Sunday Salon: I Will Conquer


I put a visual post up about challenges here.  Now it's time to start getting down to the fun part: coming up with book lists for my insanity.  I love creating book lists; researching and choosing books to read is part of the fun for me, even if I don't end up reading what I initially put on my lists - it's very rare that I actually stick to a plan.  I'm too spontaneous for that.

The only problem I foresee: It's not even December yet, and I'm already piling on the 2010 challenges.  But I have faith that I will conquer Mt. Challenges.


Currently Reading
Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut:  I'm absolutely loving it.  I started it yesterday, and I guarantee I'll finish it today. The characters in this novel are proving to be infinitely interesting, and the 'religious aspects' of Bokononism are oddly appealing...even the foot part...

Now wait, the beginning of this post suggested some lists didn't it?  All that talk about creating lists and the such not.  Well, I'm posting my reading challenges list in a Google Doc to share with everyone; unfortunately I'm not quite done yet, so link coming soon.

If you have suggestions for books for these challenges or for other challenges, let me know.

  1. Quite a lot of challenges you have going on. I just signed up for the 2010 challenge and the YA fiction challenge. I need to start getting my list together for the GLBT challenge!

  2. Lola - I'm still working on my lists. I could probably work on my lists for months and still not want to follow them later though, which worries me since some of them require you to stick to your lists.

  3. You make me want to read Cat's Cradle again! You have some wonderful challenges. I myself can only rarely stick to a reading plan - too many different other books come to my attention!

  4. Ah, well that's not TOO long of a challenge list, especially since a lot don't begin until January.

  6. Rhapsody - I really enjoyed Cat's Cradle, and I can't believe I put it off for so very long!

    Amanda - After roaming the blogosphere, I realized that many many bloggers are signed up for way more than I am.

    Gavin - I thought so too, but it seems I'm still not signed up for near the amount of many others. You have a great week too!
