Eh, I'm 26 books away from 500 for the year Larry Send a noteboard - 01/12/2011 03:38:09 PM
Not long left to complete challenges, if you're doing them, so full steam ahead. ;)

What do you plan to read this month?


I like to think I'll get to that at least. I posted earlier today on the OF Blog the books I really want to finish before the year is out, with highlights for those read or about to be completed, so I'll post a link to that. Then there are a few more I aim to complete, listed below:

Umberto Eco, Foucault's Pendulum (Italian, German, English)

Yumeno Kyûsaku, Dogra Magra (French)

H.L. Mencken, Prejudices: Fourth, Fifth, Sixth Series

Shirley Jackson, Life Among Savages

Kathy Acker, Literal Madness

Nicola Griffith, Ammonite

And of course, 2-3 dozen more books that'll occur to me later.

It's a good book, but in my memory doesn't have as memorable characters as P&P and Emma. Legolas - 09/12/2011 09:54:15 PM 828 Views

I just started Reamde by Neal Stephenson. Otherwise, no plans. *NM* Palatine - 01/12/2011 04:27:43 PM 415 Views
At the moment, Lawrence's The Rainbow. Legolas - 01/12/2011 09:10:27 PM 980 Views
Thoughts on The Rainbow... Legolas - 09/12/2011 08:08:51 PM 1057 Views
Currently Novik's Throne of Jade, next up likely either Atwood, LeGuin or Kundera. *NM* Legolas - 12/12/2011 10:04:57 PM 461 Views
LeGuin it is - Left Hand of Darkness is excellent so far. *NM* Legolas - 15/12/2011 06:35:44 PM 401 Views
And then Kundera, which was okay if a bit lightweight, now the new Charlotte Roche. *NM* Legolas - 24/12/2011 03:32:56 PM 433 Views
There! Very narrowly made it... that made 50. Doubt I'll get to 51. *NM* Legolas - 29/12/2011 07:11:38 PM 421 Views
