30 Day Book and Literature Challenge: Day 2

Your 5 least favorite books of all time.

  • The Expected One by Katherine McGowan.
(A weird DaVinci Code rip-off/wish-fufillment with lots of harping on red hair. And it was dull).
  • The Independence of Miss Mary Bennett by Colleen McCullough
(Colleen McCullough is generally respected as a novelist, I can only explain this aberration as a way of thumbing her nose at P&P fans.)
  • Star by Danielle Steel
(I was ten or eleven or so and wasn’t quite old enough to laugh at bad writing/plotting/characterization/everything. I did not understand how Danielle Steel was an ‘international best-selling author’.
  • HRH by Danielle Steel
(I was fourteen or fifteen or so and was old enough to laugh at bad writing/plotting/characterization/everything (Twila… anyone?). I did not understand how Danielle Steel is such a publishing juggernaut. I still don’t get it. 
  • Green by Jay Lake

(Yeah… this just got weird. Like making no sense and being mind-numbingly dull. The cover looked cool.)

30 Day Book and Literature Challenge: Day 1

(Yeah, I might as well do this. Of course we start out with the evilest question ever)

Your 5 favorite books (novels) of all time in no particular order:

  • Dune by Frank Herbert:
(this never gets old for me)
  • Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray:
  • Sentimental Education by Gustave Flaubert (thanks betterbooktitles)
  • All The King’s Men by Robert Penn Warren
(no… it’s not this one, but the guy on the left is rather gorgeous  and it made me laugh, so here we go)
  • To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf OR Kushiel’s Dart by Jacqueline Carey OR Bluebeard by Kurt Vonnegut. (I can do four or seven, take it or leave it)
(I love this book but I see this and kind of think blue balls rather than blue beard)

Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace (10 December 1815 – 27 November 1852), born Augusta Ada Byron, was an English writer chiefly known for her work on Charles Babbage’s early mechanical general-purpose computer, the analytical engine. Her notes on the engine include what is recognised as the first algorithm intended to be processed by a machine; thanks to this, she is sometimes considered the “World’s First Computer Programmer”.[1][2]
She was the only legitimate child of the poet Lord Byron (with Anne Isabella Milbanke). She had no relationship with her father, who died when she was nine. As a young adult, she took an interest in mathematics, and in particular Babbage’s work on the analytical engine. Between 1842 and 1843, she translated an article by Italian mathematician Luigi Menabrea on the engine, which she supplemented with a set of notes of her own. These notes contain what is considered the first computer program—that is, an algorithm encoded for processing by a machine. Though Babbage’s engine has never been built, Lovelace’s notes are important in the early history of computers. She also foresaw the capability of computers to go beyond mere calculating or number-crunching while others, including Babbage himself, focused only on these capabilities.

Best Friend: Luna Lovegood, Lover: Draco Malfoy, Enemy: Ginny Weasley, Twin Wand With: Sirius Black, First Kiss: Fred Weasley, Killed By: Severus Snape.

As much as I adore this, it sounds very familiar. I believe there may already be a couple thousand fanfics with eerily similar plots…

No matter who you are, what you have been through, how terrible you have felt, regardless of where you come from, what you do, what you look like, how you behave, always know that one thing above everything else is true.
