Crome Yellow
(viewed 162 times)
Book Fifty.
My last book of 2012. It was hilarious, with some brilliant end-of-chapter punch lines, amusing descriptions and bizarre stories. It was also quite hard to read at times and had a habit of making me very sleepy...

The Time Machine
(viewed 144 times)
Book Forty Nine.
I bought this on a whim from a charity shop. It was highly enjoyable. I laughed, i was sad, i was anxious. And it's short enough to enjoy in a day, apparently.

Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters
(viewed 169 times)
Book Forty Eight.
I had no idea what this was about when i bought it, but i loved The Catcher in the Rye, so i wasn't going to turn down a J.D. Salinger for 49p. It's two stories: Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters and Seymour: an Introduction. The first, i loved. In all the ways i loved Catcher. The second... was good, and interesting in some ways, but very, as the author admits, very long winded. I would get physically tired after any more than 10 pages, and although i enjoyed it, it was a huge struggle.

Life of Pi
(viewed 465 times)
Book Forty Seven.
I started reading this years ago, but didn't get more than a quarter of the way in. Then a few weeks ago when we went to see Skyfall, the trailer for the Life of Pi film was shown. And before i see the film, i had to read the book.
I got all the way through it this time. It was okay. I laughed quite a few times, and found other parts laughably unbelievable, but come the end, and i guess that's the point...

Almost a year since we moved in, and we finally put up the blind in the

Double Whammy
(viewed 156 times)
Book Forty Six.
This one was better than Hiaasen's first book, and i enjoyed it lots more. However there were still some aspects of the book i hated and could not overlook. Namely, the 2D, stereotypical and ultimately pointless female characters. (Can Brookmyre write quicker, please? I need more awesome characters asap.)
Also, the cover quote puzzled and annoyed me throughout. "Better than literature." Erm, it is literature...?
