February Reads

[sweet_sparrow]

Posting a day early since I doubt I'll be getting anything fnished before the end of today. I'm feeling a little hyper at the moment, so hopefully I'll be able to sleep properly. February has been a bit of a blur and I started out this post convinced that I hadn't posted about January at all! (Turns out that I did.)

Real-life-wise, things should hopefully start to resume some form of calm and normalcy in March. At least for a while.

I kept my February's reading light for the most part and failed utterly in getting ahead with my course book reading. (I finished Nostromo by Joseph Conrad, though! I am still ahead of my classes! If only barely...)

My memory for which books I read when is just as abysmal as last month. It may even be worse. Have what I recall!

A Swift Pure Cry by Siobhan Dowd
Merlin’s Harp by Anne Eliot Crompton
Lancelot and the Lord of the Distant Isles: Or The Book of Galehaut Retold by Patricia Terry & Samuel Rosenberg
The Last Unicorn (Graphic Novel adaptation) by Peter S. Beagle & Peter B. Gillis
Tehanu by Ursula Le Guin
Tales from Earthsea by Ursula Le Guin

How about you? What's your reading been like the past month? Read anything you'd love to recommend to all and sundry? Something you'd warn against? Happy reading in March!

It's a great title, definitely catches the attention. :) To be fair, I don't think the author is trying to be objective - aside from a small statement in the foreword about being a Brit living in France he's in the perfect position for this and so on - as the blurb on the back is pretty much about debunking French versions of events.

Heh, it's not quite a brick, although if it was in hardback I might struggle with it more. It's a pretty easy read, though, when I actually get around to picking it up. :)

Heh. Reminds me a tiny bit of The Undutchables. Only there it's Dutch ex-pats poking fun at the Dutch.
Doesn't sound like objectivity is the goal, no. Hopefully it'll catch people's attention enough to make them look up more on the things that catch their interest!

That's good. ^-^ I'm glad you're enjoying it. ^-^

Heh, objectivity not so much, no. It does make me want to brush up on the Napoleonic Wars beyond the Sharpe and Hornblower films/books though. :D
