    Re: Fifty book challenge 2008

    I'll start this with best of intentions, but I don't see myself managing 50 this year, if for no other reason than I have a couple of 1000-page efforts waiting to be read.

    1. Confessions of an Economic Hit Man - John Perkins
    2. Neverwhere - Neil Gaiman

    I'll give this a bash. It might give me some motivation, I've got seriously lazy with books recently. So far,

    Re: Fifty book challenge 2008

    I also forgot about last years thread and only kept a tally of 17 or so books...i think, so i'll make an extra effort to keep track in this one.

    1. H. G. Wells - The Invisible Man
    2. Arthur Machen - The Three Imposters
    3. Tom Robbins - Even Cowgirls Get The Blues


    I bought a stack of Henry Miller books recently so i'll get through those in the next couple of weeks.
