http://becomingwellread.blogspot.com/2011/09/and-im-still.html
From Austen to Woolf. Thursday, 29 September 2011. And I'm still . Reading Gormenghast. It's really long. It's a story about a castle and its occupants. It could be told in probably ten chapters, but Mervyn Peake likes to draw things out and tell us many details about curtains and breezes and leaves and thoughts and whispers and noses and hairstyles and dresses and stones and books and rituals and coughs and graves and ribbons and attics and walls; things like that. So that's all; for now. Subscribe to: ...

From Austen to Woolf: January 2012
http://becomingwellread.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
From Austen to Woolf. Monday, 23 January 2012. I'm being more adventurous! I have stuck to reading one book at a time. That meant that I got lots of books finished because I wanted to move on to the next one quickly. I still think this is a good way of reading, and I'm kind of still sticking to it. Which was wonderful. I have now moved on to Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time. Which is completely different, though it deals with many of the same questions. I'm also reading The Old Curiosity Shop.

From Austen to Woolf: Inkheart, by Cornelia Funke
http://becomingwellread.blogspot.com/2011/07/inkheart-by-cornelia-funke.html
From Austen to Woolf. Monday, 11 July 2011. Inkheart, by Cornelia Funke. It was good. Very good in fact. I'd heard that it was good, but it was one of those that I'm afraid I felt a little snobby about - all I knew of it was that it had been made into a film starring Brendan Fraser, and that small fact set me against it a little bit. I suppose I imagined that I might end up reading something as time-wasting as California Man. The writing in Inkheart. Has a shifting perspective too, but it's done slightly...

Whither Shall We Wander? Sunday, 25 March 2012. This is the year, oh yes. So, with one entry in this blog, we're doing well for getting outdoorsy and fit. Not.

From Austen to Woolf: August 2011
http://becomingwellread.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
From Austen to Woolf. Wednesday, 24 August 2011. I'm working my way through this little 900 page story. Well, it's not really that big of a story, because it's three books in one, and I've read a few trilogies that are longer. I thought I'd just write a little about my initial impressions of it. This was my initial impression when I opened it at the first page of the first book, Titus Groan. This is what the blurb says on the back of the copy I have:. But anyhow, I'm carrying on with the book, because I ...

Whither Shall We Wander?: April 2011
http://whithershallwewander.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Whither Shall We Wander? Monday, 18 April 2011. My heartrate is approaching its resting rate of lazy.bpm, my breathing has returned to normal; my vision is a little off, the scenery I'm trying to gaze at is still trying to snap itself into focus, and I am just trying to concentrate on keeping the remaining contents of my stomach where they should be. View of Morecambe Bay, from Hare Appletree Fell car park. I will tell you about my morning by listing it as a series of mistakes. It's not very likely.
