  Christy's 12x12...a bit late, but just joined Shelfari

  New Title

  

  Hi All,
  I'm coming in to this challenge and discussion a bit late, but having just joined Shelfari a couple of days ago, I've been on a binge of adding books by the dozens and realize how impossible it is to really add all my books to my shelves and still actually have my reading time. Still, loving this site. The challenge sounds great, though since I read a great deal of longer or more dense nonfiction, I may be a far cry from the 144 by December, but it is a worthy goal to aim for. I'll try to back-track and retrace some of the books I've read in the last couple of months. With that (and with apologies to all those with much more clever categories than the below), my 12x12 for 2012 Reading Challenge:
  
  1. Religion & Theology (as a ministerial candidate, I both need to read a bunch of these and enjoy expanding my knowledge)
  2. Mystery (for the times when I want light fluff)
  3. Politics/Current Affairs/Social Science (generally the topics I'm wanting to see social action on or writing into sermons and essays)
  4. Biography/Autobiography/Memoir (we all need to know some history and gain some inspiration and insight)
  5. Poetry, Art, Music (because art is needed for balance and beauty and the image in a poem opens up worlds)
  6. Science Fiction (to dream on and believe in possibilities)
  7. Self Help/Psychology (a favorite category of mine)
  8. Classics (all those books I never got around to reading after switching from being an English Major)
  9. Writing, Creativity, Journaling (to complement my passion for reading)
  10. Food & Wine/Beverages (and on the subject of passions!)
  11. Travel & Geography (Oh the places I'm going and want to go; expanding horizons on where I live)
  12. General Fiction/Literature (clearing the shelves of those long been meaning to reads)

    I found them a bit anodyne,read a couple,realized just having a famous setting (in US,and I am in UK lol) wasnt enough,so I gave up.
    Read a few Andrew Greeley,and they werent very exciting either,so I gave them up too. Similar with McCall Smith's Precious Ramotswe,though the settings were unusual.Cozies just dont seem to be my cup of tea it seems!
    I read Marion Babson books long ago,they were pleasant reads,but have blurred over the years,so I havent been able to add them to my shelf.Maybe I will have a look next year!

    I think 8 is one of the best and most uplifting books I've ever read, though I haven't finished it yet (I picked it up while on retreat and didn't feel it would be right to lift it from the retreat library). My library doesn't have it, so I will need to order from Amazon.

    I've tried to read "Night" twice now. I will make it through this year since it's one of my challenge books. I've read quite a few holocaust books but for some reason the pain I feel in even the first few pages has been more than I've been able to move past. Your #1 and #6 are also on my TBR list, and it looks like I'll need to add #8.

    I know what you mean about Night; I actually have started it a couple of times, but found it difficult to get through also. The raw horror of it is unimaginable and disturbing, yet I feel I really should try to read it given how well known and regarded the book and Wiesel is as a survivor, professor, and writer.

    Elizabeth is a bit intimidating in its sheer size and I'm not sure I'll get through all of the biographies, especially if I prioritize that one. Quite frankly, I'll be content if I either get through that one or the others.

    I have another book on Elizabeth I in my current list so if it doesn't grab me, I'll try this one. I've also been fascinated by English history, but this year's theme seems to be pre-Soviet Russian history. We'll see how it goes.

    I kind of want to steal all of these from your collection. Are those NPR Curious Listener's Guides pretty good? I think I count as a Curious Listener. If you haven't thumbed through them yet, I can take a raincheck on your reply. And is One Hundred Flowers a book of poetry or art?

    Steal away! (though the Listener's Guides are library books, so please do return on time!). While I haven't finished "reading" both of them, I have looked at them several times each and really do like the way they are laid out since I have no real knowledge and training in either area (they have a whole slew of these music guides on everything from World to Opera to Blues). Each one has a section of intro, key aspects of that musical style, instruments and history, musicians you should know, songs recommended that exemplify some aspect so you can go find them and listen for that aspect to learn, glossary, resources recommended for further learning and more. I'll write up a review when done, but even now I feel fairly confident in saying they seem like a good introductory book. One note: Perhaps not surprisingly, each book in the series is written by different experts so they have a similar format but different tone to them.

    One Hundred Flowers is a book of Georgia O'Keefe's flower paintings. It's a beautiful, oversized-coffee table book that I found for $5 at a book sale.

    I am a total ignoramus about modern american art.I am a dinosaur,love my renaissance artists so much.But I always enjoy a book which can impart information and enthusiasm in equal parts.
    I went on holiday to a friend in London (300 miles from home) and she was chagrined that she had to work for the whole week I was there.I didnt care,I spent the whole week at the National Gallery,the British equivalent of the Metropoltan in New York, just looking at the wonderful art I had only read about before.Da Vinci,Rubens,Durer etc Wonderful.I doubt I will ever do it in my life now,but how I would love to go to Italy and see the great renaissance art - Raphael,Michelangelo.Titian,Da Vinci Correggio and so on.And how I wish I could visit the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, to see Rembrandt's great works in situ.Oh well,I will continue to drool over the sumptuously illustrated art books at the library.What a pity so many of them are reference only,but I see their point,art books are seriously expensive

    It is a nice addition to my fairly good sized collection of tarot (and writing) books. It is a great add-on book, though not one I'd recommend if you are just starting with tarot (for that, I always recommend Mary Katherine Greer's three book workbook, esp. the first). For general journaling, I have some others I particularly like. Still, don't take the comments to put you off from this one. It is a lovely addition in its own right, just one I'd say is more helpful if you are already doing journaling and/or familiar somewhat with tarot.

    Kite Runner was wonderful. I enjoyed his second book "A Thousand Splendid Suns" even more, probably because it's a story of women. This glimpse into a country so different than my own, and suffering privations and religious persecutions on such a scale in this current age, was eye opening. Watching and reading the news can't begin to convey the realities of a situation ins the same way as can a well-written story.

    I was a bit ambivalent about Life of Pi.The beginning,with its descriptions of India,was exotic and fascinating to this English person.but there were doldrums during the second half of the book.The double perspective of the final section didnt really come as a surprise,it was all so fantastical anyway,but it was poignantly handled

    Hi Jil,
    Thanks for the welcome. I've been able to add a bunch from your shelves that I had fond memories of. Can you tell me a bit about the food/herb mystery series you've read? It looked sort of interesting. I tend to read lighter mysteries (Dorothy Gilman, Andrew Greeley, Llillian Jackson Braun) and that looked as if it might fit my taste.

    If you like food narratives, Pass the Polenta is a good one. Napa by James Conaway was an interesting history/wine industry book.

    I love books on writing and self help. The journaling book you have on your shelf is now on my library request list. If you aren't familiar with it, Life's Companion: Journal Writing as a Spiritual Quest by Christina Baldwin was one that I found useful.

    Happy reading.

    Hi Christy,

    I believe you are talking about the China Bayles Mysteries. Yes, I enjoyed those quite a bit and they would probably be under the "cozy mystery" category. China is a former lawyer that got burned out and decided to go out into a small town in Texas and open her own herb shop. There is lots of good herb lore, recipes using herbs (food, soap, tincture, etc. recipes) and generally good compelling reading.

    Other food/cozy mystery series I have enjoyed are the Goldy Schulz Culinary Mysteries by Diana Mott Davidson and the Tea Shop Mysteries by Laura Childs.

    Thanks for the book suggestions! Jill

    Hi Sanz,
    Thanks for the welcome. I have to smile at the desire to help anyone add to their TBR; mine is so long it could and does fill several bookcases! I just keep obsessively seeing interesting books and thinking I'll have time to read more or faster than I do.

    In any case, if you want any recommendations specific to interests in those areas, let me know. Otherwise, happy reading on the list you already have. I'm enjoying looking over people's shelves and reading comments on this board.

  Christy,I have taken many months away from chatting to people on this site,because of my eye problems.It seems most people abandoned chatting to people on their specific home page,preferring mostly just to post on the general ''what are you reading now ?'' page,so I hope you dont mind me appearing about 7 months late ! lol.
  I hope to get back into the swing with a few people,but I am so far behind in general I will probably abandon it all,and start again next year! lol
