I have recently put together a list of 50 Books that I would like to read. My list was taken from two or three sources of "50 books to read before you die" or "Top 50 Books of all time" and the edited together. When editing the list I threw out books that I have read and remember. This of course includes all of the Harry Potter Series. These reads should all be like new reads to me. I know the list includes many adaptations into film, but everyone knows "the book was way better."
The Goal: Read 50 books, Write 50 Blogs.
The Rules: I will post one blog after completing each book.
The Why: As I mentioned, I have never been a reader. I faked my way through literature classes in high school and pieced together what I needed to for my college literature credit. I always wanted to read the assignment, but didn't for one reason or another. I want to give myself the chance to set a personal goal and do it for real, this is for me. I'm tired of faking it, so here goes.
