50-book challenge complete! Tim - 31/12/2009 10:02:42 PM 1836 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 412 Views
I think Jerome K Jerome was brilliant, and wish there were more like him. Tim - 01/01/2010 11:21:07 AM 635 Views
That is a great dedication. *NM* Jacob - 05/01/2010 06:12:34 PM 238 Views

I should correct myself... Tim - 02/01/2010 08:49:21 PM 640 Views
I also completed the 50 Book Challenge, in a nick of time. Spriteling - 01/01/2010 11:07:42 AM 662 Views

Me too. Camilla - 01/01/2010 11:53:57 AM 745 Views
did you read "Gone-Away World" twice?? imlad - 01/01/2010 07:23:16 PM 648 Views
Yes. It is that good. Camilla - 01/01/2010 10:18:34 PM 538 Views

thats what I was doing too imlad - 02/01/2010 07:13:47 PM 698 Views
The Night Watch series just got progressively worse. I liked all of them, though. *NM* Ghavrel - 01/01/2010 10:18:15 PM 287 Views
Ha! When you first said "mastering"- rebelaessedai - 01/01/2010 11:51:16 PM 536 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 663 Views
I would never have considered case books "books" for purposes of the 50-book challenge. Tom - 02/01/2010 05:41:02 PM 727 Views
It's a textbook, not a case book. Tim - 02/01/2010 08:43:42 PM 890 Views
I think even books we called textbooks were essentially case books. Tom - 03/01/2010 05:42:45 PM 649 Views

Do you really figure... Legolas - 05/01/2010 01:57:54 AM 692 Views
I don't think it would take less time than for Portuguese or French, but... Tom - 05/01/2010 04:53:27 AM 702 Views
Right, fair enough. Legolas - 06/01/2010 05:21:09 AM 607 Views
I spent 8 months of those 2 years in Russia. Tom - 07/01/2010 06:08:14 AM 563 Views

If I could convince my wife, I would Tom - 05/01/2010 04:57:05 AM 638 Views
There's always Amharic, I suppose Larry - 05/01/2010 07:32:50 AM 765 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 572 Views
Well, at least it's not Klingon! Larry - 05/01/2010 11:30:48 PM 582 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 550 Views
You languageist! jh - 05/01/2010 03:09:59 PM 513 Views
Don't misunderestimate me or my verbology *NM* Tom - 07/01/2010 06:10:02 AM 253 Views
Oh, come on. Finnish is all kinds of awesome. Legolas - 05/01/2010 05:01:16 PM 584 Views
I know the word "omenapiraaka" means "apple pie" - I went to the Helsinki McDonald's. Tom - 07/01/2010 06:10:49 AM 610 Views
Congratulations, that is twice my total Stephen - 01/01/2010 04:18:06 PM 549 Views

I think I managed, too. However, after that, my reading just... ceased. jh - 01/01/2010 06:02:16 PM 664 Views

I failed my challenge. Rebekah - 01/01/2010 11:13:59 PM 674 Views
What did you think of Foucault's Pendulum? Camilla - 02/01/2010 08:42:02 PM 570 Views
Because I'm not American. Tim - 03/01/2010 05:50:36 AM 537 Views
Yes, but you lot have lost so much more... Larry - 03/01/2010 06:03:38 AM 574 Views
Is the subjunctive any more alive in America than in Britain? Tim - 03/01/2010 06:23:09 AM 581 Views
It is where I live Larry - 03/01/2010 07:46:15 AM 702 Views
Not in any meaningful sense. I suppose there are some irregularities which could be subjunctive... Ghavrel - 03/01/2010 09:54:46 AM 629 Views
Are you talking about African-American English? Tim - 03/01/2010 11:34:30 PM 726 Views
I think he is Larry - 03/01/2010 11:43:24 PM 671 Views
The example I used was AAVE, yes. Ghavrel - 04/01/2010 02:10:23 AM 650 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 563 Views
Not exactly Larry - 05/01/2010 04:00:04 AM 576 Views
Isn't that just a gerund? Ghavrel - 06/01/2010 08:20:00 AM 576 Views
Close, but not exactly Larry - 06/01/2010 10:17:34 AM 660 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 544 Views
I was referring to Quebecois. Legolas - 06/01/2010 05:49:43 PM 618 Views
Aaah. Camilla - 03/01/2010 09:04:45 AM 579 Views
I should have mentioned... Tim - 03/01/2010 11:39:27 PM 604 Views
Re: I should have mentioned... Camilla - 04/01/2010 08:30:50 AM 529 Views
Possibly. It'd probably be worth checking what he meant. *NM* Tim - 05/01/2010 10:59:32 AM 248 Views
Illuminatus! is so great. I finished the trilogy last year, I think. Panorphaeon - 05/01/2010 06:58:14 AM 575 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 250 Views
THE NAME OF THE ROSE is certainly a better introduction to Eco. Jacob - 05/01/2010 06:09:04 PM 557 Views
I finished as well. Craig - 08/01/2010 03:51:25 AM 661 Views
I finished with 90 books. Jessie - 09/01/2010 09:45:29 PM 650 Views
You should read Niffenegger's new book. Legolas - 10/01/2010 07:52:37 PM 539 Views
I have. Jessie - 11/01/2010 01:59:45 AM 639 Views
