Amsa1959´s 37

I´ve just finished Purge by Sofi Oksanen. A good and terrible read. Not very old, but I bought it in the beginning of 2010 and also started to read it, but then I let it rest until now.

I´m doing two oldies at the same time... I´m reading The Glass Bead Game by Herman Hesse and listening to The Help by Kathryn Stockett. I like them both, but of course Hesse is a lot more demanding than Stockett. I like The Help but finds it now a little tiny bit boring. Well, I´ll write a review when I´m done!

At last! I´m tempted to yell. I´ve finished The Glass Bead Game by Herman Hesse. That´s my second oldie. I will post a review on the group blog (www.37in11.blogspot.com) tonight. I can just say I´m glad I read it...

Sounds a fascinating book, Amsa but a heavy one! Well done for getting it finished- and reviewed!

My next oldie is not as old as the former. I´ve read Susan Hills´s The Mist in the Mirror. A lovely old fashioned ghost story. I bought the book around the en of summer, so it does count as oldie. I felt I needed something easy and something I new I would enjoy.

I´ve just finished the first of Fred Vargas Adamsbergs series The chalk circle man. I can´t remember when I mooched it, but it was when I realised I hadn´t read the first in the series. It was quite ok but not as good as I expected.

I also see that I haven´t posted a message about finishing Hilary Mantels Wolf Hall

My next oldie - nr 6 - is a novel by a swedish author Bengt Ohlsson Kolka. It is about a girl moving from Latvia to Great Britain and her somewhat disturbed feelings. I liked it the first half but then it got quite boring. It didn´t keep what it promised.

I´ve read Kolka av Bengt Ohlsson and The Chalk Circle man by Fred Vargas
only....30 books to go!

The Earth hums in B-flat by Mari Strachan - Wonderful

- Vegomyten by Lierre Keith

no 11 is So many books, so little time by Sara Nelson. A quick and joyful read.

I love that book! Books about reading are so entertaining.

no 12: Stephen Booth´s The Lost River

Wow slow down! #12?!?!?

No 13 is Haruki Murakamis Hard boiled Wonderland and The end of the World.
An amazing and wonderful novel!

My! I have been reading to many new books! It´s time to get back to the old ones on the shelf!

no 14 is Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë. I read it for the first time 32 years ago. I liked it better this time!

Well, only 23 to go.... Since I´m also in the Orange january/july group I have some "old" Orange price winners and nominees I´m planning to read this july.

You are doing well, Amsa. I'm doing so badly with my reading (mostly new books and library books) that I'm embarrassed to record the few oldies that I've read. There have been some though so I really should go and reunite myself with my thread!

I´ve just finished Half a Yellow Sun which have been waiting on my shelf forever. I don´t know why I haven´t read it before. I liked it very much.

Anne-Marie: Half a Yellow Sun has been on my shelf, too. I'm glad to hear you liked it. Maybe that will give me impetus to get to it.

I just finished Maggie O´Farrell´s The vanishing act of Esme Lennox and liked it very much. I have also read Reines dagbok.

Sooo now only 20 left!

I have tagged the old books in my "to read" list with 37in11 and there is now 20 left. Perfect! I´m at the moment reading The wishing game wich I bought many years ago and I love it!
