I read while watching TV. Sometimes it's just for background noise.

Welcome! Always nice to meet someone else from Ohio.

What is the 1001 books challenge?

I don't do it, but I am doing the New Books Challenge again this year. Last year I got to 100, so I'm going for 150 this year.

Yes, it is.

I voted for "A Visit from the Goon Squad" because I'm going to have to read it for one of my classes anyway, so this might help.

It does seem like a lot of books, but it is the first poll, so it's a bit experimental.. I also like the second poll suggestion Dexter made, but that might make the process take longer.


Dexter: There are plenty of "young adult" books that are really great reads, even for adults. Granted, there are ...

First votes! Buahahaha! (I actually just happened to log in 5 minutes after this was posted. Spooky.)
