More Books 2009
Holy crap. I don't even remember everything that I've read since the last time I posted about books. Probably not much, as I haven't had much time. I'm pretty sure that the following is all that I've made it through since the 15th of April, but am not positive.
17. Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen. Re-read. Still wish I was Elizabeth
18. Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell. Re-read. Plot moves from light to heavy, from everyday to magical. Didn't notice on first read.
19. Mansfield Park, Jane Austen. Re-read. Fanny does get a little annoying at times, doesn't she?
20. Thursday Next: First Amongst Sequels, Jasper Fforde. Not nearly as charming as Eyre Affair.
Am currently reading the Alchemist. Finally. Have been trying for years to get my hands on a copy. Apparently when there are two copies amongst 19,000 people, it's way easier than three copies amongst 200,000 people.
I hope to get to 25 before the 8th of August. That would mean that the 50books pace was about twice my normal pace, which is probably true. Of course, it took me from the middle of May through the end of June to read Thursday Next, largely because of the packing and moving, so this year may be a little skewed. Nonetheless ...
