Decided to participate in the 100 Book Challenge, where the goal is to read 100 books or more by the end of 2012. It’s April, and I’m wondering if I’m allowed to count the books I read from January to March… I’m just going to go ahead and assume I am. If anyone has objections to that or book suggestions, feel free to reply or send a message. I love getting mail.

Yes, I do realize at the pace I’m going, I’m probably not going to make it.
I’ll have to read a little faster… either that, or pick some skinnier books.
