List Revision
So now that I've been book shopping, another update on how the ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
50bookchallenge is going.
Read:
Devices and Desires
Holistic Herbal: A Safe and Practical Guide to Making and Using Herbal Remedies
Cunninghams's Encyclopaedia of Magical Herbs
House of Leaves
The Bloody Chamber
Tipping the Velvet
Furnace
Neutron Star
Neuromancer
Memoirs of a Geisha
Total: 10
Currently Reading:
Dune
The Bhagavad Gita
Beowulf
The Bible
Next Up:
Lolita
The Secret History
I realise looking back that Neuromancer was not on my original list, though it was a![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dodgyhoodoo suggestion when I did the original list. I'm thinking that, in light of this kind of thing, my list needs to change a little. I'm not going to leave out any books that I read this year that weren't rereads, sourcebooks or manga / graphic novel stuff. So the list has expanded just a tad. Let's see how long it takes me to get to 50 on that basis. Doesn't mean I'm not going to read every single book that was on the original list of 50; I'm just going to be more thorough in my count. Anyway, Dune isn't so bad, as these things go. I mean, yes, it's throwing a lot of world at you in one big chunk without explaining a great deal, but these things happen. I'll keep hacking away at it and see how things develop.
I am not a very happy or well Thess at all. I hope I manage dinner okay. Lunch seems to have made me extremely nauseous.
