Although I did read the book first. Isherwood's style really managed to choke me, but also raise my spirits. Wonderful stuff.<br /><br />As for the target, I aimed for 250 last year and beat it but I didn't want to pressure myself in to only reading short books so went for 100 and have read larger books instead. Not exactly slowed me down too much though. Maybe I'll go for 150. I generally have 3 on the go at any one time for different moods.blahblahblah Tobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13370451386116555733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048087291064672035.post-64527367757656085762013-05-14T18:00:05.046+08:002013-05-14T18:00:05.046+08:00PS: How have you managed to already read 63 books ...PS: How have you managed to already read 63 books in 2013 is beyond me!

Don't know if I want to read it though.. written words to me are even sadder than moving images and I can't deal with sadness that well. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
