From www.shelfari.comwww.shelfari.com/groups/10773/about?ec=7D8A024B97FS18202Same rules apply, only start a post and just keep editing it. I'm going to double post after this just to start mine and keep it seperate from the instructions. Hopefully, with our huge forum, we can make an impact and maybe email our results to top Amazon executives if that sounds like a good idea to everyone. I know for a fact that we can do this. So let's go and prove Steve Jobs wrong!

I'll plan to have 50 books read by January 1st, 2009, so that gives me a few days for each book. No moar video games for a while. P.S. Robert Fagles is a pretentious, arrogant, cheap son-of-a-magee.

So, we have until 3rd October, 2009? I mean, I've been reading tons of books this year -- but I've been doing a lot of read 3/4's of the way, and start another. I have piles of books I'm reading at the moment.
