Fifty Books a Year! How Queer!

Remember the Fifty Books Challenge? Well, I'm doing it again this year! Last year I got to 51 (damn pesky library due dates) which is a lot less than I thought I'd get, but I'm still pleased and the Challenge helped me actually finish the books, something I tend not to do if I get annoyed with the author (which, to those that followed me last year, I did on several occasions). You should always finish a book-- otherwise, why start? But anyway.

SO! Inspired by [livejournal.com profile] 50bookchallenge and last year's books, I plunge forward into the new decade reading (which is an interesting way to plunge, really).

I think I mentioned that I wanted to do this challenge last year, but school provided me more than enough reading. Unfortunately this year it will be just the same. But kudos (and something far more formal and fitting) for completing the challenge!

Why do I think if I was in formal schooling I would count the books I read there? If for nothing else other than to "thumbs down" them in the review.

Your kudos is kindly taken.

Most of my books (at least the history ones) are interesting, but I usually don't finish reading the textbooks ones until the end of the semester, and the books I have to read for a discussion paper... well, I have to write a discussion paper on it. And I'm considerable more dry in my papers than in my non-scholarly (aka everything else) writing.

Or some such excuse.
