Townsend, Cloud - Boundaries


the amazon link


It's taken me a long time to get through, I have this feeling I've read bits of it before. Found it extremely applicable, although the kind of book you probably need to go back and reread at various stages of your life. I also found exceptionally helpful (a while back) - Hiding from Love (by Townsend).

Boundries. Big thing in my life in round about kind of ways. Worth the read.
3.5/5 (just because I can't keep giving 4's and because it's not all applicable directly to me. Depends on the reader). Very Good.

Adams, Douglas - Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (a trilogy in four parts)


Yeah I know you know what it's about

Ok so not first time for reading this, I've read the first book before not the three following.
Highly enjoyed. Took several train trips as I limited myself to reading it only on the train. Finally done. A laughing matter :P

4/5... oh its beginning to be so predictable, but there are fours and fours. They differ. This four is for enjoyment, the ability to make me laugh, and whacked out mind boggling notions.

So long and thanks for all the fish.

Camus, Albert - The Outsider


The Outsider

4/5

existentialist novel. strange strange, if you have read this I want to discuss it with you.

definition of existentialist:
A philosophy that emphasizes the uniqueness and isolation of the individual experience in a hostile or indifferent universe, regards human existence as unexplainable, and stresses freedom of choice and responsibility for the consequences of one's acts.

Binchy, Maeve - Scarlet Feather


Scarlet Feather

4/5

previously read Quentins (some same characters)

All Read

Not entirely sure of the purpose of this blog. Will become clear in time. As yet to simply keep track of what I've read, maybe give a bit more info on the books. To begin anyhow, as there is an endless supply of quality stuff out there as well as a lot of crap. I generally hope I read decent books. Should there be a discrepancy of any kind I will say so.

Will do my best to find pictures of the covers I've read the books under, as it is easier for me to remember them that way.

For the moment.
just a record of what I've read.
