[...] I’m liking the fact that having a goal for the year (50 books) is spurring me to rediscover my love for reading. I’ve always loved reading as a child all the way ’til I was in high school, but when college came and I was caught up in the Whole New World of software, web development, and of course Having A Boyfriend — I did not read as much as I should have (nor write, for that matter). I read here and there but I probably read only five new books a year; quite a disgrace. [...]

Good luck, Lisa! :D Ya books are such easy reads, I finished one in two days, just reading at night when I’m done with work (if I didn’t have other things I need to do, I’d have finished it earlier, too). I’m already plotting to stock up on a few YA books XDDD but I’m hoping to also broaden my reading list, too. :D

I read over 50 last year but I have to admit 3/4 were YA books. I was having a hard time concentrating on most books. Hopefully this year isn’t a repeat! ;)

Good luck din! I figured one a week wasn’t too bad, and right now while I’m reading YA fantasy eh feeling ko I could even devour two a week XD I think the book ban is a good idea — at least you get the reading list down! :D

This is interesting. :) Haha I have a lot of books on hold here, but I doubt I’d reach 50. I could try though. But I’m on buying book ban until June or so…I spent most of my money in Doulos last weekend. :D New books! Haha.

Good luck!

Eee yay! So far I’m doing quite good with it, I’m on my third book — one book a week. I mean to put them all up with reviews and such here soon, there’s just no time to, plus I can’t find a good WP plugin which I can use :P Boo! XDD

I also commute long distances, but I get very sick if I attempt to read while in transit. :)

I’ll join you! I managed to read 50 books in 2006, and hope to do it again in 2007. My list/post is here and I’ll also be posting updates and reviews at my book review site, the Athenaeum. =)

I’m kinda lucky in a way, as I commute long distances to work each day, and get to pack a lot of reading in whilst travelling. ;) If you read a little bit each day, you’ll definitely be able to do it!

Yay, books! :D

I’ve failed reading 50 books in 2006: http://www.uinen.com/fifty.php (I don’t think I will be able to read 12 books in 2 days ;)) but I’m going to try again in 2007. :)
