New year, new challenge. This will be my 7th year doing this. (OMG y'all, I've now been on LJ for officially 10 years!) I failed miserably last year. 24 books! Sad sad sad. I will make up for that this year. I stumbled across The Art Of Manliness's100 Must Read Books and think I may try to tackle those on the list I haven't read yet. I've got most ( Read more... )

I think of all the goals I set for myself each new year the 50 Book Challenge is my favorite. It's a very slow goal and the end result is a happier, usually more educated me. Even if I don't reach the 50 book goal, which given my record, I don't usually, I still get to read books. Can't beat that ( Read more... )

This will be my fifth year of doing the 50 book challenge. Looking back, I have only made it to 50 once. But that's ok. 50 books is kind of a pie in the sky goal for me. Since graduating college and realizing that I not only have time for hobbies, but also money, I have tested out a whole slew of them. It's been a blast to do, but has left so much ( Read more... )

It's also nice to see the trends in my life. What was important enough to me to go and read about. So, here's the books. All of my lists can be found here1. E.J. Graff ( Read more... )

So I didn't quite make the 50 book challenge for 2007. I finished book 49 today. Ah well. I was close. I will be doing it again this year! So this will be my post to track my progress. (For a look at last year's books you can go hereI have other goals that I am going to trying to meet this year. (Not resolutions though.) I promise to make posts ( Read more... )

This is another one of my non-resolutions. I hope to read 50 books this year. When I was in highschool, this wouldn't have been a problem at all. I probably averaged 2-3 books a week. Since I've gotten so obsessed with LiveJournal the past couple of years, I've spent all of my time reading all of the cool stuff I've found in communities or the ( Read more... )
