Take a Chance Challenge #1--Random Book Selection


This challenge required me to go the bookstore or library and make up my own rules before I went in.  So, I went to the library of course--too cheap for the bookstore.  I walked to the fiction section and went in 3 rows, walked to the middle, went down 3 rows from the top and then 10 books over.  That lead me to "A Catskill Eagle" by Robert B. Parker.  This book (as I've mentioned a few times now) is not what I would normally enjoy reading but if I liked shoot-em-up and kill-em mysteries it would've been great.  The story line was good and mostly kept my interest.  I did enjoy reading something a little different but was glad to be done!

I'm participating in Jenners' summer challenge too. This doesn't sound like my type of book either. I'm glad that at least it kept your attention. I wonder about whether some of my choices will not be my type either. The challenge is a good idea to read different types of books. Happy reading!

Well, I hope the other books in this challenge work out a little better. I think I've seen books by this author and I always pass them by. At least it wasn't too painful ... and it is good to mix it up every now and then. : )
