@Guirvre: I was never a fan of social commentary, myself. No matter what it was. But then, I liked 1984 and Brave New World, so who knows. I've gotta check it out either way. =]

@Itlu: Congrats!

Kitami My grandmother grew up in Hannabal and so did Walt Disney.
I saw WATERS OF MARS last night SCAREYYY!!!!! but good.

Saiyana - Waters of Mars was pretty good. I liked the 'creatures' that were created for the special. I can't wait for the day after xmas when the christmas special is on. XD

And today, a new book challenge begins for me! Completed last year's, now I'm trying to decide if I want to wait and start on January first, or keep this date. I'm also wondering if I ought to up my goal... Maybe 150? That would be 45 more than I read this year, but I think a fun goal to shoot for.

@'Kitami: D'oh! I didn't mean that Missourians(?) had silly accents, just that maybe Twain purposely over did it.
And I sound like a valley girl sometimes too. I say "Oh my GOD" and "dude" more than I really should.

@Itlu: Good luck! And why not keep the basic 50 and then move up the bar for yourself if/when you finish?

Go-go-go Iltu. =D

I get to update my list again, I just read David Mack's Kabuki, "The Alchemist." Picking it up was just like getting to talk to my artist friends. He's really branched out, while keeping some of the same plot elements of the series. Very inspiring and entertaining.

Hey, hey kids! I just finished #49! I am currently reading #50 and possibly #51 (we'll see when I finish it). I might make it past the mark! Yay!

Congrats, Reeny. =D

What're you reading now?

Congrats, Reeny! :D You go, girl.

Thanks, Nolori and Guivre!

Congrats Reeny!

@KatMagenta: Oh man I hear you about finals. After today my hardest finals will be over and hopefully I can go back to reading some Clarke. I feel like I am way behind on reading. =\

@'Kitami: Pft, so do I. It used to annoy her, but I guess she doesn't really hear me say it anymore. I think whenever I say it we both just kind of tune it out. xD

What are the rules on this exactly?

I think I'll want to do a list of books to read. I shall start thinking of some...

The goal is to read 50 or more in a year's time? Oh, I re-read the first post. Yes of course it is.

Well, I am interested to do this for this year. But how often would one post up their updated list?

@KatMagena: May I ask where you're from? I mean, do you have an accent that isn't native to wherever you live?

I hope you arrived home safely Kat!

This sounds like a really fun challenge. I'll have to get together some of the books I've read this year, but I'm not sure if it will be every thing. I'll post up what I can find but I think I will start seriously on January 1, 2010. As for a goal, hmmm, I'll think about a number I don't think I'll pass. (I read too much, really.)

I started Tailchaser's Song at the beggining of this week, but due to exams, I didn't have much time to read... Hopefully I'll be able to finish it today and knock out some other books before the end of break! I actually have a fair few library books due the fist day after, so we'll see how that goes. XD

I think it was Shadowfoot that mentioned Tailchaser's Song to me? Thanks for the reccomendation, it's a cute story. ;)

Hi yukihimedono! =D

I never did get around to reading Tailchaser's Song, or anything in that series. I've liked other anthropomorphic cat books though. I really enjoyed reading Reserved for the Cat by Mercedes Lackey last Fall. I mean, not every moment in it was perfect, but she has a very pleasant writing style, and some of the ideas were very clever.

Right now I'm reading a huge tome on Live Foods, which is something I've wanted to read up on for awhile. I've known about the Raw Foods movement forever, but wasn't that familiar with the live foods concept. I know how beneficial good bacteria is, being a big fan of yogurt, but otherwise ...

It's like, 10 books in one, so I can't really remember the name of it right now. Hopefully I'll have finished it by the next time I post so I can mention it.
