Finished 'Water for Elephants' by Sara Gruen. I really liked it!! I think I will have to check out the movie when it comes out!!
Didn't have any plans for the weekend so I stayed home, mostly in bed and read. Started and finished 'Slow Man' by J. M. Coetzee. It was a interesting read. A different perspective I must say. It was one of the books that I have collected intending to read sooner or later from the list '1001 Books You Must read Before You Die' by Peter Boxall. When I went to cross it off my list I found out that they have updated the list and a few of the books that I have read already have been deleted, including this one!!! Wow!! The only reason I read this book is becasue it was on that list!! LOL!! Oh well!!
After doing a bit of research I found out that there have been three books published, also found a list of all the books included in the three publishings for a total of 1294 books. I guess with each new publshing they have deleted some books to add more newer books. Not sure how they decide which books to add and which to delete!! I think I will stick to full list!(makesmy list not look so bad). So here is the total list with the ones that I have read marked: updated list of 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die (all included). May never get to read them all, but will have fun trying!!
Yes!! I have been reading, just forgetting to blog what I've been reading!!
I finished reading both book 2 and 3 of 'The Book of Swords' by Fred Saberhagen. Just before I left for a little vacation to see the kids and grandchildren. Very interesting if you like the fantasy sci-fi type. Kept my interest, although they were each fairly long books!!
Needed a break from that type of fantasy, and since I was traveling I decided to read a book of short stories about time travel -- 'Veils of Time', which included 4 short stories. 'And the Groom Wore Tulle' by Lynn Kurland, 'The Con and the Crusader' by Maggie Shayne, 'A Bride Most Common' by Angie Ray and 'Conyn's Bride' by Ingrid Weaver. All very entertaining and mindless, just perfect for long plane rides.
I noticed that 'Water for Elephants' the movie will be coming out in the next few weeks. I have had that book for a couple of years and hadn't read it. I just hate to watch a movie that was made from a book before I read the book. Mostly because the book is so much more than the movie.
So I sat down and started reading 'Water for Elephants' by Sara Gruen. Almost finished with it!! Excellent book!! I hope the movie can do it justice. Don't hate me for saying that I am not that great a fan of Robert Pattinson though.
