Books and Blogging...
Ok, so if you haven't read my previous thoughts on blogging (and you care in the slightest), you can do so here.
Apparently last year around this time there was a so-called net phenomenon in various forms, started by Bookslut, which challenged people to read 50 books in 2005, and to blog about them. Can't believed I missed it. Well, anyways, I have stumbled upon it now and in doing so have come across a fabulous blog called Fifty Books. FB is a smart, funny blog (and Canadian to boot) and book-o-philes will love it... In one night I have read 4 months worth of entries, slowed only by the fact that I am obligated by societal expectations to attend some sort of New Year's Eve festivities, otherwise I would geek out all night and keep reading. (Kidding)
While I haven't been blogging about the books I've read, I have been keeping track here (that's the Obsessive-Compulsive in me... imagine a life burdened with both fake O.C.D. and fake A.D.D.)... I think that from this list it seems I have read around 36 this year, if you count the ones "in progress" shall we call them, half-read on the table beside my bed... though I suspect the rules of the game would judge that they don't count... (rules shmules).
Anyways, for bibliophiles, check out Fifty Books. That's my point. Plus, her sense of humour is similar to mine, and so how can you go wrong?
