I've only just come across this, but I'll give it a go as it sounds like a wicked idea, and seems a nice way to keep track.

@tirethminet: @_@ Your bookcase is an entire wall, why do you need to ransack mine? Though how is The Graveyard Book? I really need to get more Neil Gaiman, I have an urge to read MirrorMask.

@Blahrrgh
Welcome!
Once you finish reading Life of Pi, let us know how you like it. I read it a few years ago and was pretty impressed with the first few chapters. It kind of petered off once Martel started writing the actual plot, but it's an overall good book.

Edit:

Oops, looks like I missed a few people.
Welcome Willow_Moon & tirethminet! I've added your lists to the first page, too.

Welcome, everyone!

@Willow: Sounds good! I've never heard of the game or the book before. I'm glad that you're enjoying it. Do you usually prefer sci-fi?

@tirethminet: Would you like called Leenie? Let me know if you enjoy Inkheart! I read it a couple of years ago, and liked it a lot; I'm considering picking it up again so that I can read the sequel as well.

@Blahrrgh:YES! Life of Pi! For school or pleasure?

Jeez, I wish I'd found this thread in August. The last three months I've read over 50 books. I have a life list, but it's no fun just to post them when you're done with ALL of them.

Guivre, just start now.
Set a reasonably high goal for yourself and aim to finish it by next November.

That way you can still have fun and get some support from everyone here.

That is a good idea, I think my pacing will be more normal now.

You don't have to limit yourself to 50 if you know that you can read more.

The point of the challenge is to push yourself - Think of a high number that might be kind of tough to reach. That's where the fun starts!

Six more books and I'll be finished for this year. ^-^
I kinda feel like it's cheating though if most of the books on the list have been reread. =/

Don't worry Kearin, I've been counting rereads too.

But I see no reason not to add them to my list. It takes time to read them over again, I enjoy picking them up, and I always seem to find some new detail that I never noticed in the writing before. Since I'm discovering something new every time I look through them, they deserve to be listed.

I never re-read anything... Unless I haven't read it in 5+ yrs and I thought it was an amazing book. XD So thats only happened twice. Lol.

Hmmm... I feel guilty about my rereads too. I generally reread if a book is wonderful and edifying, if I haven't read it in a very long time, or if there is a movie coming out based upon the book.

School also tends to incite rereading.


... I can't help it, I'm curious! Which two books, Thoth?

Before Twilight, the only book I had ever reread was some tiny little Mary Kate and Ashley adventures book when I was like, 8. xD

I normally find it very tedious.

I believe it was Genome & lord of the rings, Aislin... XD

Yeah, same here, cherry, but I suppose it can be useful too..
