So I started off this month in an attempt at NaNoWriMo. I love books and the idea of writing a book. But although I will probably continue to dabble in writing down scraps of ideas here and there, I have accepted the idea that I am a Reader, not a Writer.
I have devised a new challenge for myself.
501 Must Read Books.
I am going to read everybook listed in this book. I am giving myself no time limit. Well, before I die preferably. I am quite against zombies and refuse to become one.
Besides doing this for the fun of reading, I also figure this will be good for me in my chosen profession. When I work in a library it will be good to have a general knowledge of various book. This challenge will help me read outside my comfort level. (Travel book, Blech)
I will be posting my thoughts on each book on this blog as I finish them.
So wish me luck!
EDIT:
I added a sidebar which contains a list of the 501 Must Read Books. I have bolded the books I have already read and that number comes to 27, yay! Many of them I read along time ago, so dont ask me to give you a detailed summery or anything but they still count!
I would also like to point out, if you havn't noticed, blog redesign! Yay!
Wow, um, that's a lot of books. . .
ReplyDeleteBetter get started!
And where on earth did you find the titles? Did you just sit down and list 501 and one books?
Yah its a heck of a lot of books, but I have no time limit, so I shall probably be doing this challenge well into my elderly hood. (if my comitment lasts that long haha)
ReplyDeleteThe titles themselves came from this book I have called 501 Must Read Books, but the list that is on my blog I just copied and pasted from another website :)
