At one time I had thought about sitting down over a weekend and reading them all straight through. Perhaps I will have to do that sometime.<br /><br />I also have tried to read The Satanic Verses about three or four times and can never get past page 100. It's such a hard book with difficult concepts for me, but I do plan on trying again sometime!<br /><br />Great new additions here, Nana!Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443338685890187334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29803016.post-91795839855286786032011-08-13T14:47:50.088+00:002011-08-13T14:47:50.088+00:00wonderful selection I read the rushdie at time it ...wonderful selection I read the rushdie at time it came out and remember it being a great read even with the trouble round the books subject ,Maugham is a great choice I love his of human bondage ,all the best stuAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29803016.post-72398727185985637052011-08-13T14:42:38.649+00:002011-08-13T14:42:38.649+00:00Great collection of books!

Then again even if I read three different authors from a country, it wouldn't prevent me from reading other authors from that same country. Except that it would not be part of the challenge. However, even if I don't get to read three and I read one author, I would consider the country covered.<br /><br />Yes, Harare North was at Accra Mall. I was shocked myself. I was going there to purchase only one book and ended up buying three.ImageNationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06021414643103601330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29803016.post-13735407835470994962011-08-13T08:58:40.091+00:002011-08-13T08:58:40.091+00:00You mean, you got Harare North at the Accra Mall? ...You mean, you got Harare North at the Accra Mall? Isn't the requirement that a country leaves the challenge if you have read three books from said country a bit strict? Perhaps, I need to take a closer look at this challenge of yours? I hope that Maugham book lives up to my expectations! Finally, a book my Mahfouz!
