heya Saddaf,
i didnt enjoy 1000 suns as much as hosseini's former book. while the former is endearing, and a story that grows green on you, 100 suns seemed rather bland and forced. but its still worth a read. i do love the afghani culture hosseini describes so well, though :)
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!
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 :)
Have had proulx's shipping news lying around for years! need to get on to it.
wilde is a personal favorite :)
jon wertheim? is this the tennis writer jon wertheim or some other jon wertheim?
how was the moonstone? i always see it lying on a rack at my favorite bookstore, but have never bothered to buy it. should i?
its still a great reading record :)
50 books and its not even febuary! how do you do it nance?!
