I figured out one of the reasons I am so far behind Mim and Sarah is that that I pick up books that are recommended by various book clubs etc. No I am not currently in a book club. The book turns out to be too graphic for my taste either sexual or violent. I do read classics and good books and last Dec. finsihed War and Peace which is a difficult book to read. Maybe I just need to read the classics but no I want to try all geners.
Also I think I am behind the schedule because the books I have read are more difficult then Mim and Sarah's; they are only currently reading Young Adult Fiction. I would like to challenge them both to read a classic and something like I just read which is "Three Cups of Tea". This book is about a man name Greg Mortensen who is currently building schools in The Middle East. It is an interesting and informant book. I do think Greg Mortensen is a little off but you just have to read the book to understand.
With all that said I am going to read a coupe of easy reads. Good luck Mim and Sarah and please post more.

Out of the 39 books that I've read, eighteen would be found in the adult section of the library or bookstore.
ReplyDeleteI'll request Three Cups of Tea and give it a shot. And what classic would you want me to read? Keep in mind that I read a lot of classics in college, and so it would need to be one that I haven't read. I haven't read most of Jane Austen's stuff (just Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility and Northhanger Abby) Do you have a time period or genre or sensibility that you want me to choose from?
Also I really only give a book 50 pages, and if it doesn't have me, I put it down--then I'm not wasting time reading it.
