'course you're the only one who can decide whether they're an author whose works you want to give another chance.<br /><br />Sometimes an author is just popular because they got published at exactly the right moment and marketed in exactly the rightvway, even through they're not good authors at all. (Sad, but true.)<br /><br />It does sound like you're doing great on your 100+ challenge, though! And that you've had a good reading month on the whole.<br /><br />And your comment on <i>War and Peace</i> is heartening. I don't know what I did with copy. No, rephrase. I know what I did with it. I just don't know where I put it. Unless I do and am just disbelieving it. Erm, anyway. It's somewhere on my TBR pile, looking gigantic and daunting. It's good to know you enjoyed it so much when you weren't expecting to.Shanrahttp://libritouches.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7701102306051247517.post-73494569983074516442009-06-30T15:15:52.178-07:002009-06-30T15:15:52.178-07:00First -- wow!!!

It's just lovely! The other I'd recommend is The Book Thief, but you already read it. For those who haven't, it's a must read.lotusgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06663641163048764869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7701102306051247517.post-62155933566271134932009-06-29T20:56:26.343-07:002009-06-29T20:56:26.343-07:00I enjoyed reading A World I never Nade!
