Hey, Kapeefers!
So I had this idea where we could have something just like the Writers’ Corner, except with reading instead of writing. I don’t know if it’s a good idea, or if it will be as successful as the WC, but I’m going to give it a shot.
Here you can chat with other people while you’re reading, just like in the WC. And it will keep you accountable on how much you read. I know I, for one, need to read more. XD
SO. I’m going to kick this off 🙂
I’m here. Reading the Shakespeare play Richard III for school 🙂
@dragon-snapper @sam-kowal @jane-maree @rochellaine @jenwriter17 @catwing @kate-flournoy @winter-rose @aislinn-mollisong @ingridrd @bookwormsYou can pronounce it however you want.
January 20, 2018 at 9:33 pm #60867@dekreel I think that’s a great idea! I don’t read nearly enough either.
I’ve never read Richard III. The only thing I know from that is “My kingdom for a horse!” (At least, I think it’s from that one.) I’ve read a lot of other Shakespeare, though. Have you read any of his other plays?

January 20, 2018 at 9:50 pm #60868Good idea… except that I read too much! 😀
But, anyways, I’m reading The Three Musketeers.

Compendium of KP Literature: kapeeferliterature.wordpress.comJanuary 20, 2018 at 10:09 pm #60869@supermonkey42 That’s a cool book. How far are you in it? (I’ve never actually read it, but I know the story pretty well.)
"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
January 20, 2018 at 10:19 pm #60870@dekreel 😀 This is a great idea. The problem with me is that I get sort of immersed in the things I’m reading and don’t pay attention to anything else.

Also, Daeus has 22 turtles in his signature.January 21, 2018 at 12:00 am #60872@dekreel I think this is a cool idea! I’m like @sam-kowal though; hopefully I’ll remember this while I’m reading.
Anyway, I’m reading Centurion’s Wife and Creating Character Arcs. I kinda want to finish The Centurion’s Wife by the end of this coming week, but I’m only halfway.

Recently, I’ve read A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens, The Rithmatist by Brandon Sanderson, and Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.

www.jennaterese.comJanuary 21, 2018 at 12:29 pm #60880I don’t suppose that reading a textbook would count for this, would it?
"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."
January 21, 2018 at 12:31 pm #60881@rochellaine Oh, about halfway. D’Artagnan just found Aramis meeting with Superior of the Jesuits and the Cure of Montdidier. 🙂

Compendium of KP Literature: kapeeferliterature.wordpress.comJanuary 21, 2018 at 12:40 pm #60883@supermonkey42 Welllll…there are parts that are interesting. The part that I’m reading though, not so much.
"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."
January 21, 2018 at 12:59 pm #60885@skredder 🙂 Well, I guess you can tell us about it if you want

Compendium of KP Literature: kapeeferliterature.wordpress.comJanuary 21, 2018 at 1:11 pm #60886@supermonkey42 If you really want to know. 🙂 The book is about international business and the specific chapter I’m reading is “The Legal and Political Environment of Global Business.” The first part regarding political systems was kinda interesting, but I started losing interest when they moved on to bribes, corruption, risks, and laws.
"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."
January 21, 2018 at 1:20 pm #60887@skredder Sounds… informative. 🙂 I was recently reading about the rise of capitalism in the industrial revolution, and it was interesting to see how it evolved into its current form.
