I agree with the date.

It seems fine to me.

There must exist a smartphone app to guide you easily from home to the library. I wouldn't know, my smartphone doesn't retain the apps and I stopped trying.

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Philip K. Dick are on the same vein as 1984, but wholly different. They're also smaller, so they're good to help get back into reading.

Welcome to the forum, MrB. Goodbye, MrA.

I'm interested, count me in. How does it work?

Battlestar Galactica: Remake 2x11 - I was a bit unfair earlier; the show has some tropes and structuring proper of a tv series, but it has a good story and it deals with complex themes in a way sci fi usually ignores or fails to transpose. The Pegasus situation is interesting.

Then I may have made a mistake in not bringing it. However, I once bought My Struggle:1 - A Death in the Family by Karl Ove Knausgaard because I read some of it in the bookshop and really liked it. I was enticed by all the talk of it in the european media. Have you read it, if so how is it compared to Stoner?

I know it was some time ago, but I didn't notice it. I want to read this book as well, your review only added to it. One more excuse to visit Norway.

That book is huge where I live, it's one of the first names when classics are mentioned. But I've learned more from your review than from all the small talk I had about it in person.

Sunday, October 4th 2015 The Russian Master and Other Stories (Gooseberries, Concerning Love, Peasants, Angel), by Anton Chekhov - from page 126 to page 182 - 1h30m In total: three sessions, one book, a hundred and sixty pages, five hours and five minutes Thoughts: the rich and intellectuals give place to a more varied roster of everyday characters from other social classes. I'm pleased with the stories in this book. For a while I thought I wouldn't be able to read anything today, gladly I was wrong.

I'm back from vacations, greeted by strong winds, rain and grey skies. It just invites me to stay at home all day. These were supposedly my first elections, but I'm too cosy to make all the arrangements in order to leave the house. Besides, I'm on a read-a-thon, duty calls.

Saturday, October 3rd 2015 The Russian Master and Other Stories (The Duel), by Anton Chekhov - from page 22 to page 62 - 2h The Russian Master and Other Stories (The Duel, A Hard Case), by Anton Chekhov - from page 62 to page 125 - 1h35m In total: two sessions, one book, a hundred and three pages, three hours and thirty five minutes Thoughts: It spoilt Anna Karenina and an unknown Turgenev book, it's a good read however if it doesn't ruin any other story.

What did you think of Stoner? I once was very close to buying it, but discarded it for another.

Battlestar Galactica: Remake 2x06 - I'm enjoying the setting, but at each passing episode my idea grows that this is a standard series with a sci-fi template. I'm enjoying it, though.

Welcome to the forum, eyeseebooks.

I never rode one, seeing it is all I would perhaps do. Did you have fun in the rollercoaster?

Count me in.

Finland seems a great place to live at the moment. It's admirable, considering that it's a very young, independent country. The resources might not be so many as well, but about that I'm taking a wild guess. Remembered now of something cool. The first portuguese flag:

I don't have any specific recommendations, but perhaps short stories could be more appropriate?

My mother went to the bookshop, so I tagged along. Yukio Mishima - Spring Snow Alice Munro - Selected Stories

Battlestar Galactica: Remake 1x07 - "No more Mr. nice Gaius". Also, the pilot on the moon thing was too far-fetched Luther 1x01 - Idris Elba and Ruth Wilson were really good in the pilot. It's a rewatch, but this time I might watch the full first season.

Thanks, Janet.

Today I went to a Waterstones and bought three books. The clerk was about my age and remarked that it was some heavy reading, but instead of developing conversation I just answered "yes". Sometimes not even I can understand myself. George Eliot - Middlemarch Virginia Woolf - Mrs Dalloway Richard Yates - Revolutionary Road I'm really fond of RR's cover. I'm afraid of even touching it.

I assume the mall has plenty inside, but the idea that there's a mall so big a family can spend a weekend there sounds really american.
