November Group Read: Check in the First

[glinda]

I spent all day excited to make this post and then when the time came I...emm...forgot. Sorry about that.

Anyways... the first week of the challenge has reached an end. Time to share with the class your triumphs and tribulations. Finish a book? Make a start on something that you've been meaning to get round to for ages? Or finally accept that that one book everyone recommended you is just not your thing and you're never going to get past the second chapter?

Successes and failures below the line please!

I have so far managed to read a book a day, four of them being books I bought pre-2016. So I am hitting my goals, though not catching up to my year-long goal.

Finished:
-The Talisman Ring, Georgette Heyer.
-Predictably Irrational, Dan Ariely.
-Genome, Matt Ridley.
-Natural Causes, James Oswald.
-This is Your Brain on Music, Daniel Levitin.

Powering on I see! :)

How did you enjoy This is your Brain on Music? I read chunks of it for my dissertation and I've been meaning to go back and re-read it properly (ie for pleasure rather than research).

I enjoyed it, though despite Levitin's best efforts, sometimes the music-specific jargon was a bit too much for me!

Congratulations on hitting your month goals (if not your yearly ones). Hope you're finding some good things in there too.

Thank you!
