I have started reading The Boys from Brazil by Levin as part of my 13-seconds reading challenge.
1. The Boys from Brazil by Ira Levin (S1) ~ 8/10 A thriller based on a Nazi conspiracy with a hint of sci-fi, an entertaining page-turner; ideal for holidays.
2. A Short Story of Tracktors in Ukranian by Marina Lewycka (W1/N1) ~ 7/10 A humourous take on immigrants living the UK. Very promising!
3. Decameron by Boccaccio (R11) ~ 8/10
4. Gentlemen and Players by Joanne Harris (W2/S2) ~ 7/10
You finished a book already this year?!?! Was it a novella? :p
1. Winterdance by Gary Paulsen 9/10.
1. King Lear.
Oh poops. I wanted to make this thread. I knew I would forget to do it and someone else would make it instead. I guess also we could include books we FINISHED in 2013 but may have started earlier.
Somewhat; about 200 pages and I started on December 31st actually. :DQuote:

A reread, but certainly a worthwhile one. Brilliant book.
