The Eclectic Reader Challenge



This year, I have decided to take part in the Eclectic Reader Challenge. Hosted by Book'd Out, the goal is for participants to read twelve books from twelve different categories. As I have now been blogging a while, I have seen plenty of different challenges, but this one really appealed to me because it is going to take me out of my comfort zone and means that I will be reading books from genres that I usually overlook. 

The twelve categories are as follows:

Award Winning
True Crime (Non Fiction)
Romantic Comedy
Alternate History Fiction
Graphic Novel
Cosy Mystery Fiction
Gothic Fiction
War/Military Fiction
Anthology
Medical Thriller Fiction
Travel (Non-Fiction)
Published in 2014

My selections are:

Award Winning: Disgrace by JM Coetzee
True Crime (Non Fiction): In Cold Blood by Truman Capote
Romantic Comedy: I Say Tomato by Katie Wall
Alternate History Fiction: TBA
Graphic Novel: Vampire Academy the Graphic Novel by Richelle Mead
Cosy Mystery Fiction: TBA
Gothic Fiction: The Bad Sister by Emma Tennant
War/Military Fiction: TBA
Anthology: Magic Dirt by Sean Williams
Medical Thriller Fiction: TBA
Travel (Non-Fiction): Going Postal by Nathan Millward
Published in 2014: TBA

Obviously, my list is not yet complete and there are still five TBAs there. I plan to spend the next few days searching Amazon and my local bookstores for inspiration. If you have any titles that you would like to recommend to me though, feel free to post them in the comments below ...

Peppermint Patty: I Cried and Cried and Cried

Image
Unrequited love is a common theme in the Peanuts Comics and is one that I have previously explored on this blog. We know that Lucy loves Schroeder, Sally loves Linus and Charlie Brown has a crush on the unseen, unnamed and utterly unattainable Little Redhaired Girl. But perhaps the saddest unrequited love stories from the comic is that which ran in late June 1972. It was the series of strips where the usually self-confident Peppermint Patty came face-to-face with the Little Redhaired Girl with the intention of thumping her and then something surprising happened: Here we have a usually self-confident girl, who is funny, unashamedly herself and talented at sports reduced to tears by the realisation of who she is not and never can be. I really feel for her in this series of comic strips. She knows that Charlie Brown can never love her, when he is so hung up over a girl who represents a supposedly ideal feminine beauty. Fortunately Linus, the most spiritual member of the Pean

Charlie Brown, Lucy Van Pelt and the Football

One of the longest, and arguably, most infuriating, running gags in Charles Schulz's otherwise brilliant Peanuts comic strip, is where Lucy promises to hold a football for Charlie Brown and then pulls it away at the last minute, causing Charlie Brown to fall flat on his back. A typical strip looks like this: Source: Go Comics The gag is one of the darker themes in the strip. It works on the concept that every year, Lucy promises to hold a football for Charlie Brown. Every year, Charlie Brown is initially filled with doubt but is eventually pushed on by a kind of optimism that perhaps, this time, Lucy might just let him kick it after all. As a metaphor for life, it is pretty simple. It talks of the moments when we choose to put our trust in people who have let us down only to be taken by surprise when they let us down, again. Lucy is, arguably, one of the crueller characters in the comic. Described as crabby by the other characters, she is often selfish, takes delight in wilfully hu

Phrases and Idioms: Tickets on Himself

To have tickets on himself: (Australian slang.) To be conceited or vain. To have an overinflated opinion of oneself.  He's got tickets on himself if he thinks that any woman would fall for that. I was thinking about this particular bit of Australian slang the other day, after my boss said, "He's got tickets on himself," to describe the actions of a particular individual. At the time, I smiled, knowing exactly what the boss meant. Later on, I started to ponder on this unusual phrase and wondered where it might have come from. A search on google helped me find the definition, but that was about all. There are no references to it being used in pop culture or literature (if you find one, let me know,) and at the time of writing this post, Tickets on Himself was not listed on Urban Dictionary. (I tried to add it, but the fuckers rejected my definition. They probably think I have tickets on myself or something for trying to add a relatively common piece of A
