Jack (echoicglory) | 32 comments I must be mad - wait, I am mad. That's why I'm doing this. I suppose my sanity is no longer the topic of the day among my friends. But, it shall be once again. With less than 8 months to go for the year 2009, I decided to take on this challenge. It's just to remind myself how much I used to love to read. Not that I love to read any less. I just... I think I might forget if I don't continue reading. So this year, I'm trying to challenge myself to read at least 100 books. I'm already participating in another challenge. But, this will be a separate challange. No books posted in the other challenge would be added to this list vice versa.

I wanted to see whether I can read as much as I used to when I was younger - well, I'm still young, but yeah... lol...

Feel free to help me out and suggest any titles you can think of that I might consider reading (and I usually ended up reading 'em). I'll add the challenges as I go.

Jack (echoicglory) | 32 comments I'm really slow...

Jack (echoicglory) | 32 comments Seeing I've somehow gotten myself sick and got some days off from the doc. I guess I'm adding more to my May reading list. Being sick sucks, but at least I could still read - even when I prefer being able to breathe properly over reading... I can't complain. All I gotta do now is sit still for a few days and read a few good books. Sounds just perfect...

El Luc Besson? As in the director of The Fifth Element and The Professional?? I didn't realize he wrote books as well.

Hope you feel better soon!


message 6: by Jack (new)

Jack (echoicglory) | 32 comments Yup, he wrote more than just a couple of books I think. I believe it was in French and then translated in English - I could be wrong lol... I didn't look it up and I've read it in the newspaper a long time ago, seeing I've never been good remembering, I suppose, it could be inaccurate.
