95? Books

This post was written by Mike

Apparently the Interwebs are a flutter that George Bush read 95 books in 2006 as a contest between him and Karl Rove. Many believe that if “W” could do it then so could they and have started their own comptetition over at tumblr.

I don’t really have a stake in trying to one-up a president but I do feel like seeing how many books I read over the course of a year and I could really use some help getting back into the habit of writing more so I will start by recording everything I’ve read this past week with a few rules:

1. I have to read it in book form. This will hopefully get me away from the bloody computer. I may change this rule later on if I get on another old fashioned sci-fi kick via Project Gutenberg as I did a year or so ago.
2. I will keep track of books I have previously enjoyed and have decided to read again (see most of the paperback novels in the house)
3. I will definitely include fluff reading. This may come as a shock to some but my not-really secret indulgence is romanticish urban fantasy (more because trying to find urban fantasy without romance limits you to about four books and because the relationships are funnier than most)

I hope you enjoy.

I hope I can keep up.
