Quiet Man Cometh 12-10-2018 02:54 AM

Suddenly decided to be more Danish and was reading parts of my left-over Karen Blixen reading from school, but I'm not really sure where to go besides keep reading my half-finished things.

LibraryThing has a blog out of people's best 5 books read in 2018. Here's my list (even though two of them aren't finished).

Where the Red Fern Grows
My Friend Dahmer
Mary Who Wrote Frankenstein
VAS: An Opera in Flatland
Tales From the Inner City

It's probably not what most people think it is, going by the usual media thing. No Igor, now "It's alive! Mwahahahaha!" and a lot of "Oh $%&@..."

trystan830 12-15-2018 12:37 AM

yeah, it's okay. but i do want to read it. =)

I was actually reading Frankenstein and got through it nearly halfway! Quiet Man Cometh is right, it's actually a strangely tragic and beautiful story that is really nothing like what movies and media have used the title for. I want to finish reading it, but...>->; I flippy flop into other books and things and never got back to it. My poor copy of it has pressed pages thanks to my bookmark being in there so long.
I cannot recommend it enough if you enjoy old literature and gothic atmosphere. :3

trystan830 12-15-2018 02:22 PM

thanks for that insight, Merskelly! maybe i'll get round to reading it in 2019.

trystan830 12-20-2018 01:50 PM

i promise sometime in the next week i'll get off my laxy butt and post a new thread for the 2019 reading challenge! =)

*prepares to copy and paste all partially read books to the new list*
XD
I doubt I'll finish any more books this year, but if I don't take any chainmaille or loom supplies, there's a slim chance I could finish one or two more during my annual Christmas "kidnapping".

trystan830 12-20-2018 11:25 PM

Merskelly Metalien 12-21-2018 04:04 AM

trystan830 12-21-2018 11:50 PM

Except loom knitting

Kaderin Triste 12-27-2018 01:52 AM

Well, not much of the year left, but I finished another book (woo 10/20 done!) and might just be able to finish 1 more if I postpone my loom knitting until next week.

trystan830 12-27-2018 12:14 PM
