Damn the man! Save the empire!
April 4, 2009
The 100 book challenge has commenced with Moby Dick, which in hindsight was not the smartest of moves. (Initially I was going to read the list in order, but that would make the next book The Iliyad, and I don’t think I will be in any state to read that any time soon).
Am enjoying Moby Dick so far, it’s incredibly dense but the characters are fantastic. Fairly sure I will be braindead by the end though.
Today is cleaning house and listening to the footy on the radio. If I hear one more snide comment about Richmond playing Geelong I will throw something through the window. I firmly believe that if we lose by less than 100 points they should play our theme song anyway. Sigh. One day, Richmond will not make me want to tear my hair out.
good for you!! i haven’t gotten my copy yet; otherwise i would read along with you. i should be working on harder books than i am; instead, i started with quick & easies to knock a bunch off my list.
let me know how it goes!! i will follow your progress keenly. cuz, you know, i’ll be doing it soon myself.
Omg, I am totally going to live through your Moby Dick reading vicariously since I am fairly certain I will never read it myself. I should never say never, though, right.
But still.
Rock that Moby Dick!
(That sounds so wrong, somehow.)
Thanks Moonrat, I shall report back on my progress
