The Book Vipers discussion

Use this thread to tell us about the books that you are reading for the Summer Number challenge

As I have read Fahrenheit 451, which looks like it is going to win, my three for the challenge will be:
Rule 34
Around the Coast in Eighty Waves
Cleopatra's Needle: Two Wheels by the Water to Cairo

Paul wrote: "As I have read Fahrenheit 451, which looks like it is going to win, my three for the challenge will be..."

Ah, so if we've read the poll winner, we can choose another one?

Unless you want to re-read it

Paul wrote: "Unless you want to re-read it"

No, but I was afraid I might have to :)

I've also read Fahrenheit 451 very recently.
So, my list will include numbers 1 , 2 and 3 :)

Quite Ugly One Morning
Two Boys Kissing
Three Men in a Boat

I haven't read Fahrenheit 451 but have been meaning to so I'm pleased it won.

My list will be...

Fahrenheit 451
1984
In One Person - which will also be my I for the alphabet.

I'll be reading (probably...)

One for Sorrow
For Fukui's Sake: Two Years In Rural Japan
Child 44

Time crunch as the summer winds down and I get ready to go back to school, so...

For Fukui's Sake: Two Years In Rural Japan
Fahrenheit 451
How to Bake Pi: An Edible Exploration of the Mathematics of Mathematics
And adding...
Thirteen Reasons Why
Also adding...
The Fundamental Five (a book for work--forced reading but I'll count it here to make me feel better about it)

I've been meaning to read the Ray Bradbury one too, so I'll be reading:

Fahrenheit 451
One Hundred Years of Solitude
The Tenth Man

I'll need something to replace Farenheit 451 too.

Does something with "First" in the title count or is that pushing it?

It will be fine Charlotte

I have already read Fahrenheit 451 not too long ago so not going to re-read. My 3 books will be

- The Reader on the 6.27
- Six Four
- Three Plays - Absurd Person Singular, Absent Friends, Bedroom Farce

Thanks Paul!

One read. One arrived from library and one on Kindle( since 2014, embarrassed.com)
1. Chameleon 2012. A terrible book but it served a duel purpose as book club book. No one liked it. READ
2. Fahrenheit 451 - arrived from library
3. Just a little run round the world: 5 years, 3 packs of wolves and 53 pairs of shoes- Kindle.

Fahrenheit book. How did I never read this. Wonderful, if slightly scary book. Have been off internet so much since....

Done. All 3. That's 2 challenges completed this year. 3 if you count how many books I intended to read. I aimed low though so no great shakes. Must be a first for me though. Now onto reading books of the month which I have been slacking badly on.

Well done Pat.

I've decided I'm not in the mood for Child 44 at the moment, so my 3 books are now

One for Sorrow READ
For Fukui's Sake: Two years in rural Japan READ
The Woman in Cabin 10 READ

I am reading my last one at the moment Around the Coast in Eighty Waves

Finished Fahrenheit 451 the other day, that was my third. Haven't got round to thinking about a review yet.

I really enjoyed 1984.

In One Person was only OK, but did also count as I for my alphabet.

Hi all,
Just want to add in 3 books i have read in this time space.
I have to say I was dreading Slaughterhouse-Five, but it surprised me and I loved it ! A very different sort of book and parts of it made me giggle out loud, which is rare for me !
I read it on 19th Aug.
The next book The Fifties in Pictures was an interesting book. Read it on 6th Sept.
And the final book in this challenge was Fifty Fashion Looks that Changed the 1980's. Read 15th Sept. I have read the 5 books in this series and they are great.

I finished my challenge last week. Back to Bookbuster now

Well done both.

I just realised the challenge ended at the end of September and I haven't read a single one of my three yet. :o

Oh no! Would you like me to extend it?

Yes pleeeeeeeeze!

Done

Thank you Paul. Will also change my One Hundred Years of Solitude selection to Slaughterhouse Five as I've had it on my kindle for 2 years!

One Hundred Years of Solitude is just awful.

Thanks Paul you're the only person that thinks that apart from me. Excellent but so boring!

Well I'll read it sometime, I enjoyed Love in the Time of Cholera. I just want to get the Slaughterhouse Five out of the way first.

It is probably just me. I have a friend who loves it. For me, it was dull, confusing and oh so tedious. Love in the Time of Cholera sounds like a barrel of laughs too

It was Paul.

Yay, finished the challenge at the 11th hour! Ended on a high with an excellent book.
