Re: My most recent read was excellent, but I'm not sure "lovely" is an accurate description. Rebekah Send a noteboard - 01/05/2011 11:02:44 AM
How's your reading been lately? Managing to keep up with the challenges?

Pretty much, yes. I think I've covered most of the categories in one form or other, now, and I should be able to get to 50 without too much trouble - much more seems unlikely, though, unless I start reading shorter books or just start reading more.

I've hardly started the Genre challenge yet.

Can you recommend a good family chronicle? I've read The Poisonwood Bible and that's the only thing I can think of currently. :P

And what have you read recently that you think we should pick up?

Well, Blood Meridian is a great book, see my review for more details, but hardly the sort of book I can recommend indiscriminately. Current read is another Trollope, the weakest one so far I feel, so I'd sooner recommend Can You Forgive Her? or Phineas Finn.

I've been meaning to read more Trollope for ages. Must do that.

Not yet, but it has jumped right near the top of my To Watch list. Rebekah - 01/05/2011 11:07:31 AM 498 Views

I considered reading Persepolis after seeing the film. Do you know how the comic compares to it? *NM* DrJacJacMcScrumptious - 27/04/2011 12:16:16 AM 245 Views
It's really, you know, the same. Only without Chiara Mastroianni's voice, obviously. *NM* Legolas - 27/04/2011 07:12:32 PM 209 Views
I've not seen the film yet. But I want to now. *NM* Rebekah - 01/05/2011 11:11:12 AM 210 Views
