a real thirst for a good story |

recap once again, i lost track of what i read when. *shrugs* i guess sometimes i just don't want to keep track of stuff. i need to try harder. i have been re-reading the following since last update: (all of these are by Terry Pratchett) *Witches Abroad *Lords & Ladies *Men at Arms *Feet of Clay *Jingo *The Fifth Elephant when you need a good laugh, you can't go wrong with pterry. 8^) and, then i started to keep track again. *Carpe Jugulum by Terry Pratchett-started 7-15-05 i put this one down in the middle to start the next one. i'll pick carpe jugulum back up in a bit. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling-started 7-16-05 (around 12:30 a.m.); finished 7-17-05 (around 2 a.m. i would've completed it earlier, but i had to work on the 16th.) Very good! there's so much packed into it. i won't spoil it, but i did laugh and, towards the end, i didn't cry but felt much shock and sadness. 8^( my friend caroline just finished it this morning and has sent me many text messages about it. 8^) i'm looking forward to the last book. Inkheart by Cornelia Funke-started 7-18-05 This one's turning out good! i can't wait to finish it. i wish i would've splurged and got the hardback. and it looks like it's a series and that's it been picked up to be made into a movie! woo hoo! hey, jo! the original is in german. you might want to pick it up before you leave germany this month. btw-i'm still skimming Creative Mythology by Joseph Campbell. |
