My new obsessions are bookshare and csicons! Lol. There are four and a half weeks left of classes before exams and I'll officially be finished my first year of university, which is absolutely unbelievable to me. My book challenge this year is fifty books from September '06 to '07 (because school years are truly how I count!). So far I've read:
Lord of Chaos ~ Robert Jordan (716 pages)
The Historian ~ Anna Kostova (642 pages)
The Nanny Diaries ~ Emma McLaughlin & Nicola Kraus (368 pages)
A Crown of Swords ~ Robert Jordan (684 pages)
Drums of Autumn ~ Diana Gabaldon (1070 pages)
Oedipus Tyrannos ~ Sophocles (42 pages, play)
Play ~ Beckett (12 pages, play)
In the Skin of a Lion ~ Michael Ondaatje (244 pages)
Life of Pi ~ Yann Martel (356 pages)
# of Books Read: 7/50 = 14.0%
# of Plays Read: 2
# of Pages Read: 4696/30000 = 15.7%
I'm still working on: Deception Point (Dan Brown); Eats, Shoots and Leaves (Lynne Truss); and Pride & Prejudice (Jane Austen).
I liked The Historian, but was disappointed by the ending. # 6 through 9, Pride & Prejudice, and The Importance of Being Earnest (play) are all for English class, but are also all very enjoyable. Of course, I adore Robert Jordan's WOT series. The Nanny Diaries was intended to be transitional fluff, but was pretty funny and now my mom's reading it. Go figure. Coming up after exams, I plan to finish Gabaldon's last two novels in the series, Chainfire to finish off Goodkind's series, and how ever many books I have left to finish WOT. Phew. That's a lot of reading :) Cheers all.
