KEV67 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 I like it when Goodreads sends me a collage of all the books I read in the year. I read 35, although I am hopeful of completing two more by the end of the year. The best book cover was on The Shadow Line by Joseph Conrad. The only book I gave 5 stars to was Die Trying by Lee Child. Of the others, few made a deep impression. Proof by Dick Francis was an exception. I was overall disappointed by the big literary classics: War and Peace, The Red and the Black, several others. OTOH, I have read some interesting books and some page-turners.

lunababymoonchild Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Tough question. I just don't have the heart to continue, let alone finish, a book I'm not enjoying so picking a favourite is always pretty much impossible but I have to say that my proudest moment as a reader was finishing Friedrich Nietzsche's Philosophy in the Tragic Age of the Greeks. Not only that but I nearly understood much of it. My ambition is to read more and understand what he's on about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KEV67 Posted December 18, 2021 Author Share Posted December 18, 2021 Friedrich Nietzsche: I have not read anything by him. He seems a five star weirdo but very clever. I did enjoy a YouTube video of Bertrand Russell discussing him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
