I'm on the fence. Curious enough to know if he does, in fact, mature. I'm of the belief that men of a certain age don't really ever "mature". If they haven't learned how to play by the rules by high school/early college, chances are they never will.
So, I don't have very high hopes for Mr. Angstrum (and too bad I couldn't count his last name as that "a" I needed!), but I do believe it is a prize winner - Pulitzer or NBCC - and I do tend to gravitate towards those.
BTW, my husband says I do NOT need any more motivation to read. He's not talking to you right now ... LOL!


Wow Thing Two - you've almost got a rainbow. Great going!

It would help me if you itemize your points. Take a peak at how others have scored their books. Thanks - I hate to be a pain.

@jaxnsmom - thanks!
@Janice - I'll update these today. I think I counted the R in Balzac.

I like your choices for the books you've read. I had forgotten about Balzac and the Little C..."
My hubby woke me up early to remind me this was the last day of the toppler challenge and I HAD SOME READING TO DO!!! I guess I'll keep him around for another day, at least.
Here's my review for War Dances . It was a very interesting collection. http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Yeah, I pretty much suck at following the rules with those monthly challenges; I'm not a jewel-y/fairy tale reader, but this one was even flexible enough for my tbr list.

Then the alphabet challenge should fit right in to your style.

You've seen my lists, right? Already have "A" loaded on my ipad for tomorrow.
