leelerbaby going for 100 in 2008

I think I'll try for 100 this year. Last year I only read 86. I think I can make it if I read at least 8 and half books a month. It shouldn't be hard to do since I am trying to read books listed on 1001 books you must read before you die and Oprah's book club. I keep track of books I've read on list of bests website. I welcome all comments and reading suggestions, wish me luck.

So far for the month of January I'm right on track.
1.A Virtuos Woman by Kaye Gibbons
2.Less than Zero by Bret Easton Ellis
3.Colorado Kid by Stephen King
4.American Gods by Neil Gaiman
5.In the Dark of the Night by John Saul
6.Scarlett Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne
7.Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister by Gregory Maguire
8.The Devil and Miss Prym by Paulo Coelho
9.The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde

Finished today..
10.The Story of Lucy Gault by William Trevor

11.Drums of Autumn by Diana Gabaldon
One of my favorite authors, and my favorite series of books. I love this series, it has everything. You get so caught up in the story and it's hard to put the book down.

I love the Outlander series. Last year when I read them for the first time it only took me a month because they are so addicting. Have you read any of the Lord John books? I've been thinking about trying the first one, but have heard mixed reviews.

I have one of Lord John books. Will probably read them also, but I have heard they are a let down after reading the Outlander series. I enjoy them so much. I wish they would make it into a movie it would be awesome.

Finished reading today...
12.Girl Interrupted by Susanna Kaysen

13. Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton

14. Blood and Guts in High School by Kathy Acker
Want a waste of precious reading time, can't believe I actually forced myself to read this trying to give it the benefit of the doubt.

15.Atonement by Ian McEwan
Great book, heard movie was not as good and kind of confusing unless you read the book first. I choose to always read the book first before I see any movie. The movie is always such a disappointment.

I agree with you on reading the book first, though lately I'm having a hard time keeping track! It seems like every time I see a movie or see a preview, the next thing I know, I found out it Was a novel--I'd just never heard about it. I went to see the movie before finding out that either Feast of Love or The Martian Child were books first, though I found out about The Other Boleyn Girl and P.S. I love you pretty early on. I guess I'll just have to start looking everything up...

16.Animal Farm by George Orwell fast and interesting read.

17. The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
This was awesome, I thought it would be hard to follow but it all come together prefectly. This is the second month still on track.

18. The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro found it kinda long winded.
19. 7th Heaven by James Patterson Patterson has done it again, i love this series.

20.The House of Whacks by Matthew Braton

21. Amsterdam by Ian Mcewan ironic ending great read.

Although, Atonement was a pretty fantastic movie. Coming from one who hasn't read the book yet!
