50 Book Challenge - Page 2

What's in it for me?

You get to learn. I recommend this book for one of your 50...

"What a scholar one might be if one knew well only some half a dozen books."
-Flaubert

I'm in. Maybe.

Enlightenment. Eye strain.

I'm willing to try. But I don't know if I could make it. Do books on tape count?

This is probably exactly what I need to break my string of binge drinking.

The last four months I decided to start reading authors that I share a birthday with. Some people get Richard Scary, I share a birthday with James Joyce and Ayn Rand. Trying to burn through Atlas Shrugged right now and I'm loving it. Perfect for where I am in life right now.

I'm down for this challenge. I usually finish a book after 3 days, reading on and off on the train.

Sounds good. Like DakotaRube, I also have no life and read voraciously. I have probably read 7 books this month already and will likely finish Aurelius' Meditations tonight with a bit of bourbon.

But how will this be different than the dedicated "what are you reading" thread?

I DID read Phil Jackson's book about how Kobe knifed him in the back.


I already am enlightened.

To accomplish this I would have to virtually give up Style Forum.

Let's try to keep it library friendly. I can't afford 50 books.

I might take a shot. I'm a 2L and have a family so it will be a bit of a stretch. I read so damn much for school it's hard to read in my down time as well.
I say no hard and fast limits, literature is like porn, I know it when I see it.

My first book will be a collection of short stories by Beryl Markham that I started this morning.

I'm up for the challenge
