The list starts late, June 26, 2007 to be exact!
Cloned From:
Finally, someone that began and finished Don Quixote!! (^-^)
I didn't have read it yet. Is it good? Do you like it? What kind of novel this is?
A lot of actions? adventures? descriptions? (ó ô)
You went further than most of us. I bow to you... \(^.^\)
nance, am yet mid-way into the Good Old Don. i realized after your post that the list should only list books i'm DONE with and NOT currently reading :( since the Good Don will take a few more months, i shooed him off the list - i take him in a sliver at a time, and i tell you, that's the best way to take him :)
Take your time, you are still courageous! Even if it takes you a few years, I would still want your appreciation of it!
My longest read until now is one of my favorites, The Greek Myths by Robert Graves.
It took me 3-4 months to read! (@.@) But the price is worth it!
Lastly, I've read Matilda like you, but I found it too childish, maybe I wasn't in the mood. ('~`)
For Harry Potter, I will wait for the french translated version in the end of October.
I'm still thinking if I should re-read the series before the last is coming.
i'm on it, i'm surely on it :)
3-4 months still isn't long :) its quite good speed actually! Robert Graves is a familiar name, will look around for it though, thanks for the recommendation!
Matilda is a bit childish, i'm afraid, rather for the inner child the grows and plays within us all - i've always been a big fan of Roald Dahl, but i know what you mean about some children books being too "childish"... i just can't seem to wrap my mind around most of them.
ahh, harry :) i wanted to re-read book 7, and plughed throuh half of it, but gave up - its just too emotionally consuming. i'm one of those who grew up with harry, 13-14 when i read him first, so its quite and emotional attachment!
