A freindly compatition amoung famly membrs to imprve hourselfs in both reeding and riting.

Create a list of books/novels that you read between the dates of 01/01/2010 and 12/31/2010. Books can be of any length or genre, but must be considered novel length by word count standards (40,000 or more).

If an E-Book, it must be 40,000 words or more.

When entering your listings if you choose to include writings of less than 40k words then please create a second list. An example would be:

Books
Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World by Patrick O'Brian
Going Rogue by Sarah Palin
Moby Dick by Herman Melville

Other Writings
Gift of the Magi by O'Henry
Ode on a Grecian Urn by John Keats

Please keep track of all readings. If you are so inspired feel free to post some writings that you may create during this time, though that really should be for another group if enough interest is shown.

Remember this is a friendly competition so trash talk is allowed, but please be tactful.

Marcus Antonius:
And Caesar's spirit, raging for revenge,
With Ate by his side come hot from hell,
Shall in these confines with a monarch's voice
Cry "Havoc!" and let slip the dogs of war,
That this foul deed shall smell above the earth
With carrion men, groaning for burial.

Julius Caesar Act 3, scene 1, 270–275

Have fun, and happy reading.

I recently read a booklet, "Separation of Church & State - WHAT THE FOUNDERS MEANT by David Barton. Only 20 pages so it does not qualify as a "book" but was well worth the read.

I am currently reading "The Fathers of the Constitution, A Chronicle of the Establishment of the Union". This book is available, free, here at Limrock

Wild Animals I have Known by Ernest Thompson Seton

I read the stories of Ernest Thompson Seton when I was a kid.

LOBO. The King of Currumpaw

CUBRUMPAW is a vast cattle range in northern New Mexico. It is a land of rich pastures and teeming flocks and herds, a land of rolling mesas and precious running waters that at length unite in the Currumpaw River, from which the whole region is named. And the king whose despotic power was felt over its entire extent was an old gray wolf.

I finished The Wednesday Letters

How would you feel about your children or those that you leave behind reading your most private thoughts? Can our lives stand up to that kind of scrutiny? I guess it all boils down to what kind of legacy do you want to leave your children? This was a wonderful book with a message.

It was a book about enduring love, loss, discovery and forgiveness.

In life we don't always make the right choices so we need to learn to forgive (ourselves and others) so that we can go on loving.

Also Reading

I am also reading:

Great Americans of History -  THOMAS JEFFERSON

It is available free here on Limrock.org. I like reading on the computer because I can increase the font so I don't need my glasses. :)

What I'm currently reading

The Internet went out the other evening so I thought it would be a good time to start a book. Who knows if I'll get around to finishing it. It's Lewis Grizzard's "When My Love Returns From the Ladies Room, Will I Be Too Old To Care". He seems to be mostly making fun of women in it. Why I have this book I don't know. I PROMISE.

Here's some excerpt's so far:

I got a new book.........

The Wednesday Letters by Jason F Wright and I can't wait to start it. As I was looking at the front and back flap I got an unexpected surprise. On the back cover there is a little envelope with a letter inside. I'm gonna have a hard time waiting until the end to read that letter. I felt my heart race just a little..... :)

Current Book

Currently I am reading

MASTER AND COMMANDER - THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD

by Patrick O'Brian. I'm about half done with it. It is a difficult book to get into at first. But since this competition has started maybe I'll get through. It was made into a movie in 2003 starring Russell Crowe. I bought the DVD and am planning to watch it soon.

Currently Reading.........

The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane by Katherine Howe. It is an interesting book that jumps between 1991 and 1660's when a Harvard Grad student is pushed by her proffessor to locate The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane that is either a book of Alchemy (medicine) or a book of spells that could have been connected to the Salem Witch Trials.
