Reading Challenge, 2011



<img:stuff/SFdiv1.gif>


Welcome to the Reading Challenge 2011. The idea is to set yourself a certain number of books to read in 2011 and then... to read that many books! After you read them, you have to write a review of that book. YOU set the amount of books you want to read this year - so don't tell me you don't have time for this. It can be as low as 5, or as high as 200. After you've written your review, don't forget to add a link to it to the wiki where you're listing the books you've read.

How to join up:

Follow the example below. write your name below, and then a link to the wiki-page where you will be keeping a list of the books you've read. Below that, keep a tally of how many books you've read, and also list when you joined the challenge. E.g.:

FAQ

Q: Can I re-read books I've already read?
A: You can re-read books you've already read prior to this year (providing you haven't already written a review on it) but you can't count the same book twice, even if you read it twice this year.

Q: How do I write a review?
A: Go to your ET diary. In the top right corner are a load of buttons. One of them says 'write a review'. Click it!


Q: It's February/March/November - can I still join?
A: Sure. But take when you're starting into consideration when deciding your goal.

Q: Can I count comics/graphic novels?
A: That's entirely up to you, and whether you personally count them as books or not. The point of this challenge is to get people to read more, so if you already read 300 comic books a year, then maybe you shouldn't count them. (NB: I know many people in other challenges count 3-5 comics/mangas as equivalent to one book).

2011-04-21 [Alexi Ice]: I LOVE this idea! I wish I would have found it sooner!!

2011-04-21 [Akayume]: (: It is pretty spiffy.

2011-04-21 [Alexi Ice]: I think I'm only going to list a *few* of the manga's I've read....>> Since I've probably read fifty this month alone. (manga whore!)

2011-04-21 [Akayume]: I used to read a lot of manga. Now I don't have the time/money. :(

2011-04-21 [Alexi Ice]: I read most of mine online, then if I really like them I go buy the series ^^

2011-04-21 [Akayume]: I try to buy them to support the industry, since it isn't doing too well right now.

2011-04-21 [Alexi Ice]: No kidding. Shojo Beat which was my absolute favorite manga based magazine went belly up not too long ago...I seriously thought I would cry!

On another note - I'm trying so hard to finish 'Fanboy and Gothgirl' but this book DRRRRRAAAAAGGGGGGGGGSSSSS!! I hate buying books and not finishing them though. Even if they are painfully boring.

2011-04-21 [Akayume]: DX Awwwwwwww.

2011-04-21 [Viking]: HUh...I need to get back to Blade of the Immortal some time.

2011-05-01 [Marlene'Jacques]: i've always got my nose in a book but am crap at actually reviewing them :(

2011-05-01 [windowframe]: Join anyway. :)

2011-05-01 [Marlene'Jacques]: okies :) just gotta remember what books i read recently lol

2011-05-22 [Mortified Penguin]: I haven't bought any manga in years. And I can't keep buying graphic novels either. Especially since there's no bookcase for them and they're just piled on my floor, providing living quarters for the floor spiders.

2011-05-22 [hanhepi]: et ate my comment. :(
anyway, as i tried to say before, if you go "liberate" a few milk crates from behind the grocery store, you can put the graphic novels in them, and keep the piles from sliding all over the place. then if you throw a board over the milk crates, you got end tables/night stands. bachelor furniture at its best.

2011-05-22 [Viking]: We used to use empty kegs with pieces of plywood over them.

2011-05-22 [hanhepi]: we got our deposit back for kegs, so they went back to the store pretty promptly. (although, my brother in law did turn a few kegs into a grill, which came out rather bad assed.) electrical spools -the big wooden ones the electric company has- also make awesome end tables, but you just can't beat the storage capacity of the milk crates in my opinion.

2011-05-22 [Viking]: We once 'found' some empty kegs behind a beer store. We decided to hold onto them for a bit before claiming any deposit money.

2011-05-23 [hanhepi]: ah! that explains a lot. yeah, those would have made very nice tables. XD chairs too, in a pinch.

2011-08-02 [Alexi Ice]: Finally updated mine after I don't know how long...>> Added my picture of my poor, poor copy of The Philosophers Stone, as well. Anyone want to buy me a new one?

2011-08-15 [Akayume]: I am never going to finish. *headdesk*

2011-08-15 [Alexi Ice]: I might...maybe. lol
