Slow reader

I'm a slow reader so I've only purchased one book in the last few weeks:

Nobble Hospital of the Aegean by Paul Judges - a story set on a small Greek island.

This novel is turning out to be something special...........I think I'll actually finish and enjoy it !

One book at a time is a great plan! Welcome to TBF. Hopefully we can help you find more great books to read.

Today I bought, at B&N, Travels With Charley by Steinbeck to hold me over until I get the Rutherfurd book which will hold me for a long time as it is 896 pages long.

I'm trying to be completist with certain authors. Ishiguro is complete.

Steinbeck, Nabokov, Hemingway, Yates, Fante; and then I'll see where I go from there. Although, of course, I don't exclusively buy them.



Should have used eBay; some are selling for less than C$6 here.

I probably should have, but I don't have a credit card to verify my paypal account.

Two more:

The Snapper, Roddy Doyle
101 Reykjavik, Hallgrímur Helgason

I've just received 'The Universe in a Single Atom' by the Dalai Lama. I've enjoyed documentaries based on the plight of the Tibetans and have been interested in the Dalai Lama's philosophical views on life. Plus he has a great smile

I'm with you, Breaca. I adore that man. Just looking at a photo of his face makes me feel optimistic about humankind in general. I'll be keeping my eye out for that book.

I just ordered:

WEIRD CALIFORNIA: Your Travel Guide to California's Local Legends and Best Kept Secrets. (I have a friend who is featured in it.)

[Fantasy Moon]

The Family by Mario Puzo
The Secret History of the Pink Carnation by Lauren Willig

Both were marked at $2 since the book sale store was getting ready to close this weekend. I am pleased with my purchases, but I have many books from the library checked out so it might be a spell before I can get around to reading my latest acquisitions.

Yup. My mom would be so proud of me!
