I'm making my way through the list. As for quality v. quantity, there is no requirement that you have to read a book each week, it just so happens that you must read 52 books and there are 52 weeks in a year. Spend two days reading your Stephen King, and then spend two weeks reading your Dostoyevsky, and then read a couple more short books to catch back up. There aren't any rules about making sure you have a review up each week.

Maybe I should revise my assumption; it won't just be members of my immedeate family reading this...<br /><br />As for the Quality/Quantity remark, I think the pressure to read at a book per week rate will steer me away from dusting off classics like Hugo or Dostoyevsky. The better the book the slower I tend to read it- so while I can easily knock off a Steven King or Dennis Lehane in a week, it creates an incentive to avoid higher quality/ more challenging stuff.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7167556969873330623.post-36654689081308586602009-10-17T19:53:40.598-04:002009-10-17T19:53:40.598-04:00But, ha-HA!

I look ...But, ha-HA! Someone IS paying attention. <br /><br />I look forward to your reviews and plan to take inspiration from what others read. WHOO! It is ON, ya'll (and yes, I know exactly where that apostrophe is. As you said, it's the internet-not only is there no grammar, there's no punctuation, either. Wait 'til you see my blatant abuse of the semi-colon! Muah ah ha!). <br /><br />Also, re: quantity vs. quality, who says it can't be both? Surely you can find 52 books of quality as easily as just finding 52 books.Anna von Beaverplatzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00767645998031679957noreply@blogger.com
