Woohoo! Made it to the end and I only missed 3 days. Rock on! This was quite a fun meme. And this particular post may be my most linked post ever...

Day31 - Book series you are collecting

Just one? I have several collections going: Discworld books by Pratchett, Song of Ice and Fire by George RR Martin, Vorkosigan Saga by Bujold, Poppy Z. Brite's ( Read more... )

Day30 - First erotic book you ever read

Hmmmm, does Are You There God, It's Me Margaret? by Judy Blume count? It was probably the most adult book I had read at the time - it even talked about *gasp* menstruation! Still, not really erotic, is it? Probably been banned as often as some erotica.

( The rest of the 31 days: )

Day29 - Darn, why did they make this book into a movie?

Fantastic Mr Fox. I wanted to like it, I really did. I love the book (by Roald Dahl). But the movie isn't really the book. Indeed, the book ends about halfway through the movie IIRC. I really need to rewatch the movie, give it a second chance, but I haven't gotten around to it. (Or gotten a ( Read more... )

Day28 - Thanks God this book was made into a movie

Well, I thank Peter Jackson, not God - The Lord of the Rings trilogy. When I first heard it was coming out as a set of live action movies, I resolved to read the books before it was released, and I did just that. I'm quite pleased that I read the books first, and even more pleased with the final ( Read more... )

Day27 - A book where the main character is your idol

Well, from Time Start, I've wanted to be Willy Wonka. But I've added a few other idols since Time Start, such as Granny Weatherwax from Terry Pratchett's Discworld books, Cordelia Naismith from Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan books, and the Seventh Doctor (and Bernice Summerfield, sorry, phlegethon_vii) ( Read more... )

Whoops - missed out on writing the 25th's entry before midnight, so I postponed it until today. Decided to write it now since tonight is card night at Aunt Becky's and those usually run LATE.

Day25 - A book where the main character is almost like you

When rembrandt13 mentioned that she was looking forward to my answer to this one, I thought, "damn, is there ( Read more... )

Day24 - Book where nobody would expect you read/loved it

Hmmm, I think I'm pretty predictable, book-wise, on what I'll read/like, if people know me at all. However, I suspect that some of my friends might be surprised that I've just checked out Drift: the Unmooring of American Military Power by Rachel Maddow since it's social studies-y (and I ( Read more... )

Day23 - Book on your shelf with the least pages

I've got some almost pamphlet sized books in my collection, but I think I'd classify my Jacob's Ladder book (Heaven and Earth by Sue Clarke & Hilary Arnold) as having the fewest pages. I mean, it's basically just a 4 sided piece of paper ( Read more... )

Woohoo! I am FINALLY caught up with grading! OK, so students were taking the final exam today and I'll need to grade it tomorrow, but the lab reports are GRADED! Woo! I've probably been behind for 8 of our last 9 weeks on this. Procrastination's bad, m'kay ( Read more... )

Back home and it's a good thing! Hope to have trip photos up later this week ( Read more... )
