The plan (merging two goals) 2 years ago

After I have read the book of general ignorance, and any that I get for birthday or Christmas, all I will read will be Swedish books – either about Sweden and it’s people, by a Swedish author, or written in Swedish – maybe more than just one of those things.



Decided 2 years ago

I’m getting rid of the Alan Bennett books, now all I will have left is the Book of General Ignorance to read. Yay!



I'm thinking... 2 years ago

I might just get rid of the Alan Bennett books, I usually like his stuff, but these two are diaries, and to be honest, I’m really not interested. We shall see.



Finally... 2 years ago

...started the first of two Alan Bennett books, Writing Home. I am finding it hard going in some bits, particularly when he goes on about people in great detail, whom I’ve never heard of. Oh well.



Down to... 2 years ago

The third of the trilogy series, so once I’m finished with those I have a lot less books to read. Although the Alana Bennett ones are long, so they’ll take me a while. Oh well :)



Currently reading... 2 years ago

Northern Lights by Philip Pullman, it’s going well, I’m really enjoying it, it’s an addictive one, hard to put down :)

Somehow though, I don’t think my Alan Bennett ones will be the same. I do like Alan Bennett, but sometimes autobiography type books can drag a little.



Books in my list to read 2 years ago

1. Alan Bennett – Writing Home
2. Alan Bennett – Untold Stories (there’s an order to those, and I’ll read them accordingly).
3. The Book of General Ignorance (not so much of a book you can read from beginning to end, it’s like a coffee table book)
4. Philip Pullman – His Dark Materials Trilogy (looking forward to reading these the most).
