I did the challenge. ranagrande Send a noteboard - 16/10/2011 02:06:37 PM
And have you chosen a book for this month's challenge? Have you seen the film of the book yet?

I read It's Superman! by Tom De Haven. It sucked. A lot. If I wasn't a bit OCD about finishing books that I start reading, I would have stopped this one after the first few chapters. It's written in the present tense, which I strongly dislike. The characters were all annoying. The only even remotely likable one was Lex Luthor, which surely isn't how that's supposed to be. I would highly recommend this book to everyone... as something to avoid.

Then I watched Superman: The Movie, which I had somehow never seen before. It was pretty good, infinitely better than that book.

That's a bit how I'm feeling these days. I read, but I don't remember anything. *NM* Rebekah - 10/10/2011 06:37:15 PM 347 Views
The final book is among the better ones, albeit completely unrelated to the rest of the series. *NM* Legolas - 10/10/2011 10:42:39 PM 349 Views
Either way, they're mercifully short works, compared to Der Zauberberg and Anna Karenina. Tom - 11/10/2011 01:07:59 AM 780 Views
It is perhaps the worst pile of shit I have read in a long time. Tom - 19/10/2011 03:04:12 AM 710 Views
Oh. I guess there's no accounting for tastes. Legolas - 19/10/2011 08:08:50 PM 767 Views
SMOOTH READ? That book is the definition of a choppy, disjointed piece of shit. Tom - 19/10/2011 08:30:22 PM 792 Views
