52 Books in 52 Weeks

I saw this thread on the Bendis Board and, seeing as how I managed to complete 4 books this year, it seemed like a noble, if foolhardy, goal.

The basic point is to read a book a week for the entire year.  The rules, stolen from their blog, are as follows:

  1. You can count a book as read as long as you have completed the book in 2010 and at least 50% of that reading takes place in 2010
  2. Any book counts as long as you’re not embarrassed to count it.
  3. Poetry collections do indeed count.
  4. Re-reading a book is okay as long as it isn’t done this year. (Reading Twilight twice in 2010 only counts as 1 read)
  5. Audiobooks also count.

3 and 5 probably won’t mean much to me, but I’ll give it a shot.

Last year, I managed to up my total back to 28. […]
