Alas, I slipped up and forgot to post yesterday. I actually did think of it after work, but didn’t have the time. And then forgot after my evening of fun & frolic. (Went to see the Newton HS band & choir perform at state contest with mum. Both were excellent. Oh, and in between performances, we picked up dad and let him buy us Japanese food for supper.)
Day4 – Book you hate
When I first thought of an answer for this, I thought “I don’t read books that I hate!” And then I remembered Eternity Weeps by Lawrence Miles from The New Adventures of Doctor Who series. Oh yeah, I hated that book. I even gave it a second chance. Didn’t work for me the second time, either. And when I later read Miles’ Bernice Summerfield novel, Dead Romance, I realized that Miles wasn’t writing for me. (I think I disliked that book even more than EW (ewwww!).) So I’ve avoided all of his other books.
Day5 – A Book you can read again and again
There are several of these, but the first that pops into my mind is Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. Such a joy to read.
Day1 – Book you are reading right now
Day2 – The book you want to read next
Day3 – Your favourite Book
Day6 – A book you can only read once (no matter you love or hate it)
Day7 – Book that reminds you of someone
Day8 – Book that reminds you on a certain place
Day9 – The first book you ever read
Day10 – Book from your favourite author
Day11 – Book you once loved and now hate
Day12 – Book that a friend recommended
Day13 – Book that makes you laugh
Day14 – Book from your childhood
Day15 – 4. book from the left on your shelf
Day16 – 9. book from the right on your shelf
Day17 – Close your eyes and get any book from your shelf
Day18 – Book with the most beautiful cover
Day19 – Book, that you ever wanted to read
Day20 – Book that you read at school
Day21 – most stupid book you read at school
Day22 – Book on your shelf with the most pages
Day23 – Book on your shelf with the least pages
Day24 – Book where nobody would expect you read/loved it
Day25 – A book where the main character is almost like you
Day26 – Book you would read to your children
Day27 – A book where the main character is your idol
Day28 – Thanks God this book was made into a movie
Day29 – Darn, why did they make this book into a movie?
Day30 – First erotic book you ever read
Day31 – Book series you are collecting
Trying to catch up here at LJ–wow, that’s a great list! I really need to reread all of HP again, too; I think the first time I kind of careened through it, desperate to find out what was going to happen next. 😉 It’s hard for me to think of a book I hated too; just like you, I don’t waste my time on books I don’t like, though then I remembered how incredibly disappointed I was by Craig Ferguson’s Between the Bridge & the River (did I write about this at SMAS or somewhere else already?) because I adore him, & was shocked to find it essentially unreadable. I may have to go back & read it again, just to confirm this, though that still didn’t stop me from putting American On Purpose on my Amazon wish list (though partly because I suspect he might be more entertaining when writing autobiography instead of fiction). Looking forward to Day 25 & finding out which main character is like you, in any case. 🙂
Looking forward to Day 25 & finding out which main character is like you, in any case. Heh – I haven’t read all of the Meme bits yet, but maybe I should. #25 will require some thinking, just like #6 has. Still not sure if that’s my best answer. 🙂
Oh dear, Eternity Weeps was by Jim Mortimore, so Mad Larry can’t be blamed for that one! I didn’t hate it, as I recall, but it definitely upset me.
You are so right! Poor Mad Larry, getting the blame… Still, Dead Romance deserves all that ire* plus more, so I don’t feel too bad for giving him the wrong credit. *He actually made Chris unlikable! How do you do that?????
