oh too many to choose from, but the ones I can read over and over would be the Harry Potter series, and most of David Eddings ones :)

Umm... I don't have an exact count but estimating @ 1 library visit per week and a minumum of 5 books per visit + buying maybe a book a month + plus books for classes - I would say at least 230. Probably a low estimate.

22 books is still good. I have read two more since I posted this. I've started to read Lolita. Have your read that one? I also have "For Whom The Bell Tolls" in my pile. It will be my first full length Hemmingway.

Sadly I haven't read more than 1 or 2 for my own enjoyment this year but then, I have a 5 year old son who is in the process of learning to read and I spend a lot of time readig his books with him...we average 80-100 books for him each month.

That is wonderful! It's so important to foster a love of reading in young people in an age when they'd rather play video games. Keep up the good work.

That's interesting. You must be pretty smart after reading Encyclopedias.

I'm working on "Oedipus at Colonus" now to finish up the Theban tragedies. I'm also reading "The Te of Piglet" and "Generation X" by Douglas Coupland. Sadly I will probably resort to reading the rest of "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" series as they are all about 200 pages. I will meet my goal if it kills me! It's just that I have to squeeze it in where I can with work and school. Next year my focus will be reading more of the Classics.
