Official 2011 Challenge

I received my first reading dare tonight while chatting on Facebook with a friend.

Back in 2009, I wanted to read 100 books for the year. However, due to personal reasons, I gave up at around 56. At the beginning of 2010, I decided to bring back my own personal challenge of reading 100 books within the year. I accomplished the goal, by finishing my 100th book at 9:30pm on New Years' Eve.

For 2011, I wanted to have a similar challenge, but wanted to challenge myself a little more by reading over 100. Unofficially, I had chosen to read 101 books.

As I said, I was talking on Facebook with a friend tonight, talking about books, and he said, "I dare you to read 106 books in 2011." So I took the dare and ran.

There it is, people, my official dare/challenge for 2011.

I'm currently unmotivated in the whole reading arena. I started reading The Historian, but found myself getting bored since it wasn't moving fast enough. I then started with A Clockwork Orange. That, too, I found moving slowly. I think this mainly is due to the fact that I was basically looking up every other word because of the slang.

I'm currently reading Naked Heat, the second companion book to the ABC series Castle. I'm currently half-way through it and I'm hoping to finish it very soon. I definitely do not want repeat the end of last year, where I had to read my last 20 books in 20 days.

So that's everything up to date, I guess.

Back to reading,
