‘Tune In’ slowly but as much as possible but i like to read it in decent chunks not a page here or there. Up to around page 230 of book one of the Extra Special Super-Duper Deluxe with-sprinkles-and-cherry-on-top-edition. But i read other things here and there; recently the events of the murders committed by George Joseph Smith in the early 1900’s, my father has a book on the complete case and trial; ‘The Unreleased Beatles’ i continue to read unorderly as well and i continue to limp thru ‘Paul McCartney : Recording Sessions (1969 – 2013)’.

Book-wise I am reading the first Harry Potter in Irish to try and get into my head various spellings into my head because essays are my worst part of the exam as I have to write on obscure topics (which would be difficult enough to write about in English) so I don’t have the correct terminology for writing about the Islamic State for example 
. It’s also 40ish days until my exams so I’m doing exam papers every evening and the Irish comprehensions are so boring, it’s ridiculous!
The last one I read on Jim Thorpe wasn’t that bad but the majority of them are so dry because they’re all written by journalists who don’t know how to engage an audience. In my mocks one of the comprehensions was on the man who the Sam Maguire (a sports cup) is named after and halfway through I was losing my will to live- I genuinely struggled to get through it, it was so boring. They never put in extracts from books because there isn’t a lot of available books published in Irish I imagine and if you read 100 books or so in Irish one of them would probably come up in the exam and they can’t let that happen.
The French ones are nice and the German ones are always ridiculously weird (the last one I did was about a creeper who stared out of his window all day watching people on the streets) which are good but the Irish ones put you to sleep.
The English ones are pretty s*it as well, I hope a book I’ve already read comes up as the novel extract, Fahrenheit 451 was on the 2010 paper! Last years was Richard Ford’s ‘Canada’ but I hadn’t read that.
Fingers crossed for a classic everyone!

To the fountain of perpetual mirth, let it roll for all its worth. And all the children boogie.

Offline ^ Which one? I plan on reading all of them again this summer. I’ve only read the 5th twice and I’ve forgotten a lot of the little details so I’m looking forward to it!
I’m reading the first one now and it’s ridiculous how excited I am for events that I’ve read at least 20 times before.

Offline The first time I read it, I was 10ish and I think I didn’t even finish it because it was too big and really slow-paced, I read it again when I was around 13 and I thought it was good but I prefer ‘The Goblet of Fire’ far more.

The first Harry Potter book I read was the Goblet of fire. I probably read Order of the Phoenix the most.

Offline I started reading them with the first book when I was 6 or 7. I read them something like this:
I think although I’m not 100% sure with the HBP or OOTP order either :/ Curses memory….
1. Philosopher’s Stone
2. Chamber of Secrets
3. Prisoner of Azkaban (I stopped here for a year or two because GOF’s size was intimidating for 7 year old ASJ)
4. Deathly Hallows (I think? I got it on the first day it came out so… it was either this or Goblet of Fire and I didn’t understand DH at all as a 9 year old because of the horcruxes which I obviously hadn’t heard of before)
5. GOF
6. HBP
7. OOTP
I always read PS, COS and POA together so those are my most read with GOF after it, then HBP and finally OOTP.

Offline Just picked up Mark Lewisohns “The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions” for $15 on Kijiji, and went all out and bought “Beatles Gear” on amazon for $30
Both hard book editions, so happy.
Although I heard somewhere here on BeatlesBible that there will be a new Beatles Gear coming out, but can’t beat that price.

It’s pretty good if you’re a fan of the TV show, but I don’t think that it would be very enjoyable if you weren’t.
I'm Necko. I'm like Ringo except I wear necklaces.

I read the first two, started the third – then stopped from the enormous feeling of deja vu.
