Had some wins the last few days... 46 books for $54 from the local book fair, 3 happy children and one rather happy mummy.  Including, but not limited to those listed. Even found a copy of The Hobbit in far better condition than my own copy for 50c!

 

After spending many hours following trying to make room in my various bookshelves, I promised myself I wouldn't buy any more books until I'd read everything I already have...  

 

Then found a couple more Pratchett's and The Night Circus today at our newly opened local book shop at $6.  Couldn't even last 3 days without buying more books.  At least it's a healthier addiction than most.

 

And for real this time (I hope) no more books until I've read everything in my book case...

On books and movies

Last night my boys were watching Jurassic Park on TV, and it dawned on me that I had never read Michael Crichton's book.  I saw the movie when it came out, and I enjoyed that very much.  Perusing my bookshelves, too my surprise, I found that I actually owned a copy of the book, which I probably picked up at some used book sale or other.  I now think this will be my first reading project of 2014.

Day 21 - The first novel you remember reading

 

When I hear “novel”, I automatically think of when I started reading adult fiction when I was thirteen. Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton was a gateway into that world. For my birthday that year, I watched the movie. Having never seen anything like it, I was of course stunned and amazed and in love with the whole thing. Then I found out it was originally a book.

 

Now it was originally a book way above my reading level at the time, but I was so into the story that I persevered until I finished it. This was a huge victory for me, reading a grown-up book full of hard science fiction. It made me want to tackle more, and I haven’t looked back since.
