How I did it
How to read the Chronicles of Narnia
It took me
1 year
It made me

How I did it: Just read and have fun!Some books I listened to as audiobooks. Both listening and reading have their advantages. With a hard copy book you can look up things you've forgotten and have more of an overview of the story. My verson also had pictures. Listening on the other hand is helpful because you get to know how some unknown words or names are pronounced. The 'voice' of Master Glimfeather sounded really 'owly'in my verson of "The Silver Chair". Read how I did it…

wake up earlier (read all 10 entries…)
I'm doing it 6 months ago

The last four days I’ve been waking up before 7 a.m. Even now when it is weekend (I’m writing this on a sunday) I woke up at six ‘o clock (and got out of bed at seven), without setting the alarm!

Perhaps it helps that I try to go to bed earlier, and try not to take power naps during the day…

Have read 60% of the fiction books I own by the end of 2009 (read all 4 entries…)
Only 40% 10 months ago

:(

Well, I hope in 2009 I have more time to read, and less time to buy new books ;)

watch 150 movies in 2008 (read all 12 entries…)
Didn't make it :( 10 months ago

I’ve ‘only’ seen 139 movies last year. The last two were:

138 Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle
Nice in-between-movie (or how do you say ‘tussendoortje’ in English?)

139 Fight Club
Wow, wonderful movie! I should watch this one again!

Well, at least I’ve seen some really good movies last year, and the nice part is, that now I have another year to start over again with the 150 movie goal!
