50 books in 2005.

Traced back to here.

The goal: Read 50 books in 2004.

The prize: A feeling of true literary esteem.

The bonus: Record the books here, and let us know what you thought of them. This way we're all receiving recommendations for reading in later months!

The books can be of any genre, but let's keep the length over 100 pages. (In other words, short stories wouldn't count, but an anthology of them is lovely.)

Encourage everyone you know to get involved! Who's in? And what's your first pick?
