably pick it up for cheap just to check it out but now I'll know what I'm getting into.

8/27/2010 11:47:00 AM

For those of you who haven't read the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy I highly recommend you do. I know the first one starts sort of all over the place - it took me about 3 months of off and on reading to get like 100 pages into the first, but once those books get rolling they do not slow down. I finished all three within a week while on vacation - they are great books and the ending pays off sooo damn well.

I don't know why I like her books so much...they aren't great and can be a little boring but they are pretty fast reads and there is something enthralling about the time periods she is writing about

hey ShawnaC123, Byrn Stuff summed up both pretty nicely for me. I barely finished Curious Incident and only slogged through it because of the way the character worked through things he didn't understand until they made sense to him. I used to work with autistic kids and this was a neat view into their mind.

and Time Traveler's Wife is much better than Her Fearful Symmetry but I still liked it. The ending made me mad so I think it's one of those books that I'm glad I read but will never read more than once.
