BOOK CHALLENGE 31/1000 (37)
Well, I'm seriously behind schedule now because I was seriously distracted by other things and other books. It's week 20 so I should have read around 40 books from the list. Never mind, I'm sure I'll catch up. The summer is coming and I am determined to get out there and tan my pasty white legs. Sunbathing and reading go hand in hand for me so roll on sunshine!
Anyway, I did manage to slip Murder at the Vicarage by Agatha Christie into my busy schedule. This was the last Christie book on the list and probably my least favourite. I am not a great fan of Miss Marple either on the page or on the screen but I could see why this one was chosen. As usual I didn't have a clue who the murderer was until it was revealed.
BOOK CHALLENGE 32/1000 (38)
Along with all the books I have uploaded onto my ebook reader, I have a little stack of books from the library. No Country for Old Men by Cormac McCarthy was at the top of the pile. The author doesn't use any speech marks in his writing which takes a little getting used to. I thought this was peculiar when reading The Road and quite wrongly assumed that it was specific to that book. This book alternates between first person and third person narration and there is a marked difference in language and style between the two. (Unlike The Time Traveller's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger which I read a few weeks back). Of the two McCarthy books on the list, I preferred this one.
