Been buying tonnes of books recently- so many that i've had to give up another shelf.
Now the project basically involves me reading all of my books and recording what i've read and how long it took and what I thought of it. Now I warn you, my reading is a little rusty because I haven't had the time to read hardly anything the past two years which is so so shameful, so it may take me ages to read what seems like an 'easy read'.
So here goes:
1) Pride and Prejudice- 5-6 days
Now i've heard so many people call this the longest and most boring book they've ever read, however I think it's quiteposibly the best book i've ever read, having watched the series and the movie which does the book absolutely no credit and chose the actors poorly. I found reading the book a lot more informative on every character and allowed me to explore and empathise as well as comprehend each of the situations and characters which the movie failed to achieve.
2) Room- 1 1/2 days
Room is quite possibly the saddest book i've ever written, the mystery litterally unravels within the story and its utterly heart breaking. After reading the book I did a little reasearch and found it was influenced by a true story. I found it quite a frustrating and unbarable read as well as very compelling, purely because I could almost imagine being in that given situation and I found it incredibly easy to relate to 'ma' and felt every bit of distress.
3) Alice In Wonderland- Less than 1 day
I've never read Alice in Wonderland before and its been years since I watched the movie, so I was quite rusty on my memory of what actually happens. I found the book cery compelling to read on and found it really quite cheerful, being a fan of Lewis Carroll anyway I new I would probably like the book. I do love a bit of good old fantasy and queer/absurd story lines, however, I found it rather difficult to keep up with what was going on and found it really quite bizarre (as it was) but none the less a very good read.
4) The Rainbow- In the process of reading.
5) Lord of the Rings- Trilogy- In the process of reading
