i've heard of A Doll's House but i haven't read Ibsen's. one of the stories in Neil Gainman's Sandman books is also called A Doll's House though. (Sandman is on my list to re/read, now that i have the entire series.)

I read The Lion in Winter, which is an interesting play about the royal family dysfunction centering around England's King Henry and Queen Elenore. :]
I don't know if I've ever seen, er, read a funnier or more dramatic soap opera. <x'D

[trystan830]

they made a movie out of Lion in Winter!

[Merskelly Metalien]

I saw the movie too! :D With Sir Anthony Hopkins.
It was pretty neat. x}

[trystan830]

yep. i saw the movie once... a long while ago. XD

I failed in all the reading things! Or at least keeping track of things. Stress and such, and Christmas.

I signed up for SantaThing on LibraryThing so I have some mystery books coming!

Since my last post, I finished Moral Combat (good book! Actually a good argument and presentation), reading another McTavish book in my book reviews, along with a neat book called "Playlist" that presents classical artists in a more modern format.


I picked up 'Carry On' from the library, since I bumped into this Rainbow Rowel author who seems to be very popular though I've never heard of them. It's thicker than I thought.

Gah, I'm so not reading my last....8 books, if I counted right, in the next couple of weeks.
I have failed!
Though I might possibly get 1 more book read if I haul ass and ignore important craft projects that I have also procrastinated on longer than I should have...

[trystan830]

i've read i think two books by Rainbow Rowell... they're pretty good.

i'm currently reading a Chicagoland Vampires book - it's the Heirs of Chicagoland series, the sequel series actually. i hope to finish it by the end of the year.

[Merskelly Metalien]

eUe; I didn't get to reading (unless it was required for class) as much as I would've liked.
;~; Booo...I should do that more next year since I'll be taking the semester off.

[trystan830]

i imagine next week or so i'll set up the thread for next year. :)

[Kaderin Triste]

Lol. And I will transfer my list right over. XD
All those unfinished books...

[trystan830]

lol... fair enough.

[Kaderin Triste]

I feel like I accomplished nothing this year. Not just reading either, but everything. Like....what the f was I doing all year?
Of course for a few months there I was working with no days off...so of course I did nothing those months, but still!

[trystan830]

not that you did nothing - you worked! i did a lot of reading, crocheting, and in november writing. seems like every year for me. :)

[Kaderin Triste]

Yeah....unfortunately, all that work gave me was an undefeatable case of burnout.
