Malteaser's 50 Book Challenge

Great idea, nicked from here. (1) Every Second Counts - Lance Armstrong with Sally Jenkins I'm a little over half way through this, enjoyable enough book to read although I found it a bit boring for a few chapters when he gets into the nitty gritty of his training methods.

The Stiglitz is great - it's just a pity that everything he has written since has been disappointing

I didn't really enjoy reading it all that much in the end. My reading kept getting interrupted and I found it difficult to get back into afterwards. I might give it another go when my exams are finished at the end of January.

(3) The Tales of Beedle The Bard - J.K Rowling

Really short, only took about 45 minutes to read but really enjoyable all the same.

(I'm a massive Harry Potter fan so I was always going to enjoy this book!! )

(4) The Secret - Rhonda Byrne

Let me start by saying that before I read this book, I hadn't the foggiest idea what it was about. I just saw it on the bookshelf at home and after hearing some hype about it, started to read. For some reason, I thought it might have been some sort of fantasy book, well at least that's the impression I got from the cover, needless to say I ended up disappointed. I really, really didn't like this book, I hate those self-help-think happy thoughts and you'll be mega rich/happy/skinny/loved up/intelligent-books, so I knew after the first page that I wasn't going to like it. I kept reading anyway - I hate to not finish a book that I've started!! :pac:
