You know, I don't remember being super amazed by anything. nossy Send a noteboard - 18/12/2011 11:59:23 AM
I read The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, which I liked, but didn't LOVE. It was entertaining. Interesting look at German occupation.

I did genuinely enjoy your Bone People though. I was somewhat disturbed by some points (beyond what was necessary, imo), and the end bothered me slightly, but it was overall a very intriguing and thought-provoking novel.

The Last Stand by Philbrick was really an eye-opening account of the Battle of the Little Bighorn. Sheesh. People are psychotic. I like naps and all, but probably not when Indians are trying to kill me.

Reading 2001: A Space Odyssey right now, and am finding it very addictive. I like it already, but am not far enough in to comment on content or resolution.

Love LotR as always.

...

Maybe I need some extraordinary recommendations. Oooor, John needs to get my Christmas presents out of the library room so that I can get in there!

I would share details, but I always wait until the 31st to write a detailed blog post Larry - 18/12/2011 08:12:36 PM 790 Views
In Cold Blood was probably the best, Black Out/All Clear was pretty bad. *NM* Orange - 19/12/2011 10:57:23 AM 364 Views
I didn't read as much as most of the people here Tom - 19/12/2011 01:37:07 PM 837 Views

Was that just because you didn't get it, either? Legolas - 20/12/2011 07:34:14 PM 811 Views
Yeah, it just didn't seem to gel properly. Stephen - 01/01/2012 04:01:45 PM 846 Views
