The 2012 Annual Reading Challenge – List Thread!

[MikeOxlittle]

Goal is 52 books for the year so 1 a week.

No real goals for particular styles or authors, just whatever interests me at the time.

I do want to focus on starting and finishing a book though. I'm pretty picky and have a short attention span so that led to more books being started but not finished last year. I'll only give up a book if I really have to this year ... I hope at least.

Have fun and good luck on all on the challenge.

[Polarpenguin]

Although I'm sure I normally read more than 52 books a year, I've never really kept track. So that will be another goal to keep a record of the number of actual books read this year.
I also want to read more classics, which I'm always saying I will do. With the free PD books I have no excuse not to now. Shall set a goal of a minimum of 10 classics.

[Joy736]

My list:

01) Koorts (Saskia Noort)
02) Stormnacht - Dresden Files 1 (Jim Butcher)
03) Wolvenjacht - Dresden Files 2 (Jim Butcher)
04) De Zondares - Rizzol Isles 3 (Tess Gerritsen)
05) Noorderlicht (Suzanne Vermeer)
06) Mijn Gestolen Leven (Jaycee Lee Dugard)
07) Een Lichte Koude Huivering - Grant County 3 (Karin Slaughter)

[afa]

I have three main goals:

1. Finally get around to reading the books that I bought ages ago and are currently gathering dust on my shelf. This includes The Dragonbone Chair and The War of the Flowers by Tad Williams, The Sum of All Men by David Farland, and books 2 and 3 of The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant by Stephen R. Donaldson. I actually started the latter, but gave up a hundred or so pages in.

2. My second goal is to read more stand-alone Fantasy. I've noticed most of my reading tends to be series, as I like revisiting characters and worlds that I enjoyed. But this does mean I am missing out on some good stand-alone novels by the likes of Guy Gavriel Kay, Neil Gaiman, etc. I intend to correct that in this year.

3. Finally, I want to read more novels outside of the Fantasy genre. I got sucked into the world of Speculative Fiction about 3 years ago, and my reading since has been almost exclusively Fantasy, and I feel I should branch out. In particular, I want to venture into the world of Historical Fiction, as I've heard a lot about the genre.

[cak3]

I'm a pretty heavy reader but these past couple of years my pace has slowed down to a crawl. Just got an ebook reader and I'm going to make up for lost time!

My goal is to read 52 novels this year. The following is a list of what I've read and am currently reading.

The List:
1 - Wheel of Time : New Spring By Robert Jordan
2 - I am Legend by Richard Matheson
3 - Exhalation by Ted Chiang
4 - The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas by Ursula LeGuin
5 - Norwegian Wood (reading) by Haruki Murakami
6 - Hunger Games (reading) by Suzanne Collins
