I'm watching it and loving it! I don't really understand a lot of people's criticisms.
I think it's simply wonderful. 
-
I'm watching Freaks and Geeks. Such a great show! Kylie, 'Logan' was in the show, too
He played a minor character in one episode: he was a guy from a rivaling high school and he and his crew through sodas at the McKinley freaks No way!
He must have been quite young? -
Favourite book cover?
<snip>
Book that most disappointed you?
Lady Chatterley's Lover by D H Lawrence. I would have undoubtedly have given up on this if it wasn't and English Counties Challenge book.
Ooh, those covers are lovely indeed!
And I absolutely agree about Lady Chatterley's Lover. Argh!
I started doing this on my Christmas holiday but then I accidentally clicked the wrong icon and all vanished
I had a similar problem! So frustrating!
Favourite read? - Without a doubt, This Is Life by Dan Rhodes!
I'll have to try and read this book this year. Your comments about it last year got me interested!
Favourite book cover? - Be Frank with Me by Julia Claiborne Johnson
It's your favourite because it has part of your name on the cover, right?
Book that most disappointed you? <snip> Bridget Jones's Baby because I've loved the first three novels and this one was just such a disappointment. The movie was better!
Aw no, that's a shame!
Favourite children's book? - The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster
Favourite classic? - I didn't read any, unless The Phantom Tollbooth counts.
Favourite illustrated book? - The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster
Squeeee! The Phantom Tollbooth made your list three times!! (And I don't care if it was the only contender in each category...you still chose it!)
This is made easier by my lack of titles to choose from this year
It really does make it easier, doesn't it?! -
6. Most disappointed
Lord Of The Flies by William Golding
Totally agree!Favourite biography? The Marx Brothers by Kyle Crichton
Ooh! I'll have to go and see if you wrote a review for this. I love the Marx Brothers!
Most read author? Ransom Riggs and Peter Swanson (three books each). Should also be three for Dickens by the end of 2016.
Book that most disappointed you? The Trial by Franz Kafka. Awfully dull.
Three by Dickens?! Very impressive!
Aw, shame about The Trial. I thought it was rather clever, and I loved the ending, although I can totally understand the 'dull' comment. I've been wanting to re-read it because I don't think I read a very good translation.
Favourite read? The Second Sex
I bought this fairly recently, but I'm a bit intimidated by it. Is it fairly easy to get through?
7) Funniest book:
Undermajordomo Minor by Patrick deWitt
Interesting! I've been looking forward to reading this. Is it better than The Sisters Brothers, do you think? (I assume you've read that...)
-
Great stats, Janet!
You've read an impressive number of classics recently. I need to take a leaf out of your book!
-
I read her book last year and found it quite helpful. Like others, I skipped over some of the stranger things (and anything where she dared to suggest getting rid of books!)
I must admit that I haven't followed her method precisely (yet!) As I recall, she advocates doing one room at a time rather than a bit here and there, and I haven't been able to do that yet. But I managed to go through all of my clothes and get rid of a lot of stuff, and I've studied folding my underwear nicely.
I've also been scanning loads and loads and loads of paperwork onto my computer and throwing out the originals. It's so satisfying getting rid of all that paper!I'm thinking of moving house this year, so if that eventuates, I'll be doing a much bigger overhaul before I move.
-
I have read Strangers on a Train, The Talented Mr Ripley and Ripley Undergound (the first Ripley sequel).
Coincidentally, I've read the exact same three books.
I plan to read another one this year (although I haven't chosen which one yet).I think Highsmith is brilliant.
I have some trouble engaging with her characters—the conversations often seem rather unreal (as in, you wouldn't hear people speaking like that in real life)—but I find that I'm easily able to overcome this and engage with the overall story. -
I loved this book too! Do you think the illustrated version would be worth investing in, BB?
-
OK, I wrote up my answer not long after I started the thread, but my computer crashed and I lost most of my response (luckily I had copied some of it into another document beforehand). I just couldn't be bothered redoing it all until now!
Favourite read?I only had two 10/10 reads for the year, and they were Alexandre Dumas' The Story of a Nutcracker and Erik Larson's Dead Wake, a non-fiction book about the sinking of the Lusitania. Larson is an amazing researcher and writer. In fact, I've been in such a reading slump lately that I picked up another of Larson's books to see if it would help, and it has! I would never usually seek out a non-fiction book to help with my missing mojo, but Larson is just that talented!Runners up: Matt Haig's A Boy Called Christmas, Jon Ronson's So You've Been Publicly Shamed, David Mitchell's Slade House, Sarah Murgatroyd's The Dig Tree, Patricia Highsmith's Strangers on a Train, John Hersey's Hiroshima, Emily St John Mandel's Station Eleven, PG Wodehouse's Jeeves in the Offing and Bill Bryson's The Road to Little Dribbling.Favourite author?Agatha Christie and PG Wodehouse are perennial favourites.Most read author?I read the first four books in Morris Gleitzman's Once series. I also read three books by PG Wodehouse.Favourite book cover?
Book you abandoned (if there was more than one, the one you read least of)?I've started but not finished many books this year, but it's mostly been my lack of mojo rather than any fault of the books. The only one that I wasn't enjoying that much was Boris Akunin's The Turkish Gambit, but I still plan to finish it one day.Book that most disappointed you?Boris Akunin's The Turkish Gambit. From what I've read so far, it's very different from the first book in the series. It's much more political and I'm having a hard time following it. Hopefully it will pick up eventually.Funniest book?All three books I read by PG Wodehouse: Jeeves in the Offing, Meet Mr Mulliner (which turned out to be a reread) and Mr Mulliner Speaking. Bill Bryson's The Road to Little Dribbling and Al Franken's Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them were also brilliant.Favourite literary character?Alan Bradley's Flavia de Luce in 'A Red Herring Without Mustard'—she's so wonderfully precocious! Also, Jeeves and Wooster in PG Wodehouse's 'Jeeves in the Offing'—a wonderful double act.Favourite children's book?Matt Haig's A Boy Called Christmas and Alexandre Dumas' The Story of a Nutcracker.Favourite classic?Alexandre Dumas' The Story of a Nutcracker.Favourite non-fiction book?Erik Larson's Dead Wake. I actually had a brilliant year for non-fiction reading. Sarah Murgatroyd's The Dig Tree, about a famous exploring tragedy in modern (European) Australian history, was excellent. Other runners up were Jon Ronson's So You've Been Publicly Shamed, John Hersey's Hiroshima and Bill Bryson's The Road to Little Dribbling.Favourite biography?An autobiography by John Elder Robison called Look Me in the Eye. Woof.Favourite collection of short stories?I suppose the Mr Mulliner stories by PG Wodehouse would count here. They're all brilliant!Favourite poetry collection?No poetry.Favourite illustrated book?The Walking Dead Compendium #1 and Joanna Eliot's Infographic Guide to Literature (I love infographics).Favourite publisher?As always, I'm a huge fan of Penguin and Vintage. I love that they pay special attention to the classics and are continually re-releasing them in drool-worthy new editions with beautiful covers.Favourite audiobook?No audiobooks.Favourite re-read?This might sound like a strange one. Many years ago I went through a period where I was interested in reading Beatles fan fiction. Among all of the stories out there, there was one epic story (truly the length of a long book) that I read several times during that period. It was called Into My Life by Diane Huberty. I've always held onto the ebook file (it's freely available online) and I decided to re-read it in 2016. It was just as wonderful as I remembered, and I was surprised how much detail I could remember all these years later. -
Here's The Guardian's lists of fiction and non-fiction releases for 2017.
-
This is a very inspiring thread!
I first heard about bullet journals a few months ago...I can't remember how now (brown cow
)...and I spent ages looking at Instagram pics. I thought about starting one, but I would stress too much about it looking good. I'm hyper-critical of my own writing and (lack of) creative ability. This thread is getting me excited though.Kell and Brian, your BuJos are fabulous!
Ooh, I love your pretty new journal, Frankie! You should totally put that inspirational quote somewhere you can see it every day.
I can't wait to hear about your journalling adventures. ETA: Oh, and I love washi tape too. It's so cute! I have to restrain myself from buying it whenever I see some.
-
Happy reading in 2017, Gaia! Like Frankie, I noticed that your thread was simpler this year. Mine has become simpler over the years too.
For the read-a-thon, if you still want to participate you could perhaps change your focus from reading as many books as you can to just focusing on one or two longer books that also don't require as much processing? -
I've been slowly getting through Mark Twain's Notebooks, which are quite interesting, and Broadmoor Revealed by Mark Stevens, which is great. I also started reading Round the Christmas Fire late last year, and even though the season is now over, I plan to keep reading it. I'm only up to the second story so far...at this rate I'll be finished by Christmas this year!
-
Huzzah! I'm done! My lists got quite out-of-date during 2016, so I had to spend ages fixing them. New Year's resolution: keep up-to-date with lists so I don't have all this bother this time next year!
I know I say this every year, but in 2017 I simply must spend more time reading and less time watching TV!
Happy reading in 2017 everyone!
