But I am hoping to read 22-25 books this year so I have a ways to go. Thanks for sharing your list!<br /><br />I am curious to know your thoughts on the Pearl's book as well.Lydia H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14719110749827634156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28444732.post-82715518991430325212012-01-17T23:05:59.716+11:002012-01-17T23:05:59.716+11:00Yes, To Say Nothing of the Dog is worth reading.Yes, <a href="http://radagast3.blogspot.com/2012/01/to-say-nothing-of-dog-book-review.html" rel="nofollow"><i>To Say Nothing of the Dog</i></a> is worth reading.Radagasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15008107925553904609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28444732.post-73504941738855180462012-01-07T18:37:59.789+11:002012-01-07T18:37:59.789+11:00Another list, hurray!

It is quite entertaining, much more so than Plutarch or Livy.<br />-It would be interesting to hear your slant on the Pearls' book. People I respect very highly respect the Pearls, but every time I hear people mentioning things they learned from this particular book I blanch in terror.<br />-H'mm. I have been considering reading To Say Nothing of the Dog, and putting it off because I rarely like contemporary books. But I've also heard good things about it.<br />-I read Notes From the Tilt-A-Whirl recently and it was exactly what the doctor ordered. It's the kind of book that would be insufferable if the author didn't have anything to say, but he does, and he says it so well. I would especially recommend it to writers and to people suffering from bereavement. Sometimes the only way to comprehend something is to come at it through a poem, and Wilson does it excellently with the topic of death.<br />-I read Morning and Evening in 2011 and enjoyed it. December 24th, Evening, was my favourite! Other bits have also gotten into my commonplace book.<br /><br />Hope that has inspired you to get stuck into at least half of your reading list!Suzannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05123886143178225919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28444732.post-43485570133926880632012-01-03T22:30:54.165+11:002012-01-03T22:30:54.165+11:00I just watched the Notes from the Tilt-a Whirl fil...I just watched the Notes from the Tilt-a Whirl film and it is GREAT.
