50 Book Challenge - 2009
Jan. 1st, 2010 08:11 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
I made it to 50 last year... just. This year I am aiming for the same. Upping it to 55 just seemed a little scary, and it seems half the books on my 'to read' shelf are extremely fat and would kill a charging elephant at 50 paces.

So, anyways, I noticed we have quite a lot in common as well, so mind if I add you?

Date: 2009-07-07 11:06 pm (UTC)I know. I seriously can't stop listening to them. Ah, is that Jarvis in your icon? For a minute there I thought it was Paul Banks from Interpol. Slightly same big nerdy glasses. :P
And you're incredibly lucky to have seen Supergrass live. Bet they were amazing, huh?

Date: 2009-07-08 03:56 pm (UTC)Question: Would you say they sound like Blur?
no subject
Date: 2009-07-08 07:24 pm (UTC)I guess if someone was only now just getting into either Blur or Supergrass (which I'm assuming you are? Sorry if I've got the wrong end of the stick there!) then the comparison is definitely viable. I practically grew up listening to them both though so it's hard to be objective :D
