I've Been Reading Again
Really, it's getting rather crazy, just how much reading material I go through. Anyway, I'm up to 34 actual novels, read on my free time, not assigned in class (as if the teachers would assign anything so fun) or on the internet. Several of them are even new authors for me. Yep. Here they are.
You know, some day I'm going to actually study for finals instead of reading obsessively. I just watched the movie Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead again. I also read the play, but figured that that didn't count as a novel, so it's not in the list. Oh, and notice The Game? That's a brand new DWJ; 2007 copyright date. So go me. I still haven't read two of her books, but I'm betting they'll be easier (or, at least, cheaper) to get in Scotland. I don't really want to spend ten dollars when I could just go to the library, much as I love owning her books. Began reading C.E. Murphy, as you can see. Well-written but somewhat low on the morals standpoint. I was about a hundred pages into the next book in the series when I had to stop because I began to get uncomfortable, which is sad. Anyway, I suppose that makes up for Banshee Cries being more a novella than a novel, length-wise. Well, that and the bit where I seem to be reading a lot of 500-page novels this year. And I used to think 300-page was good, but no . . . now it's all, 500, 600, 700. And yet, 34 novels at four months in. I'm right on schedule to read 100 in a year. Huh. So much for that. And I thought I was doing so well, too. I guess it's because I didn't read many novels in February (although I read a bunch of other stuff, believe me) and it's catching up with me. Oh, well.
