How to read 100 books
It made me
smarter
 "Reading 100 books is just something that takes time and a little persistence."
How I did it: I read all the time, so it was just a matter of time before I got this far. There's no real trick to it, it just takes dedication, and alot of books! (or access to a library) Resources: Used bookstores that sell paperbacks for twenty-five or fifty cents. Oh yeah.

Escape reality
How I did it: As an avid reader and a self-made recluse, I read an average of 3 - 6 books every month. Glad my partner also enjoys reading or we'd have a problem as I'm often found doing day to day tasks with a book in hand. Read how I did it…

and have been all my life, so this will just be a way of recording books that I’d be reading anyway. I probably have in excess of 500 books in my house at the moment.

"Let The Right One In", John Ajvide Lindqvist
2 weeks ago
This has become one of my favourite books.
In the midst of Twilight and a sea of other terrible vampire series, a far darker and more traditional tale stands out gloriously. Well, somewhat more traditional—in that this is not a sappy, emo, teenage heartthrob but a good and gory old-school folktale vampire. It actually managed to horrify me in a couple of places, and I haven’t been properly horrified in a long, long time.
Well plotted, well paced. The writing is clear and evocative and the characters are strong. Lindqvist does a remarkable job capturing not just the voice and thoughts of a 12 year old, but of the awkward angry bullied 12 year old so many of us were. The style reminds me of Stephen King’s earliest work.
Have not seen the movie yet. Loved this book so much I am very afraid to see the movie ruin it.
