2012 book challenge

[Prettygrimm]

i totally stopped keeping track last year, so let's try this again. i'm going with 50.

1. The Lost Symbol ~ Dan Brown

[Chula]

I stopped keeping track last year too, I'm going with 30 this year.

[ComradeM]

I just totally stopped READING last year I couldn't get in to anything... I'm gonna go for 52 this year, I'm still counting full issues of not-smut magazines (lol) and I'm considering counting any academic articles more than like 25 pages, because seriously..sometimes I can get through a book faster than an article. We'll see how it goes.

[just_icarus]

Into it. My goal is 30, counting school books. my fall semester is gonna be busy as shit so i'm not gonna aim for more than that. I'm also gonna go with M's counting-of-academic-articles-as-books. Them things are DENSE! I'm not finished with the first two I'm listening, but I'm currently reading them.

IF ANYONE HAS SUGGESTIONS for books about PRISON, LAW ENFORCEMENT, HEALTH INEQUALITY in terms of race and gender, please let me know!

1. Giles Goat-Boy, by John Barth
2. A Mercy, by Toni Morrison

[hannahell]

I'm gonna set mine low, at 20. Because I maybe read 2 or 3 last year. I really need to start going to the library every few weeks like I used to.

[MooMooMonster]

Yeah, Last year I got too lazy to read.

I've already got some read this year. So, not counting text books, I'd like my goal to be 35.

1. Water for Elephants- Sarah Gruen
2. Jailbird-Kurt Vonnegut

[sickgirliezele]

I'm gonna shoot for 25... I've got to juggle work and school but I definitely need to squeeze in some books to de-stress

[namelesswonder]

I don't remember if I set a goal last year, I'd really like to get to 40 this year since I didn't last year (36ish, so close!).

1. Poison Eaters, by Holly Black

1. Stolen World: A Tale of Reptiles, Smugglers, and Skulduggery by Smith (SUPER AWESOME BY THE WAY)

So I started reading comics recently, and I want to count those but counting 1 as a book is a rip. So I'm going to do like each series, or whatever.

So, so far i've read the Lurkers counts as my first finished

1.The Lurkers
2. Remains
3. The Chronicles of Dr. Herbert West
