Good job, Tim! rebelaessedai Send a noteboard - 01/01/2010 01:09:20 AM
You really like Iain Banks, don't you? :P
Looks like you've read some good stuff this year. How is that Harkaway fellow that Camilla goes on about anyway? Do you think I'd like him?
If you're interested, my reads of this year and last year are in my profile. :)

50-book challenge complete! Tim - 31/12/2009 10:02:42 PM 2102 Views
What did you think of Three Men on a Boat? One of the more underrated comedies out there, IMO. *NM* RandAllThor - 01/01/2010 12:02:36 AM 535 Views
I think Jerome K Jerome was brilliant, and wish there were more like him. Tim - 01/01/2010 11:21:07 AM 920 Views
That is a great dedication. *NM* Jacob - 05/01/2010 06:12:34 PM 348 Views

I should correct myself... Tim - 02/01/2010 08:49:21 PM 880 Views
I also completed the 50 Book Challenge, in a nick of time. Spriteling - 01/01/2010 11:07:42 AM 917 Views
another nice list imlad - 01/01/2010 07:19:46 PM 876 Views
Me too. Camilla - 01/01/2010 11:53:57 AM 1000 Views
did you read "Gone-Away World" twice?? imlad - 01/01/2010 07:23:16 PM 892 Views
Yes. It is that good. Camilla - 01/01/2010 10:18:34 PM 775 Views

Three. If they were originally published separately, the fact that someone collected them into... Tim - 01/01/2010 11:55:22 PM 943 Views
thats what I was doing too imlad - 02/01/2010 07:13:47 PM 933 Views
The Night Watch series just got progressively worse. I liked all of them, though. *NM* Ghavrel - 01/01/2010 10:18:15 PM 400 Views
Ha! When you first said "mastering"- rebelaessedai - 01/01/2010 11:51:16 PM 766 Views
Of course. It's the 50-book challenge, not the 50-SciFi-or-Fantasy-book challenge. Tim - 02/01/2010 12:14:59 AM 924 Views
I would never have considered case books "books" for purposes of the 50-book challenge. Tom - 02/01/2010 05:41:02 PM 973 Views
It's a textbook, not a case book. Tim - 02/01/2010 08:43:42 PM 1109 Views
I think even books we called textbooks were essentially case books. Tom - 03/01/2010 05:42:45 PM 892 Views

We both speak Spanish already. Tom - 04/01/2010 02:00:06 PM 818 Views
Do you really figure... Legolas - 05/01/2010 01:57:54 AM 922 Views
I don't think it would take less time than for Portuguese or French, but... Tom - 05/01/2010 04:53:27 AM 938 Views
Right, fair enough. Legolas - 06/01/2010 05:21:09 AM 844 Views
I spent 8 months of those 2 years in Russia. Tom - 07/01/2010 06:08:14 AM 811 Views
I think you should teach her Koine before French Larry - 05/01/2010 04:01:44 AM 830 Views
If I could convince my wife, I would Tom - 05/01/2010 04:57:05 AM 880 Views
There's always Amharic, I suppose Larry - 05/01/2010 07:32:50 AM 1004 Views
For some reason I always want to read that word as though it were in Gaelic Tom - 05/01/2010 01:49:44 PM 833 Views
Well, at least it's not Klingon! Larry - 05/01/2010 11:30:48 PM 828 Views
I have a cursory knowledge of Old Persian and a smattering of Gatha Avestan...why do you ask? Tom - 07/01/2010 06:09:20 AM 798 Views
You languageist! jh - 05/01/2010 03:09:59 PM 761 Views
Don't misunderestimate me or my verbology *NM* Tom - 07/01/2010 06:10:02 AM 363 Views
Oh, come on. Finnish is all kinds of awesome. Legolas - 05/01/2010 05:01:16 PM 824 Views
I know the word "omenapiraaka" means "apple pie" - I went to the Helsinki McDonald's. Tom - 07/01/2010 06:10:49 AM 855 Views
Congratulations, that is twice my total Stephen - 01/01/2010 04:18:06 PM 767 Views
Since 50 and a half seems to be quite a popular number this year, here are mine. wahooka - 01/01/2010 04:38:09 PM 1023 Views
I think I managed, too. However, after that, my reading just... ceased. jh - 01/01/2010 06:02:16 PM 896 Views
There's a lot of those I have not heard of. rebelaessedai - 01/01/2010 11:57:04 PM 917 Views
Oh. jh - 02/01/2010 11:19:25 AM 913 Views

I failed my challenge. Rebekah - 01/01/2010 11:13:59 PM 903 Views
What did you think of Foucault's Pendulum? Camilla - 02/01/2010 08:42:02 PM 826 Views
Because I'm not American. Tim - 03/01/2010 05:50:36 AM 768 Views
Yes, but you lot have lost so much more... Larry - 03/01/2010 06:03:38 AM 783 Views
Is the subjunctive any more alive in America than in Britain? Tim - 03/01/2010 06:23:09 AM 826 Views
It is where I live Larry - 03/01/2010 07:46:15 AM 945 Views
Not in any meaningful sense. I suppose there are some irregularities which could be subjunctive... Ghavrel - 03/01/2010 09:54:46 AM 863 Views
Are you talking about African-American English? Tim - 03/01/2010 11:34:30 PM 974 Views
I think he is Larry - 03/01/2010 11:43:24 PM 919 Views
The example I used was AAVE, yes. Ghavrel - 04/01/2010 02:10:23 AM 877 Views
Would y'all ( ) say it's the same situation as with French (and I think Spanish)? Legolas - 05/01/2010 02:05:59 AM 794 Views
Not exactly Larry - 05/01/2010 04:00:04 AM 818 Views
Isn't that just a gerund? Ghavrel - 06/01/2010 08:20:00 AM 825 Views
Close, but not exactly Larry - 06/01/2010 10:17:34 AM 914 Views
All I know about French is what's in Louisiana, and it's just completely incomprehensible. Ghavrel - 06/01/2010 08:20:53 AM 786 Views
I was referring to Quebecois. Legolas - 06/01/2010 05:49:43 PM 872 Views
Aaah. Camilla - 03/01/2010 09:04:45 AM 837 Views
I should have mentioned... Tim - 03/01/2010 11:39:27 PM 859 Views
Re: I should have mentioned... Camilla - 04/01/2010 08:30:50 AM 778 Views
Possibly. It'd probably be worth checking what he meant. *NM* Tim - 05/01/2010 10:59:32 AM 355 Views
Illuminatus! is so great. I finished the trilogy last year, I think. Panorphaeon - 05/01/2010 06:58:14 AM 814 Views
If this will be your first Eco, I definitely recommend The Name of the Rose rather than FP. *NM* Tim - 05/01/2010 11:13:07 AM 362 Views
THE NAME OF THE ROSE is certainly a better introduction to Eco. Jacob - 05/01/2010 06:09:04 PM 791 Views
I finished as well. Craig - 08/01/2010 03:51:25 AM 944 Views
I finished with 90 books. Jessie - 09/01/2010 09:45:29 PM 888 Views
You should read Niffenegger's new book. Legolas - 10/01/2010 07:52:37 PM 795 Views
I have. Jessie - 11/01/2010 01:59:45 AM 888 Views
