i like keeping the list and being able to see what I have read.
Although I'm usually pretty good about remembering what I read.

Methinks I have too much on my plate to tackle the Wishbone list, especially as I keep adding books to my read list on my local library profile. I bumped into a reading list this month on my library site for "Freedom to Read Week" in Canada. Here's the list. All the books have been challenged at one point.

Freedom to Read

I recall seeing "Go Ask Alice" around in bookstores some years ago. I've added that to my current reading challenge since I believe that reading a banned or challenged book it on it. The only book from that list that I've read is Bridge to Terabithia.

I can post the details of the challenge I'm currently doing if anyone wants to see them. I believe it covers 30-ish books.

@ Quiet: I would like to see your list :)

I read The Little Prince today, I must have read it when I was a kid, it was cute and sad.

It's around her somewhere, I believe in the binder that is currently propping up my computer. Give me a minute.

A friend of mine adores The Little Prince. I've never read it, or watched it. Been curious, though. How sad is it? We talking a little melancholy or heart wrenching why-did-I-read-this?!

Here we are. :)

Superfluous Books

Wow I like this list of challenges!
I might borrow it and attempt it at some point.
That might be a good challenge for me for next year maybe.

I'm just going to chip away at it. I'll finish when I finish it.

That's what I was kinda thinking.
Just working at it, a bit at a time, not necessarily in a year, but open-ended.

Added some of the books I plan to read to my challenge list. Just so happened that one of the new ones I bought happens to be a NYT bestseller. One for that category!

My rule to myself is that one book can't count for more than one category, even if it qualifies for them. For instance, Memories of Ice is both over 600 pages and fantasy.

I can probably cover all these categories from just my collection so far (pink cover, authors from Africa and the Middle East, dystopian, book from high school, a translation, graphic novel, murder mystery, etc) but I haven't really decided on them yet.

I wish I was a faster reader. I tend to savor each word way too much! This list has intrigued me so much. I think I'm going to start it this year, and see how long it takes me, probably more than 1 year at the least.

it takes me longer to read now since I've been crocheting lots too (have been for the past 5 years)... so I don't use 100% of my free time for reading, as I did in the past.

OMG I still am loving my crocheted alien <3
I sometimes spend all day reading, usually on a Sunday or in the summer, when I'm outside reading. I don't have a hobby that takes my time, its the actual process of reading that is slow for me. I read a lot, but I read slow. I can't speed read through a book.

yaaay!

i generally read at lunch time - either at work my desk job, or after my weekend job when i eat right after I leave. i used to read at bedtime... but i'd find myself falling asleep reading, so i don't do that anymore. XD

I'm a much slower reader after university, I think because I still think along the lines of literary analysis when I read, and it's hard to let that go. Books like Memories of Ice are dense and it takes me a long while to get through them because I like to take the time to digest and ponder the content. I was reading Memories before I started that list. The other books are ones I finished at the same time. I am the type that will have several books on the go, according to the mood I'm in.

I get my best reading in after breakfast when I can do it. Sometimes in the afternoon, or when i'm reading a non-fiction book I can read for a bit at night. In the summer i read a lot because I sit outside and read.

I think that is why I read slow, I'm absorbing everything like I'm in school and its a literary assignment! I rarely very rarely do "light" reading. Most of the books I read even the fiction ones, are pretty dense.

finished my Star Wars book.... which means I've finished all the Star Wars that I'd planned to read! yaay! my current book is in my sig. =)
