Read all the books I have at home

AGW, I’m going to a book fair this Saturday (largest one I can reach).
At the same time, I’m going nowhere with this goal :(

I know I’ll spend the whole week looking for books to buy on sale come Saturday, and while I know I shouldn’t be looking for suggestions, I can’t help it….

3 down in the last month, dozens to go. Currently reading one off my shelf, too.
Yay, me!

I am so terribly behind on my reading, and it took me forever to finish this book, but I don’t know why. I honestly enjoyed it. The book itself is kind of slow-paced, maybe that’s the reason.
I liked the characters, but I always get attached to the underdog anyway. I liked the Newfoundland scenery and the stories of life over there. It was also funny because I work in ship supply and we depend on the shipping news…but it’s nothing like in the book, of course:)
I loved the bits from The Ashley Book of Knots (never even heard of it before), loved that.

I really liked this one.It’s short, very well written and bitter-sweet.

_{I cheated again: borrowed from the library, again, and not only this one…}

A well written book, but it annoyed me all the way.
It’s not that I believe everyone should live a nice suburban life of quiet desperation but I don’t approve of gambling with your own existance just because you are stubborn. I understand the need to go into the wild and find oneself, but to be stubborn enough not to take a topographic map with you, just so that you can pretend you are lost in the wilderness, now for me that’s just plain stupid.
Croatia is a magnificent and very diverse country with a long sealine and many majestic mountains and every year there are so many tourists and know-it-alls who lose their lives on account of their own arogancy, at sea, or climbing mountains, and it really ticks me off.
I do feel bad for this poor man starving to death in what he thought was a middle of nowhere, but I couldn’t stop thinking about all the people who want to live and it’s just not given to them.
I only finished it last night, maybe I’ll think differently in a few days.
Oh, and, I cheated: this one I don’t own, it’s from a library. I am terrible.

It is hard to say what I think about this book: I did enjoy it somewhat but it was boring at times; it is light read, but took me forever to finish; paints Tuscany in romantic colours, but I’ve always wanted to go there anyway; delights in some”Tuscan” moments which are completely normal here where I live…
Not bad I guess, but not my cup of tea.

I am actually reading a book from my own library, but at a ridiculous speed and I also bought 2 other books, which are now sadly put upon my shelves waiting to be brought to life.
I need to make a list of all my books, and tick them off one by one, combined with some other goals I have.

I’ve collected quite a number of them and plan to visit a book fair in less than a month, but I’ve decided it’s time to stop the piling up and start reading. I mean, I do read but books from the library which I visit regularly with all those books just sitting on shelves in my study. Time to reorganize my reading (and borrowing) habits!
