We are now celebrating the fact that I have indeed posted twice in less than a full week. This is such an improvement that if I feel good about it I might even post more often again. We are also celebrating the fact that I am now 5 or 6 weeks ahead of schedule (I did count but now I forget whether or not I have been reading for 10 or 11 weeks). You can feel free to double check me since sometimes my math, especially when hurried. I started the week of April 29th (that was the date I finished my first book) and it is now July 8th, I have read a total of 16 books, after the two that I will be discussing today. I believe this does make me very much ahead.
Though this challenge was to read at least 52 books with a goal of about 1 a week I will be very glad and rather proud to have beat this challenge by reading more than 52 books in a year. I am sure that I have indeed done this before.
In the last two days I have read two books. These books were Drunk, Divorced, and Covered in Cat Hair by Laurie Perry and The Purity Myth by Jessica Valenti. These books are pretty much the oppsite of each other.
Drunk, Divorced and Covered in Cat Hair: is a somewhat knitting books and a rather interesting if somewhat quick reading book. I was a little disappointed that I was able to read this entire book in under two hours. I suppose I shouldn't be though since I have usually read books by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee in an evening for less so I guss it is kind of expected.
The Purity Myth is one of the books that I only picked up because of my degree. In my last semester at University I took a course called Feministy Theory and it was enthralling. Many of the books that the professor mentioned I am eager to read and this happened to be one of them.
Once again I know this isn't a post about knitting, despite the fact that I am even starting another new project that needs to be finished by January 1st.
I will be updating my current projects to reflect all the projects that need to be finished by my deadline.
Well maybe soon there'll be a good post.
Luck,
Lady Polly
