Forty-eighth challenge finish of the year.
This one has been on my Kindle since early 2018, when I bought it at a Kindle special price.
This is a compilation of blog posts by the author. I've enjoyed the author's work in the past, and I like that this is blog posts. The first is about a survey the author was asked to take inquiring about her spare time (hence the title). Some essays/posts were over my head. But my favorites were Pard and the Time Machine and Exorcists. Many were very enjoyable, but those two stood out to me so much that I remembered their names.
Forty-ninth challenge finish of the year.
I read this when I was in high school. Every once in awhile I've thought of it and wondered how I would feel about it on a second read through. I really didn't remember the young men in the book very much...and it's pretty much only about them.
Let me just say that coming-of-age stories are not my favorite. I read A Separate Peace by John Knowles, and The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger as an adult, and they were a struggle for me to get through. The self absorbtion of pubescent boys is painful to read. I have long said that, "I didn't even like teenagers when I was one." Holds true.
