2010
The 100 books challenge.
I first posted this blog on Myspace, with a simple aim, to read 100 books by December 31st 2010. In hindsight, starting in March wasted valuable reading time and perhaps more importantly, 100 is wildly ambitious amount (for me at least), but I'll continue to read and see how close to the magic number I get, updating here as I go along.
