Reading to the moon: Long belated update

[hhertzof]

I don't remember when I last updated this. Spring, last year I think. Anyway, dramatic progress has been made since then.

This update comprises 178 books.

You really do need to update more often!

Heidi by Johanna Spyri - One of those books I never read as a child. Perhaps I would have liked it better if I had, but I think my allegiance for this sort of story still lies with Five Little Peppers and How They Grew by Margaret Sidney.

Having read Heidi as a child and re-read it as an adult, and read Five Little Peppers as an adult, I prefer Heidi. I just like the character of Heidi better.

Lyttelton's Britain by Iain Pattinson - A collection of the introductions to various locales from I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue. A birthday gift from [info]paranoidangel42. Brilliant and hilarious.

And completely true. For a certain value of true.

It just kept getting longer and longer. It took me about 4 hours this morning and it was already about a third done. :(

I can see why other people love it. It just didn't evoke that reaction in me. I did like it, though.

Ooooo. I will be taking this with me on my next library trip...
