The 50 Book Challenge: The End of the 2008 Challenge Approaches!

If you're unfamiliar with the 50 book challenge: it's basically a challenge to read 50 books in the span of a year. This thread is for keeping track of the books that you've read so far this year. You don't have to be trying for 50 books to post on the thread; if that goal is too high or too low (or you want to try the challenge for less than a year), you can set your own goal or set a different type of goal, like a goal for the number of pages you want to read. What you choose to include toward you goal is also up to you: you can include re-reads, books for classes, graphic novels and/or manga, etc. depending on what feels right to you. If you have any reading goals at all, you're welcome to come record your progress here. So come on in and join the fun!

ETA: The previous thread can be found at The 50 Book Challenge: From Jane Austen to Jane Green.

If I could ever get the chance to finish the three books I'm reading now, I'd be much closer to my goal. I'm working on a 25,000 page goal instead of a 50 book goal for this year. But, yeah, I'd better get on it, lol.
