You read much faster than me.
I only get through approximately 20-25 per year.
Books I Plan To Read in 2006

bookworm7601/31/2006

Well, I also tend to read two or three at once, for whatever insane reason.:]

cmonster07/19/2006

Two or three at once? No one can live at that speed!

So what did you think of Sirena?

bookworm7607/19/2006

If I only read one at a time, it's over too quickly. Even though it doesn't sound like it, I do savor each & every book that I read as a delicacy.

Sirena was interesting. I liked the author's take on the whole siren legend. I like it when someone decides to take a more personal look at a well-known story, & especially from someone on the other side: what happened to bring them to that point? Some people aren't as good, or as bad, as they seem. As much as I hate endings like the one of Sirena, it really couldn't have ended much differently. It worked.

cmonster07/19/2006

Some mythical retellings work for me (Gregory Maguire's Wicked), and some fall flat (every single chick lit book retelling the Cinderella story. Just. Stop.) It's a fine line.

Also? Thanks for not telling me the ending. :D

bookworm7607/19/2006

Yes, Cinderella has been done to death. But it will probably continue to be done into & beyond the zombie stage.

Tried reading Wicked, but I just couldn't get through it. An interesting twist on the original story, though.

I didn't know you hadn't read the book, but you're welcome.:) Though I haven't read them, I think Napoli has written some other retellings.
