Book Discussion/Challenge 2015

Ikrrr, probably gonna have to buy them full/new price though. Not sure how I go about asking the library to get certain books but I might do that. OR i'll just go to waterstones see if they have either one.

I finished Carrie after about 24 hours I was so gripped to it, really good book tbh fully recommend it. I knew the vague start and ending of the book (from film trailer) so was astonished to see how there was gonna be 200 or so pages build up but hey he did it well. When I go to bookstore I will have a look for the Stephen king ones mentioned here and decide which I wanna purchase!!!

Starting to read Looking For Alaska now ove:

I see how it is.

made it to 84 last year lmao this year my target is 104 (2 per week) this year, although I've cheated a bit since I'm beginning with anna kerinina which I got half way through but never got a chance to finish. hoping to read some other (translated to english) russian classics by dostoyevsky and tolstoy within the next few weeks while I procrastinate from revision since my uni library has dedicated aisles of shelves for each. definitely need to read We as well, I found an ebook version but seem to have lost it now.

lisey's story is a good stephen king book @Intersocial; it's not much like his others but still has a psychological element.

Don't suppose you kept a list of what you read? Would be interesting to see what those 84 were

Of course! Sadly the list is temporarily lost due to my laptop screen breaking though

I finished Анн* К*ренин* earlier today while I waited for my beef stew to cook so need to find myself something new to read over the next few days to stay on target. Find me a mobile compatible ebook version of WE somebody otherwise I have to go all the way up the library steps tomorrow ugh

I'm struggling to work out which book it was you finished today lmao. Could you link me the list when you get your laptop sorted, looking to build my book collection and could use some inspiration

[karter]

started reading catcher in the rye, don't like it till now tbh

[Empired]

@Intersocial; I don't know how your local library system works but you should be able to request books online and they'll contact you when they can get it in.

I'm on a grand total of 4 this year hopefully I can do a bit more reading once exams are over next week.

- Anna karenina ~ leo tolstoy
- dr zhivago - Boris pasternak
- the adventures of dr Doolittle - Hugh lofting (it's a collection of short stories but I'll count it anyway!!)
- psycho ~ Robert Bloch. Read it before but got me excited for the new bates motel season comin up

I also found a quaint little book about flat sharing called "I lick my cheese" by oonagh ohagen but it was largely pictures of notes left in flats with paragraphs of comments beside each.

I got 5 Douglas Adams books (hit hikers guide, meaning of life, so long & thanks, etc) from eBay so shall be reading them when they arrive yay

Should have that list from last year by next week !

I read the Maze Runner and I'm currently reading On The Road by Jack Kerouac, I think that's 3 so far this year

[Showder]

I've read none so far - which technically is an achievement considering that I've decided to shift my attention to TV shows and cinematography.

I finished "Looking For Alaska" yesterday! Took me a while to do it because I just had no motivation to read woops, but seem to have got that motivation back

Really good book, fully recommend it to anyone tbh :}

I didn't actually realise what the "__ days before" and "___ days after" was leading towards, I assumed it would be a new romantic relationship and that the actual thing that happened wouldn't be till the end !!!!

2/12 done for this year, only slightly ahead of schedule haha. Next I am going to read um... I've completely forgotten tbh. I believe it was this: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/...-of-loneliness
