And I still want to read them, just haven't wanted to pick them up at bedtime, cause I know I'll stay up way too late reading. So I pick up old favorites first, then finish them next day, where I am stuck at bedtime again.<br /><br />Good idea to pick up more of the older books for checking out the difference in pacing and narrative styles. Though I need to read more of the newest books, too. I tend to not pick stuff up until a few years after they come out, when the buzz is gone.Jaleh Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04942272578488986874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542825369672674828.post-16288040452725429682012-01-04T16:14:57.451-05:002012-01-04T16:14:57.451-05:00Interesting goals. I find most older books I read-...Interesting goals. I find most older books I read-- My Side Of the Mountain, The Island of the Blue Dolphins, Anne of Green Gables, (can you tell I write MG and YA), start off more slowly than the trending current books. I feel like they capture the climate of the times, whether deliberately or not. Our culture is so fast paced, no wonder our books start out with a bang! <br /><br />What an interesting goal, to read books 50 years old! <br /><br />Good luck!Heather Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06699360166269376285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542825369672674828.post-48793169852734138202012-01-04T13:29:02.812-05:002012-01-04T13:29:02.812-05:00I've heard great things about Catch-22.

Good luck with the rest of the week!fakestephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08178042157823156839noreply@blogger.com
