Idk I feel a teeeeeny bit like I'm maybe looking for a balanced argument about why a person should maybe eat meat, but in general I just like to read things about what the best way to eat is.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371636785566309578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-80729291393806932812016-04-08T02:31:59.507+01:002016-04-08T02:31:59.507+01:00Omnivore's Dilemma is good and one I think you...Omnivore's Dilemma is good and one I think you'd really enjoy though now I'm having trouble coming up with why this one in particular would be your thing.

I read Love in the Time of Cholera and I wasn't at all impressed, but I thought maybe I was being a pleb (plus I already owned 100 Years) and thought I'd give him another go. But maybe he's just not my thing. Maybe. But I will still give this a go, I just like having your permission to give up!<br /><br />I love Anna Karenina so much that I'm willing to believe that War and Pease is going to rock my world just as much! It's just... It's so huge Charlotte. Am I really ever going to finish it? AM I?!

Even if I don't read any of the books because I am a bad bad person.<br /><br />Book shopping from our shelves is very good of us and I think we are doing really well in our lives not giving all our monies to Waterstones all the time. Go us!<br /><br />I liked Franny and Zooey quiiiiite a lot, now that I think about it it was a bit Sylvia Plath-esque actually? Like kind of mental illness-y, but in a Plath way rather than a whiny teen way SORRY HOLDEN YOU SUCK. I love how you have feels about like allllll the books I have on my pile, way to know all about the books dude!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371636785566309578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-5296675857129747102016-04-07T20:57:59.338+01:002016-04-07T20:57:59.338+01:00Ugh.

I don't wish to prejudice you or anything but I honestly can't see what people like about that book. It's odd and it's dull. If you're not into it in the first maybe third, the rest is the same.<br /><br />War and Peace is surprisingly readable! There are bits that are slightly hard work but from the most part, I liked it! Plus, you get to do that thing when people use War and Peace as some kind of joke and you can say "actually I've read that".

A lot of their prompts are repeats now if you've been around a while, but occasionally there's a good one and I still love the seasonal TBRs! :)<br /><br />I've been rather enjoying playing at 'book shopping' from my shelves and making pretty piles recently too. It feels like an awesome way to get the same kick I get sailing round Waterstones, only without having to pay £80 for the privilege.<br /><br />I should try Franny and Zooey, I wasn't a Catcher fan but maybe I'll like that one better? I read a 'junior edition' of Bury My Heart at school and it completely blew me away, so I should definitely pick up my all-grown-up version at some point. I think it might break me a bit though. I also have Born to Run; I WANT to read War and Peace but not when I'm already Pickwicking because ONE EPIC BOOK AT A TIME, aaaaand V for Vendetta is the best so obviously I approve of that one. Might reread it in November actually, that seems appropriate. <br /><br />CARRY ON, LAURA. CARRY ON.Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07246472269477492583noreply@blogger.com
