People keep telling me to read Pullman and I never quite get around to it.
And The Old Man and the Sea! Gods I loathe that book (200 pages about a man with a fishing complex and copious Christ imagery...no thanks. Oh, and Hemingway makes me angry). And The Catcher in the Rye is one of those books that changes for people when they re-read it at different points in your life (I've read it three times. First time, loved it. Second, wanted to slap Holden the whole way through, and third I just wanted to be done with it).
Book memes are dangerous. I need no more books. Really.
promised myself to not start a series that isn't complete Yeah, but sometimes they sneak up on you. Like, it was the Earthsea Trilogy. Then it was a Quartet. Then a Quintet, and I think now there are 6 books at the last count.
Catcher in the Rye bored me to tears as did the Old Man & the Sea. Didn't like the former much, never tried the latter. You can tell by the title it's going to be boring ;)
I wouldn't say it was cause it was so good but the last one was Deathly Hallows. You know, the girl I lifted the meme from used almost exactly the same words as far as I can recall!
