'In the case of good books,
the point is not how many
of them you can get through,
but rather how many can
get through to you.'
Mortimer Adler
My 2011 Reading Challenge was successful, maybe a little too successful. I literally got lost between all the pages and almost forgot my other spare time activities. This year should be a little different, more balanced.
Like last year I head for 52 book. Plus I want to borrow another of Dolly's wonderful ideas (who got it from Shelleyrae). The goal is to read at least one book in the 12 following genres:
- Literary Fiction
- Crime/Mystery Fiction
- Romantic Fiction
- Historical Fiction
- Young Adult
- Fantasy
- Science Fiction
- Non Fiction
- Horror
- Thriller / Suspense
- Classic
- Your favourite genre

Hi
Glad you have joined me in the Eclectic Reader Challenge. I look forward to seeing what you choose to read!
Shelleyrae @ Book'd Out
@Shelleyrae: I'm curious myself what books will cross my way in the upcoming year! :-)
Anne Frank's Diary - that's on my re-read list. I love that book, and I've seen the BBC series a couple of times too.
@Dolly: It's difficult to describe, but the older I get and the more often I read the book the more I can read out of it, it means more to me!
Well, I should ask in my video library if they have any edition!
