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 1978 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 473 Views
I think Jerome K Jerome was brilliant, and wish there were more like him. Tim - 01/01/2010 11:21:07 AM 783 Views
That is a great dedication. *NM* Jacob - 05/01/2010 06:12:34 PM 295 Views

I should correct myself... Tim - 02/01/2010 08:49:21 PM 766 Views
I also completed the 50 Book Challenge, in a nick of time. Spriteling - 01/01/2010 11:07:42 AM 792 Views
another nice list imlad - 01/01/2010 07:19:46 PM 762 Views
Me too. Camilla - 01/01/2010 11:53:57 AM 873 Views
did you read "Gone-Away World" twice?? imlad - 01/01/2010 07:23:16 PM 769 Views
Yes. It is that good. Camilla - 01/01/2010 10:18:34 PM 668 Views

Three. If they were originally published separately, the fact that someone collected them into... Tim - 01/01/2010 11:55:22 PM 829 Views
thats what I was doing too imlad - 02/01/2010 07:13:47 PM 814 Views
The Night Watch series just got progressively worse. I liked all of them, though. *NM* Ghavrel - 01/01/2010 10:18:15 PM 340 Views
Ha! When you first said "mastering"- rebelaessedai - 01/01/2010 11:51:16 PM 659 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 803 Views
I would never have considered case books "books" for purposes of the 50-book challenge. Tom - 02/01/2010 05:41:02 PM 859 Views
It's a textbook, not a case book. Tim - 02/01/2010 08:43:42 PM 1001 Views
I think even books we called textbooks were essentially case books. Tom - 03/01/2010 05:42:45 PM 778 Views

We both speak Spanish already. Tom - 04/01/2010 02:00:06 PM 712 Views
Do you really figure... Legolas - 05/01/2010 01:57:54 AM 807 Views
I don't think it would take less time than for Portuguese or French, but... Tom - 05/01/2010 04:53:27 AM 825 Views
Right, fair enough. Legolas - 06/01/2010 05:21:09 AM 728 Views
I spent 8 months of those 2 years in Russia. Tom - 07/01/2010 06:08:14 AM 690 Views
I think you should teach her Koine before French Larry - 05/01/2010 04:01:44 AM 712 Views
If I could convince my wife, I would Tom - 05/01/2010 04:57:05 AM 758 Views
There's always Amharic, I suppose Larry - 05/01/2010 07:32:50 AM 896 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 710 Views
Well, at least it's not Klingon! Larry - 05/01/2010 11:30:48 PM 714 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 681 Views
You languageist! jh - 05/01/2010 03:09:59 PM 642 Views
Don't misunderestimate me or my verbology *NM* Tom - 07/01/2010 06:10:02 AM 310 Views
Oh, come on. Finnish is all kinds of awesome. Legolas - 05/01/2010 05:01:16 PM 720 Views
I know the word "omenapiraaka" means "apple pie" - I went to the Helsinki McDonald's. Tom - 07/01/2010 06:10:49 AM 736 Views
Congratulations, that is twice my total Stephen - 01/01/2010 04:18:06 PM 663 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 903 Views
I think I managed, too. However, after that, my reading just... ceased. jh - 01/01/2010 06:02:16 PM 788 Views
There's a lot of those I have not heard of. rebelaessedai - 01/01/2010 11:57:04 PM 804 Views

I failed my challenge. Rebekah - 01/01/2010 11:13:59 PM 789 Views
What did you think of Foucault's Pendulum? Camilla - 02/01/2010 08:42:02 PM 712 Views
Because I'm not American. Tim - 03/01/2010 05:50:36 AM 661 Views
Yes, but you lot have lost so much more... Larry - 03/01/2010 06:03:38 AM 680 Views
Is the subjunctive any more alive in America than in Britain? Tim - 03/01/2010 06:23:09 AM 709 Views
It is where I live Larry - 03/01/2010 07:46:15 AM 834 Views
Not in any meaningful sense. I suppose there are some irregularities which could be subjunctive... Ghavrel - 03/01/2010 09:54:46 AM 747 Views
Are you talking about African-American English? Tim - 03/01/2010 11:34:30 PM 859 Views
I think he is Larry - 03/01/2010 11:43:24 PM 803 Views
The example I used was AAVE, yes. Ghavrel - 04/01/2010 02:10:23 AM 771 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 688 Views
Not exactly Larry - 05/01/2010 04:00:04 AM 700 Views
Isn't that just a gerund? Ghavrel - 06/01/2010 08:20:00 AM 698 Views
Close, but not exactly Larry - 06/01/2010 10:17:34 AM 791 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 670 Views
I was referring to Quebecois. Legolas - 06/01/2010 05:49:43 PM 753 Views
Aaah. Camilla - 03/01/2010 09:04:45 AM 724 Views
I should have mentioned... Tim - 03/01/2010 11:39:27 PM 740 Views
Re: I should have mentioned... Camilla - 04/01/2010 08:30:50 AM 658 Views
Possibly. It'd probably be worth checking what he meant. *NM* Tim - 05/01/2010 10:59:32 AM 298 Views
Illuminatus! is so great. I finished the trilogy last year, I think. Panorphaeon - 05/01/2010 06:58:14 AM 704 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 309 Views
THE NAME OF THE ROSE is certainly a better introduction to Eco. Jacob - 05/01/2010 06:09:04 PM 683 Views
I finished as well. Craig - 08/01/2010 03:51:25 AM 809 Views
I finished with 90 books. Jessie - 09/01/2010 09:45:29 PM 778 Views
You should read Niffenegger's new book. Legolas - 10/01/2010 07:52:37 PM 666 Views
I have. Jessie - 11/01/2010 01:59:45 AM 775 Views
