Reading

[ruchel]

I've ordered some books I found on Disturbingbooks (LJ community). My husband says it's a bad, bad idea. But I got curious and yeah... I need something to read. I've sadly abandoned my parasha book more or less... I'm so far behind now... and I've either finished or abandoned the other readings. The mikve anthology, for example. So many things in

I abandon two out of three books I try to read, I think. I used to read every single book I would find...I guess I just went lazy. Another big fault is that I "jump" pages, read the end before the end, start again anywhere - I don't have the discipline to read properly and it has spoilt many books for me. Do you do have the same problem ?

Anyway, I just read a book called Bad Science, which was interesting even if a bit annoying. It was my first entry in LJ :)! What books have you ordered ?

We're really the same...

I have a "trou de mémoire" (memory hole?) about the titles, and about how to say "trou de mémoire". lol
I'll tell you when they arrive.

Maybe "trou de memoire" doesn't exist in English ? At any rate I forgot about how to say it too, lol.It is possibly a French speciality. I think we are still too young to have "senior moments" ;).

Thanks for the mentionning the disturbingbooks group...I just read a very disturbing book today (All the lights in the house burnin', by Andrea Levy) so it's a welcome coincidence.

I am def looking for new books to read - any suggestions appreciated !

It doesn't exist in English; it's one of those untranslatable idioms.

I used to read a book a day. Not so much any more. I blame higher education.

my chassidishe great grandma read a book a day. But she was special, imagine going to commercial school when you're chassidish and born in the 1890's...
