I finally got around to doing this. Life has been crazy the last couple weeks after Christmas. I'm working 60 hours this week, no joke. Though I'm annoyed that I can't keep up on all of my new years goals, I'm feeling pretty grateful that I'm working at all. I hope you all have just as much luck.
Did you finish reading all the books on your fall reading list? If not, why not?
No, some of them I didn't like and so didn't finish. Then I'm still halfway through the last one.
Did you stick to your original goals or did you change your list as you went along?
I mostly stuck to my original goals. Though, I really didn't change the list when I dropped some books out.
What was your favorite book that you read this fall? Least favorite? Why?
Favorite - The Hero of Ages. So Awesome! My least favorite would have to be Life of Pie. I read the introduction and the first three chapters (which made no sense at all), realized it was literary experiment type novel and decided to abandon ship post haste.
Did you discover a new author or genre this fall? Did you love them? Not love them?
Well, I did really like Sharon Creech's novel, and have thought about reading more of her stuff. Other than that I didn't really find anything new. Though, I don't like literary stuff that exists just not to make sense, like Life of Pie. I like pretty writing, I do, and I like profound messages, I do, but I don't like them at the expense of clarity. Once a book starts to obscure its message with wierd tricks I'm out.
What was your favorite thing about the Fall Into Reading challenge?
I like the fact that you can list whatever books you want.
Would you like to participate in another challenge here this spring?
Yes, Please!
