Don't be put off by the vague religious nod in the title and give it a go. I may even blog on it - although it's very sunny outside..Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10869507549443474002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725445476483285712.post-20060267828609985112009-04-25T19:42:00.000+02:002009-04-25T19:42:00.000+02:00The Fountainhead?

I'm also getting the newspaper now in the hopes of being able to actually get interested in current events.<br />I'll be out of town this weekend, though, so I probably won't be able to keep up with the reading at all. <br />C'est la vie.Nickyhttp://www.neolibrarium.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725445476483285712.post-76967695364367190032009-04-23T22:38:00.000+02:002009-04-23T22:38:00.000+02:00Historical Fiction is pretty much my favourite lit...Historical Fiction is pretty much my favourite literary category! Must have something do with my love of novels and my wanting to study history when I was in high-school (chose biology instead).<br /><br />Ben Button is just a short story so it will be a quick read, I'll write up about it in my monthly "reading" post.CrazyCrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512240982215608638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725445476483285712.post-43355424114244668872009-04-23T22:19:00.000+02:002009-04-23T22:19:00.000+02:00That's really interesting that they both died on t...That's really interesting that they both died on the same date. <br /><br />I am reading the ones on my side bar, and itching to find a good novel - I like historical fiction. But I really need to finish a few first. Let me know about Benjamin Button, that could go on my list.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13178290697351352495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725445476483285712.post-38436467352802208012009-04-23T14:07:00.000+02:002009-04-23T14:07:00.000+02:00Ok, so I'll start!

Or at least I've been going around with the book in my bag for a week or so now, every day meaning to start it, but not quite managing to do so!<br /><br />But in honour of the date, I will definitely start today! :o)<br /><br />And then I'll have to get back to reading scientific articles which are a lot less fun... :sCrazyCrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512240982215608638noreply@blogger.com
