I finished Robinson Crusoe. Wow....that guy was kind of an asshole! Near the end of the book he is angered by some Siberians' idol worship, so he binds a bunch of them hand and foot, and gags them, and sets them in front of the idol, then burns the idol. That'll show them! Then he and his buddies sneak back to bed. The next morning the Siberians vow revenge and basically chase RC and his friends across part of Siberia....

Major fucker.

message 2916: by Fiona (Titch) (new)

Fiona (Titch) Hunt (titch) This morning I finished The Way You Look Tonight - Claire Matthews, which was a good short story Chick Lit. Now I have finally decided to read Design on a Crime - Ginny Aiken.

I have decided to do an A-Z of Authors over the next 12 months, plus add other books into the mix. Meaning reading at least 2 letters a month if possible.

I agree! I said after I finished that book that I was complete on vampires and never needed to read another. Lucky me, that gave me permission to give the Twilight books a miss and I feel better for it.

Louise I've just finished Journey by Moonlight by Antal Szerb, and really enjoyed it :-)


message 2936: by Fiona (Titch) (new)

Fiona (Titch) Hunt (titch) This morning whilst I laid in bath I finished Hostile Witness - Rebecca Forster, which was not as good as I had expected at the beginning, but near the end it started getting better. Now I am about to embark on Poison Study - Maria V. Snyder which has been recommended to me.


message 2937: by [deleted user] (new)

I am still working my way through Ulysess. Parts of it are like reading French, I can make out some of it, the rest is just words on a page. I read each one but no meaning is reaching my brain. :(


message 2938: by [deleted user] (last edited Sep 26, 2012 04:28AM) (new)

I just finished reading A Primate's Memoir: A Neuroscientist's Unconventional Life Among the Baboons. I really enjoyed it. I don't often read non-fiction. Maybe it's time to start reading more of it.


message 2940: by Fiona (Titch) (new)

Fiona (Titch) Hunt (titch) I'm also reading Morningside - Ashley Madau. So far I am loving this author's work x


message 2941: by [deleted user] (new)

I've been in a funk lately. I really, really loved Dear Fatty by Dawn French



Then I started a free firstreads book What Came from the Stars by Gary D. Schmidt




It's kinda cute, bit more juvenile than I was expecting. At first it totally wasn't, in fact it was a little rambly and confusing as the author often speaks in his made up language without any explanation of what he's on about (at the start), later he throws a word in here and there randomly, but it isn't so significant to the action. Anyway, it's a bit Thor/Loki and the Asgard meets Men in Black (with the necklace around the cat's neck), meets that Mel Gibson alien movie where the wife's dead and the boy has asthma...what was that again? Anyway, anyway, anyway, I'm just having trouble really getting into the story and I feel like I want to give it a fair shake, you know? I always feel that way about firstreads books, like I really have to give them a shot. Had I bought this book I would just pass it off to my nephew (12) and move on along. Nothing to see here.


message 2942: by Fiona (Titch) (new)

Fiona (Titch) Hunt (titch) Finished Poison Study - Maria V. Snyder this morning in the bath and have just finished a review of Morningside - Ashley Madau. Now I'm going to dip into Succubus Revealed - Richelle Mead as well as reading Reflected in You - Sylvia Day.


message 2943: by [deleted user] (new)

Still can't make myself pick up that book again...


message 2944: by Jim (new)

Jim | 6484 comments I have a hard time picking up that book too, but this book, and the other book I have no problems with.


message 2945: by [deleted user] (new)

message 2947: by evie (new)

evie (ecie) | 4437 comments I carry the hard cover version of The Terror in my bag each day when I go to work. It's 769 pages. I could knock out a commuter with it .

Took me a few days to read a PDF copy of 1 book and a few days to read my kindle book lol x

That looks like an interesting book. I read the GR synopsis. I can't imagine what her daily life must have been with all those fears. :(
