I love seeing what other people have been reading especially when there is a good balance of things I’ve enjoyed and books I haven’t read. The likelihood being that i will enjoy the unread ones. I see you’ve read the latest Philip Reeve. I’ll be interested to see what you think of that.

Wouah, i’m impressed really. I counted mine yesterday and I read 66 books + 77 mangas. And I’d like to attain 100 next year, but I know I won’t do it, i’m just dreaming. And indeed like you said, it’s not about number, it’s about enjoying. That’s what I said to a friend the other day, because the year I re-read a lot of books,and she can’t read the same book again. I just said that I read for pleasure, and I enjoy reading again certain books, so why not?

Table Talk, the Philip Reeve book was a Christmas present and it’s very good. It’s the first one by Philip Reeve that I’ve read – his writing is so lyrical. I’ll write more about it soon.Virginie, welcome – you’re right it is about enjoying books – the numbers don’t matter.

Oh, I want to know about Four Stories; and I’d like to know what you thought about The End of the Affair and also, if you’ve seen the movie. I really liked both. And But Nobody Lives in Bloomsbury. Gatsby is probably one of my top five of all, all time. I wonder what you thought. As the old year winds down, I just want to say that your blog, and you are such a part of my life, now.

I love looking through people’s reading lists. You’ve accomplished a lot! You are very good to provide links to so many of your books–I’m not even sure I wrote (in any great depth that is) about all of the books I read. Did you like the Garner book? My goal is always to just read a book a week and if I end up with more (which for the last couple of years I have) I am very pleased!

Hello,I found your blog through Becca’s and was pleased to find some of my favorites on your reading list, too.On top: my all time favorite Joyce Carol Oates, with “Solstice” and “The Falls”.I also enjoyed reading Sir Walter Scott, “Ivanhoe” as a child, later D.H. Lawrence, “Sons and Lovers”, Graham Greene, “The End of the Affair” and Scott Fitzgerald, “The Great Gatsby.”http://olivia-kroth.blog.de.vu

Nan, ‘Four Stories’ is fascinating, especially the last one about the old lady who lived for 20 years in Alan Bennett’s front garden – I loved that book. I haven’t seen the film ‘The End of the Affair’ – the book is great. I read ‘But Nobody Lives in Bloomsbury’ in January/February. It’s about Virginia Woolf and her family and friends and made me want to know more about them and read her books – a really good book. As for ‘The Great Gatsby’ I’d been meaning to read it for years and I’m so glad I did, so sad and I saw the film afterwards and thought that was very well done. I talk about your blog to my husband and friends and look forward to reading it, you’re part of my life too.Danielle, thank you. I did like the Garner book, although I found it a bit difficult to get my head round the characters at first, I think, because there is so much dialogue. Sometimes the descriptive passages left me wondering what precisely had happened and I had to re-read several parts. I love your blog too – you always have such interesting books on the go.Olivia, welcome. ‘The Falls’ is my favourite Oates’ book, next to ‘Middle Age’. I didn’t like ‘Solstice’ as much – I suppose I didn’t like either Monica or Sheila very much, but the book is well written.I’m still thinking about which books I enjoyed the most out of this year’s reading. I’ll write about it soon.

Wow, what a list! You’re right it’s not about the number, but I do enjoy those times when someone asks me ‘well how much do you read anyway?’ and getting to see their jaw drop. You do have a nice mix of the new and the old(er). I am looking forward to you posting your favorites.

It’s not everyday that you encounter someone who’ve read close to 100 in a year much so give each book a deep thought and understanding. It’s very inspiring– reminding me to set a goal for 2008 as it approaches.

Wow! I thought I’d read a lot – I know it’s not about numbers, but I am aiming for 100 this year… two a week, shouldn’t be too tricky. Until I go back to university, that is…I don’t know much about But Nobody Lives in Bloomsbury, but it sounds exactly the sort of thing I’d want to read.
