DIANE25.10 - BellaGBear's Task: OLD LOVE AND NEW LOVE
Read two books, one from the A option and another from the B option.
Option A: Unexpected pleasures
Pick one of the three option below and state which one you chose. For this option, read a book you haven’t read before written by an author you haven’t read before either.
Option 3: Wise women and men say it’s good, but is it?
Read a book written by an author from this list: Nobel Prize in Literature winners. Indicate the author when posting this task.
The Piano Teacher by Nobel prize winning author, Elfriede Jelinek.
REQUIRED: Indicate when you post that you haven’t read the book before and that the author was previously unfamiliar to you.
(This book also fits for Option 1, as it is #27 on the first page of the "Poorly Rated Books" list - and now having I read it, I understand why).
Elfriede Jelinek is a new-to-me author and this is my first (and LAST) time for reading the book.
For option B, a book you have read
Pick one of the three option below and state which one you chose. For this option, read a book that is a re-read for you.
Option 2: revisiting childhood love
Re-read a book you have read before you were 18 and loved, but haven’t read since. Indicate when posting that you haven’t read the book since you were 18.
I, Robot by Isaac Asimov.
REQUIRED: Indicate when you post that this book is a re-read for you.
This is a re-read for me and I have not read it since before I was 18. I read it the first time when I was in my early teens and going through a sci-fi phase. I read everything I could get my hands on by Asimov, Bradbury, Clarke, and other similar authors. My rating for the book remains the same after all these years.
