[BoatieBird]

Thank christ for that - I can stop reading till January. Bloody books.

And what are the chances of that?

 

[billy_bob]

And what are the chances of that?

Yes, nil.

But now I don't have the self-imposed pressure of a target I might have a go at another big fat Dickens or two. I've made the mistake of leaving most of the lesser-known ones till I'd read all the others, so now I'm stuck with Barnaby Rudge and Edwin Drood. I read Martin Chuzzlewit earlier this year and that was the most put-downable of them so far. I don't know what it is - it's not just length, because Bleak House beats the lot on that front and I never lost interest in that.

It'll have to wait until I'm closer to my target as I have a couple of large books I want to read next. Or I could just read what I want I guess...

It'll have to wait until I'm closer to my target as I have a couple of large books I want to read next. Or I could just read what I want I guess...

It is weird us setting ourselves targets on this thread. I think I will meet mine this year, but it will be the first time for a while.

Where I mostly read ebooks I don't know how long they are going to be. I get grumpy when I find out they long before October.

What did you think of the Beatty book, belboid ?

A sharp and biting satire, exposing and ridiculing stereotypes in a frequently hilarious manner. No one escapes Beatty's cold hard glare, well meaning white liberals especially. Well worth a read, tho I did prefer the GM Burnett of the Booker nominees
