read 50 books in 2008 (read all 5 entries…)
trudging along 23 months ago

I’ve finished 4 books since January 1st. I’m currently in the middle of several, and while it sometimes feels like a failure (as the projected pace would be, if there were 52 weeks in a year, a book and then some a week), I’ve come to terms with this “failure” and have realized that what it really is is a small victory. It is a victory because I have not read this much since I began to discover my love for words.

As much as I don’t think I can catch up to the 50, there is still enough time (ten-and-a-half months is ten-and-a-half months) to read as much as I can, and I’ll be resolute with that simple goal.

(I’m still hoping for a fifty. For those of whom are going strong, cheers to all of you, as I’ve none left at the moment.)

You are doing great! I started this last year and as long as I did about 4 a month, I was good. I just made the 50, but summer and other breaks were for catching up. I’m slowing down this year with more challenging books, but hope to catch up! I’m only on my fourth.

Feeling Hopeful wonders why the titles of many of my entries lately have been numbers.

Hang in there

I’m working on book #4 myself.

Also, I did this last year and made it to 52 or 53. Great times to catch up are vacations or anytime you have to sit for a long time, like on airplanes or waiting for appointments. I also read while I eat lunch sometimes.

Even if you don’t make 50, I bet you’ll come close since you’re trying to read as much as you can.

I’m also trying to get as close to 50 as possible even if I don’t make it.
