I found a little time to slip a few books in this week. The Sign of Four by Arthur Conan Doyle is nice and short and was cleared easily in a couple of lunch breaks. It's a typical Holmes story so you either love them or loathe them. I picked this one up because I have just recently watched the tv adaptation Sherlock which I loved and raved about to all that would listen.
BOOK CHALLENGE 40/1000 (48)
I have no method to the order I am reading these books in. I switch between genres and authors choosing whichever book lands in my path first. Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials became my next target. Once again, the book list cheats a little because this is actually a trilogy (Northern Lights, The Subtle Knife and The Amber Spyglass) but it only counts as one! I bought these books years ago after hearing them mentioned on some tv show. At the time I was reading a lot of Dave Duncan (my favourite author) and, being fantasy novels, I was interested in reading them. They have become one of my favourite series and are the only fantasy novels I have ever convinced Clint to read. My copies are getting a little tatty, I might have to invest in a nice new set!
Well that's 40 down, 960 to go! If you've only just joined me in Blogdom, I made myself a challenge at the beginning of the year to read all 1000 books on the 2009 Daily Mail 1000 Novels You Must Read list. It's going to take me a while so bear with me!
