SA Book & Challenge Lovers discussion

The word is BOKS or BRAAI (your choice). Lets get started!

You use the first letter of a book you have read in August (A, an, the.. you can leave out). Or you can use the first letter of the Authors name or Surname.

Good luck everyone!

This one sounds hard. Let's see if I can do it!

B - Blindness(I'll probably finish this today, but it still counts!)

I also go according to the day I finish. How have you found Blindness Katherine?

I'm quite enjoying it - the exploration of morality and how society falls apart and so on is very interesting. I think it could just as easily have been called "Kindness". But it's definitely not for the weak of stomach.

I enjoyed it too. Saramago also has a very calm writing style (perhaps because he uses almost no punctuation, just commas and fullstops if I remember correctly), even though he writes about some horrific things.

Yeah. The lack of punctuation and same-line dialogue confused me at first, and I thought it was just a mangled ebook version or something until I read some reviews on here and saw that that was how it was supposed to be. But yes, it's slow, and calm, and methodical, and hypnotic, and at the same time *what* he's saying is so incredibly powerful, moving and disturbing.

B - The Book of Lost Things -John Connolly
R - Red Seas under Red Skies - Scott Lynch
A - Elidor - Alan Garner
A - The Kitchen God's Wife - Amy Tan

yeah we'll see how this goes. :D

K - Full Dark, No Stars - Stephen King

Will this surname count as an "O"?
Jussi Adler-Olsen

Finished this at the last hour (read the end of Interview with a Vampire between 11 and 12pm last night), but I finished nevertheless :)
