My attempt at the 2009 100+ Reading Challenge starts here.

I admit - I don’t have a list of resolutions this year. However, I came across someone’s blog just recently and decided to have a go at this reading challenge.
A hundred books? That’s a long way to go. It’s nearly March now and so far, I’m only on my fourth book. Which is why I think having an attempt at this will get my molecules colliding.
When I was fourteen, I had a reading rate of about five books per month. It’s a shame that I barely have any time now to drop by the local library ang get a handful of reads. I hope this challenge works out well. I’m pretty sure that working my way up to a hundred will make me a better person, if not wiser, by the end of 2009.
The 100+ Reading Challenge is hosted at J. Kaye’s Book Blog. The mechanics are pretty simple. All you have to do is sign up for it and get reading. Keep a list of the books you are reading. Blogging about how well you are doing or how interesting you find a particular book is also a good way of keeping you motivated as well as letting you keep track of what you have read.
If you don’t reach the mark, that’s okay - trying is what’s important (and simply enjoying the sinking of words into your system, of course). I’m not saying that I’m definitely going to be able to read a hundred or more books this year but I’m pretty much up for the challenge
Please visit J. Kaye’s Book Blog if this entry gave your heartstring a tug at some point, sign up (it’s free and doesn’t take more than two seconds) and unleash the bookaholic in you. Have fun! :]
I will be updating this entry as I go along with the challenge. This will serve as my reading list. ^_^ I might put up a scroll box or something on my sidebar later on to list the titles. I will also be posting up my reviews on the books that I have read this year.
To be continued…
@Nightdreamer: I don’t think I’ll be able to read up to a hundred - but I think it’s good to have an aim at least. I might read just up to a half but I don’t really mind if I won’t be able to read as much this year.
A lot of people have said that Digital Fortress isn’t too good. I’d like to give it a go, though. Sayang naman yung binili kong libro kung hindi ko babasahin :] But thanks for sharing your opinion :] I appreciate your comment.

but I’d probably be broke by the end of the year.
@sinnombre: I don’t really splurge on books that much. I get them as presents or from the library ^_^

Hey, I like your courage for taking up the read-hundred-books challenge. I would’ve loved to partake on it myself, except I couldn’t accomplish the 52 I told myself to read last year.
And I read some of the books on your list. Bridge to Terabithia is great, but you should avoid Digital Fortress. I consider it as one of the worst books I’ve ever read, and it does nothing to distinguish itself even from the author’s other works.
Good luck!
