    Personal Reading Record

    I read a total of 52 books in 2010 which is a personal best! I set a goal of 50 as a New Year's resolution and made it.:eek: The average length of each book was 323 pages which meant I averaged 46 pages per day. Even more impressive was that I finished every book I started. Still not sure...

    Have you read Kraken? If so, how many stars would you give it? I read it last year and gave it 4 stars. It was a bit odd but he is a talented author, no doubt.

    Litany's Genre Swap v 1.0

    I know what you mean... I sent a recommendation to brk_3. I enjoy recommending books to people so I don't mind. Hope you don't mind either! Just trying to make it that we all get a recommendation (even though we all had to recommend twice).

    A critique of Oprah's book club

    I own quite a few of her selections. Here's my 2 cents: there is not enough book related discussions on TV. Anything that encourages reading should be applauded. Nuff said. Short but I only promised 2 cents worth ;)
