Guantanamo Diary by Mohamedou Ould Slahi
STILL in progress. I may end up giving up on this one because I feel like they are trying to brainwash me. I would like to finish it since I actually bought a hard copy of the book, but I doubt it. When I get to pages with lots of redactions, I get super excited.

I tried and couldn't on this one. I listened to it on audiobook and had I been reading it, I probably wouldn't have got past page 50.
I've completed 10 (and quit 1) out of 16!
That's not too bad for 3 very busy, transitional, months.
Here are the challenges/clubs I am/was participating in:

Nicely done! I should have done this but I totally chickened out at the last minute thinking I wouldn't get any reading done. Hahaha. Also thanks to this post I realized the book linkup is in fact next Tuesday and not tomorrow. Thank you for saving me the embarrassment of posting too early!
ReplyDeleteyou would have been forgiving for posting too early :)
DeleteStill Alice was actually a very good adaptation of the book. Not ruined by Hollywood at all!
ReplyDelete10/16 is good progress!
10/16 is VERY good...and actually, you've now finished that short stories book, so that's 11.
ReplyDeleteI've made my own assumption, but how is the Guantanamo Diary trying to brainwash you? I'd be interested in your take.
Uhm, and how do you have a random pizza magnet from Potts Point? I know you said the Navy paid for you to visit, but you kept the pizza magnet? I'm all for random souveniers, so why am I even asking.....
I believe that 10/16 is pretty darn good!!!
