2021 Reading Challenge
January, Week 1
Hey guys, hope everyone's 2021 has kicked off to a good start.
What's the first book that you are reading in 2021?
Mountaineering in Scotland by W.H.Murray. A bit of a departure for me as I'm normally a fiction reader, but this has been great so far. Murray has a very descriptive and poetic style for a climber and some of the stuff they do is unbelievable. Written in the mid 1950s so the equipment they use is poor, making their feats even more impressive.
Unfortunately doesn't fit the discord challenge of fairytale, unless you consider that many modern day fairy stories originated in the Celtic British isles 😅
Do you have a reading goal this year?
Not in the sense of a specific numerical figure, I just want to read more! As. A med student I don't get too much time to read at uni and I'm hoping this challenge will help me find the time.
Last read:
Title: The Hunger Games
Author: Suzanne Collins
Number of Pages: 374
Rating: ★★★☆☆
First published: September 14, 2008
Read: April 19, 2022 - May 12, 2022
Thoughts:
First of all, I have to say the first chapter decidedly is not an inducement to keep reading the novel. It seemed like a first draft that the author or the editor forgot to come back to and fix. It feel different than the subsequent chapters. Why the editor didn’t correct it or ask the author to rewrite it? I think that does a disservice to Suzanne Collins since I liked her novel, however because of this I didn’t continue with the book when I first tried it years ago.
I liked very much the reflection of how much planning, effort, work and time goes into obtain food and the mention of how much free time one has to do other things when one has the privilege no to worry about hunting, harvest, gather, clean, etc.
Another aspect that I appreciated was that it was pointed out that people don’t have much time to consider about how a despot government manipulates history because the primordial concern is to get water, food, medicaments and protection from the cold. Nevertheless, it didn’t passed unnoticed that in the school the children were only taught political propaganda.
It was great of the author to highlight that the districts didn’t have communication between them and that was a way to prevent the people from unite and remove the regime.
Katniss is an inspiring protagonist. It was fascinating watching her being the caretaker of her family, then Rue and then Peeta. I like the way she thinks and solves her problems; I admire her compassion and I felt moved by her grieves, like the lost of her parents.
I’m intrigued by Haymitch and I expect to learn more about him in the next couple of novels.
My only other complain is the insistence of Katniss of being oblivious to Peeta’s feelings for her. That’s way too cliché in young adult fiction, as well as the love triangle for wich I never care for.
