Book Reading.......

[disneydream06]

I FINALLY finished up another book.
I read "A General History of the Robberies & Murders of the Most Notorious Pirates" by Captain Charles Johnson.
It was an impulse buy in the gift shop at the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disney World. :p
It was a fairly dry read.
It was written back in the 1700s I believe, and that added to the toughness of the read. Spelling and language style didn't make for an easy flow.
He included a couple of female pirates, but it was a very sexist inclusion. He didn't really talk too much about their pirate lives. Instead he talked more about their homes lives leading up to their becoming pirates.
A handful of the pirates he talked about were really cut throat/blood thirsty. YIKES...
Most just kind of sounded like bad bullies. lol...
Also it took a long time to read because I haven't been sleeping well, so when I would go sit down on breaks at work to read, I would have a LOT of trouble keeping my eyes open to read. There were some nights in an hour period, I only managed to read something like 3 pages. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have donated 2 boxes full of books to local library. I have started picking up books again. I like how they take me to a different place anx time even just for a moment

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

I should take some books in, but I find it really hard to give away books that I have enjoyed.

[inner-storm.livejournal.com]

I'm going very slow at the moment as well.. do you already know what you'll be reading next?

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

I am on page 122 of another book already.
Gotta love fluffy fun books. LOL..............
I also am about 1/4 of the way through of a book on my Nook. It's kind of a slow read too though.

[mrdreamjeans.livejournal.com]

It's still a very impressive list of books in one year. I started a list, inspired by Mark and you! :)

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :)

YAY for readers. :)

I watched a tv programme a while ago about pirates, it was very interesting, especially as it was in modern day parlance!

Why aren't you sleeping?

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Gotta love pirates. :)
Well, you know what I mean. :p

I am not really sure.
I fall asleep easy enough, but then I just wake up way too early. Today was after 3 hours. BLECK..........
