13.Oct.2008 Martel-Harper Challenge
Update 26 Jan 2009 My wrap-up post here.
Dewey from the Hidden Side of Leaf is hosting Martel-Harper Challenge, which I cannot resist, despite my effort to not join any more challenge. But this only requires you to read 2 books in 3 months, so I’d think that’s feasible.
Rules: Read 2 books (you sign up quarterly) from the list of books that Yann Martel (the author of Life of Pi) sent to Canada’s PM Stephen Harper (read full story here). Every book goes with a letter about the reason why it is chosen.
Duration: This time it goes from October to December. So it should end 31 December 2008.
My list
1) Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi [Martel's letter] [my review]
2) To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee [Martel's letter]
I never heard of the story until Dewey mentioned it. It’s so interesting. If you were to send your country’s Prime Minister or President a book every 2 weeks, which books would you choose? Tough choice. That’s why I’d like to follow the list, and probably pick up a few books here and there.
