~A TWO AM CONVERSATION~
"Yes, Papa."
"Do you want to read it?"
Again, "Yes, Papa."
A tired smile.
Metallic eyes, melting.
"Well we'd better read it then."
Markus Zusak's The Book Thief
- Ok, because I am lazy and haven't reviewed any books for months, I flogged this meme from
- Name a book that you liked that was at least twenty years old.
Sweet Thursday, John Steinbeck. I love love loved it, but am too scared to re-read it in case it is not as brilliant the second time round. - Name a book that you liked that was at least ten years old.
The Alchemist, by Paulo Coelho. I adored the ending to this story. - Name a book that gave you hope for the future.
A Little Love Song, by Michelle Magorian. An odd one, perhaps, but there you go. - Name a book about the past that you believe has important lessons in it.
King Matt the First has lessons for both children and adults, on many levels. - Name a book that taught you something.
Three Men in a Boat taught me an awful lot about how not to do certain things! - Name a book with a character who really stood out.
Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close. Oscar is a beautiful character. - Name a book that was a re-read that you really enjoyed.
Howl's Moving Castle, Diana Wynne Jones. A brilliant book, with one of my favourite couples. I read a bit of her other stuff this year, too. HMC stands out, though. - Name a book that made you cry.
Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, by Jonathan Safran Foer. Also Goodnight Mister Tom. That always gets me. - Name a book that you disliked.
White Tiger, Kylie Chan. Awful, awful writing, and a rubbish story line, and I am masochistic enough to make myself read the rest of the trilogy. - Name a book that you would buy for everyone you know.
The Lives of Men and Women. There is something everyone can relate to in this, I think. - What were your favourite books of January-June 2009?
Sweet Thursday, Cannery Row, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, The Alchemist.
