Yes it is. I was very pleasantly surprised by it. Definitely falls more in sci-fi than the horror genre. I see that the version I read is the 1997 updated version, but that the original was written in 1973.

Seems to be way ahead of it's time in concepts.

Thanks for the congrats! If only the sci-fi books I'm reading weren't such large volumes I might have finished that one too. ;)


message 166: by [deleted user] (new)

Hehe, I'm still struggling to get some books together for all my challenges and some of you are already done!

Yes, if I remember the Author's Note correctly he re-read the first one, thought it was total crap, and then rewrote it.

Finished the first 4 of the harry potter books again, I've read them 5 times already, but they are still fun to read.
But that means that I've finished numbers 13, 16, 19 and 25 of the cover challenge and can also add 4 to the book hoarders challenge.
So CC+4
BH+4
Total 32/50

As was pointed out to me technically the Book Hoarders challenge is for new books you bough but haven't read yet. So re-reads doesn't count. Unless the rules have changed again...


message 177: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Smith No, you're right Crusader. Sorry Barbara :(
The idea behind Book Hoader's is for people who collect more books than they can read to make some progress on the unread books on their shelves or computers. It's about making your tbr pile a little smaller, hence no re-reads. Also, no books acquired after the challenge began on November 1.

That's ok, I didn't know that. I still have loads of books I have bought but never read. Most I haven't even put on my to-read list, because it just takes to much time. I haven't bought any books since November 1 due to a cash flow problem so everything I'm reading has been in my possesion for a long time. Can I use re-reads for other challenges or are they excluded from all challenges?


message 180: by Crusader (new)

Crusader (crusaderza) | 2457 comments Mod
Re-reads should be fine for other challenges. Only the whole BH concept prevents re-reads.

Just noticed that Frankenstein would work for the Sci-Fi challenge as based on mythology. I finished The Strain intending to use it for #1, but it's not really science fiction, it rather falls into the horror genre.

Cover #3: +1 = 13 (The Strain)
Sci-fi #1: +1 = 23 (Frankenstein)
UTR: +1 = 12
