Last year my job was part time and seasonal and this year I am full time student with little time off. Enjoying it but my reading is definitely going to take a beating.<br /><br />Yep, I read a lot more classics this year and I know you've been doing your classics challenge too. I can't get the book out my head either. I doubt very much I will ever have the courage to see the film.KarenSihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17875454663363953921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924802320400229726.post-2277610405711705862012-01-06T01:33:33.320-08:002012-01-06T01:33:33.320-08:00Woah, you've had a great reading year.

I thinkwe read a lot of the same books 2011 and a few of the books I'm looking forward to have been listed here. <br /><br />I find myself thinking about A Clockwork Orange every time I have a glass of milk, but still haven't found the will (or courage) to see the film.FBThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11655437171734022043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924802320400229726.post-41395896467260926952012-01-03T08:20:46.237-08:002012-01-03T08:20:46.237-08:00Bonfire of the Vanities has put me off trying any ...Bonfire of the Vanities has put me off trying any other books by him sadly. The only other one I have read is Hound of the Baskervilles which I didn't really enjoy. I do have The Sign of Four sitting on my tbr pile. Looking forward to that.

It left me with mixed feelings. Have you read much in the Holmes stories, other than "A Study in Scarlet"?Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15097908023032528200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924802320400229726.post-68234563104237648762012-01-02T07:20:04.248-08:002012-01-02T07:20:04.248-08:00Ryan, I love Agatha Christie.

I especially love Poirot.<br /><br />Ellie, I think a lot of us stopped that challenge. Reading more of what you want sounds like a good plan.KarenSihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17875454663363953921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924802320400229726.post-87963379093204477632011-12-31T09:34:11.742-08:002011-12-31T09:34:11.742-08:00I completely flaked on that challenge.

I think 2012 is going to be a year of reading more of what I want but at the same time trying to get through some of that teetering TBR!Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14377404526123600035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924802320400229726.post-55380809211314582892011-12-31T09:24:43.643-08:002011-12-31T09:24:43.643-08:00I don't know if you have read a lot of Agatha ...I don't know if you have read a lot of Agatha Christie, but I hope you can read a few of hers next year for your crime choices.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17786139533776263328noreply@blogger.com
