06.Oct.2008 Sunday Salon and Banned Book Week
I haven’t posted Sunday Salon for ages, I know. And it’s even Monday morning my time right now, but I’m sure it’s still Sunday at the other parts of the world :)
Sep 27 to Oct 4 2008 is the Banned Book Week. So to participate, I’ll read Forever by Judy Blume, one of The Top 100 Most Frequently Challenged Book of 1990-2000 by ALA. Also because I just found it for $1 SGD at my fave secondhand bookshop and it’s super thin.
On the other hand, I’m also reading Kafka on the Shore. I wasn’t so sure about the beginning. A boy running away from home. I don’t really fancy coming of age stories. But then he goes to a really cool library. An old Japanese library with grand architecture and rare books. And I’m hoping there will be more stories in the library. So, so far so good.
