+ | === My Personal 50 Book Challenge === | ||
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. As you'll notice, I'll be reading a wide range of genres, including children's books and analytical texts. I will also be counting reread books in my total (for example, I need to refresh myself with the Harry Potter storyline before going into the books I haven't read yet). | I've decided that, for 2007, my one and only resolution will be to attempt the "50 Book Challenge."

My Personal 50 Book Challenge
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. As you'll notice, I'll be reading a wide range of genres, including children's books and analytical texts. I will also be counting reread books in my total (for example, I need to refresh myself with the Harry Potter storyline before going into the books I haven't read yet).
