The Eleven Thousand Rods by Guillaume Apollinaire - Sick (as in pathologically sick) porn. No, no, no. NO.
Amado amo (Beloved Master) by Rosa Montero - the ramblings of an anxious mind.
SeinLanguage by Jerry Seinfeld - I laughed twice
How To Kill Your Family by Bella Mackie - crime(s) story, boring at times (could have been at least 100 pages shorter), but the ending added to the rating. Perhaps the only one in the list I would (half-heartedly* recommend.
Oh I loved "How to kill your Family"! Took it on the whole family weekend away ( no not looking for tips or advice!)and BOTH my girls started to read it!!
I've never found Seinfeld funny... Sometimes, you read "bad" books because there's nothing else available. But you know about them than anyone else. =)
@marlboromaam Well, I'm no big fan. The book popped out in the library shelf. And I said: why not? Luckily it is an easy read. I did like a thought he says his father taught him: if you have a gift, you should give away, gift it forward. A most generous and lovable thought.
@30pics4jackiesdiamond I find the story too superficial for the amount of pages it has. Of course, that is purely subjective. :D But the ending surely made up for the boring bits. That made the book worth reading.
This happens to chaotic readers. My readings are based on the feel of the moment. I do have a list of books to be read, but that sits tightly put away :D
The first volume was too much to finish.
The other three, they were not that bad. But not good either. I am not crying over the time I spent with them. I claim that I know when to put a book down. No harm done with those three.
Thank you very much, @ludwigsdiana@bkbinthecity@30pics4jackiesdiamond@boxplayer@christinav@marlboromaam@rensala and @pyrrhula
@kjarn Kathy, do give it a go. It really is not that bad. Just do not expect too much. Maybe you will be surprised. After all, Jackie is enjoying it. Her daughters as well. Maybe it's just me. It would be even more interesting to see your opinion on this.
@monikozi LOL! I have a few things to gather for your package. It will be much later than I wanted, but it will get there. I'll let you know when it's mailed.
@marlboromaam Oh my!!!! You really do not have to!!!! But now I am so eager... 😀
Oh dear me! It is not what i meant with the thought from the book... 😬 i'm embarrassed
Unfortunately I am not familiar with these books, so I cannot comment. But I do admire the fact that you manage your time so well and can read a book a week. I don't like to read library books because they are often very second hand and disgusting. So I prefer to buy what I'm curious about. But I have over 1200 of them and I can't fit any more in the room.
@borof Thanks! I really love the feel of old library books. I'd love to work in a library. Unfortunately I have a severe allergy to the books dust. But that does not prevent me going to the library to borrow books. Because of space, i avoid buying books, especially those i don't know about. I now use an e.reader and electronic books are much much cheaper. And the space problem is also solved.
Every year, I aim to read at least one book a month. Every supplemental book is a bonus.
