Charbel's 2014 Reading Challenge

[Pink]

Yes I was going to say that before, I read The Kite Runner over a year ago and think that my memory of it will have faded enough by the time I pick up A Thousand Splendid Suns. I think I need a break between most authors, but some favourite ones I can read in succession.

[Bionic Jean]

No not at all Charbel! It was a most informative - and I suspect realistic - review. I never let anyone put me off a book completely, just delay it a bit so that I can read other things. And I hope others feel the same way if I've written a negative review. After all, that's mostly what they're for, to give our personal reactions :) So thank you!

[Charbel]

Total books read in May: 7 books.

[Charbel]

I've seriously fallen behind in my challenge! I have a lot to catch up on!

[Charbel]

A disappointing 3 books this June! But I can't be blamed on the account of my finals.

We all have months like that, Charbel. I hat it when my job gets in the way of having fun!

[Charbel]

Classics part 1 is completed!! Better late than never, right?

It isn't late if it is still 2014! ;)

You had some pretty long books in that section -- Don Quixote, for example!

[Charbel]

Yes, I think that was the most challenging section in my challenge.

Books left in my challenge

Fiction Part 1: 8 books
Fiction Part 2: 1 book
Classics Part 2: 3 books
Non Fiction Part 2: 1 book
Series: 1 book
All About Women: 3 books
Total: 16 books left.

Finished the series part of my challenge. I can take pride in having reread the entire Song of Ice and Fire series, considering that each book of the series is bigger than a brick.

Yes indeed! And only 16 books left is great too :) Good going Charbel...

[Charbel]

Thanks Leslie! And I've already read 60 out of my 100 books 2014 goal. I'm a bit behind but I think that by the end of September I should be well ahead.

[Charbel]

Done with Nonfiction part 2!!

[Bionic Jean]

You're making great progress there, Charbel :)

[Charbel]

Thanks Jean!

[Charbel]

I just finished The Bell Jar. It was a good read. A very heavy book. I only gave it three stars though, because i wasn't fond of Plath's writing style.

[Charbel]

I have completed my fiction part 2 challenge. Now I'm working my way through part 1.

Congrats!

Thanks Heather. It's as if I had all this built up reading energy during the summer term.
