Well, I've reached the peak of my embarassment, and have finally finished with
The Mysterious Island ! Don't get me wrong, it was a very very good book. It just took me forever to finish it because I've been so busy for the last few months (and the months to follow, methinks <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> ).
Here's the facts:
- I started reading it December 14th, 2005
- I finished it March 16th, 2006
- Thats 93 days (if I counted correctly)
- I only read 35 of those days
- I read at a rate of approximately 17.97 pages-a-day
- Thats slow! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/suspicion.gif" alt="" />
I feel comfortable reading 30-80 pages per day (all depending on my reading time).
Well, The Mysterious Island was an amazing book. Very nice. I loved it, and it was worth each damn day it took me.
I hope to read more of Jules Vern in the future, but I've got over 30 other books on my 'to-read' list.
Right now I'm starting
From the Corner of his Eye by Dean Kootz. Another great author, I have read a few of his books and I really like his style. So far, this one is great too and I can't wait to really dig into it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
Heh, thats me rambling on about my reading life again. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
Killerzzz
P.S.: Oooo! And to correct myself: I said ealier on that H.G. Wells wrote at the beginning of the 1800s, but he really wrote at the very beginning of the
1900s . My mistake. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />
