And all should celebrate my return!
But we'll get around to that. Since my last post I have finished four more books. I have also updated the Books for the Challenge so that it now works differently. Since my last post I have also come across a few books that I just cannot stand. So now the books I have completed are highlighted in green with a finished date beside them and the books that have been deleted from the list, and so I do remember them and why I am not reading them are now crossed off and highlighted in red. But anyways...
Since my last visit I have finished:
The Abstinence Teacher - the first book I have finished, which was not exactly what I expected it to be. I think for a person who does not believe in that type of sex education nor that type of lifestyle just because of the cult like feel there is too much time spent on the male character rather than the female character. It does take a good look at how hard it is to be in some of these religious groupings and how much a town can be influenced by these groups. Overall it was not a satisfactory book nor a non-satisfactory book.
The Story of O - which was more along the lines of what I expected, and then again not. I had heard about this book but only to my memory in a vague undefined way and as such I was surprised that I wasn't exactly surprised about the content but just the extent of it. Again this book did not leave me confused and upset neither did it leave me happy and contented. It was another average read, one that I would probably not suggest as much, just becuase of the content, as the last book.
Fight Club - I don't have much to say about this book. I slogged my way through it and am disappointed that I did. It's a guy book and I don't recommend it for those who don't like those types of books.
Sebastian - This is a book I probably could go on and on about but I'll try not to. This is one of the books that has just recently been added to my challenge list and all because I picked it up on a whim. The author has written a trilogy of books that I enjoy very much as well as two more novels that give short little stories about the same characters both before and after the happenings in the trilogy. I hadn't read any of her other work and while I have seen this book on shelves in bookstores lately I haven't been tempted to pick it up. I did here, since it is a library and it is free, and am glad I did. Like all of her books she doesn't exactly explaiin the world that you get thrown into with the book, but explains as the story progresses. I picked this book up two days ago and finished it today, but I should also say that I have done some substantial knitting in the last two days as well as having read Twilight for the 10th time. I enjoyed the book and didn't exactly want it to end, this resulted in my going to the library today to get the other book that has been written in this world.
By my estimations this now actually has me ahead by a week, as it has been nine weeks since I have started this challenge and I have now read a total of ten books. I will have no doubt finished one more by the end of the weekend and then will slow down, enjoy my knitting, and enjoy The Life of Pi.
