LOL.<br /><br />Yes, here's to casual reading in 2011. And other interests. :-)<br /><br />Pat: My favourite book of 2011 was Moab is my Washpot by Stephen Fry. A non-fiction! What a shocker!! I might do a quick post next week about my favourite books of 2010, we'll see. <br /><br />Oh yes... I too will definitely be doing Carl's challenges. Those are always a good way to get the tbr pile down. Except... well you know what I need to add. lol<br /><br />Yvonne: I'll check your answers out in a moment. <br /><br />Margaret: You have a very good point about the lengths of books. And I think it was Susan Hill in her book about reading who questioned the point of rabid counting of books read. She said that surely the joy of reading is in the content of the book, not in the number read. To me, it's like the difference between bird watchers and twitchers.<br /><br />I have to say - the meme you did was even harder than this one. I thought I would do both but yours defeated me.Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-3776372805845654762011-01-06T07:14:40.160+00:002011-01-06T07:14:40.160+00:00I always end up reading what I fancy too! I don...I always end up reading what I fancy too! I don't like to have a target of reading a certain number of books because that then becomes a bit of a race to read rather than reading for pleasure. Anyway what does the number matter when all books are such different lengths? If I only read short books I could read many more than if I read long books ...<br /><br />I've ended up last year reading far more crime fiction than ever before and I think that will continue this year - apart from that - who knows what I'll read.<br /><br />Those memes are hard!You have some great answers.Margaret @ BooksPleasehttp://www.booksplease.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-64695178563508023442011-01-05T21:42:38.224+00:002011-01-05T21:42:38.224+00:00Hi Cath,
I completed the same meme as yourself, o...Hi Cath,<br /><br />I completed the same meme as yourself, only I had not read half as many books as you, so it was a bit more of a challenge.<br /><br />I had fun completing it, although it was quite tricky in places. I certainly had a good laugh when I read it back, I sound like a complete nutcase!!!<br /><br />http://www.fiction-books.biz/my-latest-news-and-musings/my-life-in-books-2010-happy-new-year/<br /><br />YvonneYvonne @ Fiction Books Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821114534056290177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-55699707906148911532011-01-05T21:20:14.840+00:002011-01-05T21:20:14.840+00:00ok but what was your favorite book (or books?)
I...ok but what was your favorite book (or books?) <br /><br />I have no plans for this year in reading either..I know I will read more gothic mysteries and I have some biographies I want to get to . I will join Carls Once Upon a Time and RIP but I join to read only one so I have no pressure, but of course read more heh..DesLilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02582481597658080464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-3382391454858021532011-01-05T15:59:56.381+00:002011-01-05T15:59:56.381+00:00Relaxing enjoyable reading as you wish sounds just...Relaxing enjoyable reading as you wish sounds just the way to go! <br /><br />You were very clever to complete that meme... I haven't read enough books and I think my brain would fail that test if I had ...or a least get four faults and a refusal lol<br />A toast to reading for fun in 2011!Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03003915263556622215noreply@blogger.com
