Revision as of 04:50, 3 January 2007
I've decided that, for 2007, my one and only resolution will be to attempt the "50 Book Challenge." I will say right off the bat that I hold zero delusions of actually completing 50 books this year. None whatsoever. But I figure, if I at least make the attempt, and even if I only manage to read 5 books in 2007, that will still be 5 times as many as I managed to read in 2006.
