It's the same for me: I want to know just how much I read in a year. I hadn't expected reading 17 books in 2 months though ... |

I guess I'm late transfering this over from the old thread. I'm going to follow a couple of other folks lead and use Fastolfe's rating system. Also, since I've read a few short stories (about 4-5 chapters eac), I'll count those a 1/2 a book (so 2 short stories = 1 book).
RATINGS SCALE = the book is a turd, avoid at all costs = not sure what to make of it = okay book = good book, recommended = great book, highly recommended = reading in progress My 2011 Reading List 1. The Passage, Justin Cronin finished 1/2/11, 784 pgs, 2. The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, Stieg Larsson Finished 1/31/11, 644 pgs, 3. The Story of O - Anne Desclos/Dominique Aury written under the name Pauline Réage Finished 1/20/11 (no page count available), 4. Shadow Walker (Neteru Academy), L.A. Banks finished 1/26/11, 500pgs, 5. Finders Keepers (Dark Avengers Series), L.A. Banks finished 1/26/11, no page count available, 5 Loser's Weepers (Dark Avengers Series), L.A. Banks finished 1/26/11, no page count available, 6. The Girl Who Played with Fire, Stieg Larsson In Progress, 630pgs, 7. Pale Demon, Kim Harrission finished 2/26/11, 432 pgs, Last edited by DaAfroSheenQueen; 02-28-2011 at 11:47 AM. |

Well, I'm a bit slow in finding this thread. I've created an Excel file that keeps track of the books I'm reading in 2011. It's in Dropbox and you can access it via the link in my signature.
Kind of a fun challenge as I've never kept track before... We'll see how it goes. Marilyn |

Nobody answered me yet as to whether audiobooks and/or graphic novels count. I'll delete these if they don't, though I will be woefully behind, my attn. span is terrible these days. The ones I have finished, I can reccomend, because I have not listed the books or audiobooks that I have started then abandoned because they didn't capture me...

But, really, there's nothing official about this; you can decide for yourself what counts and what doesn't. Most of us are just challenging ourselves and keeping track of what we read. |
