This year, I will be participating in several book blog challenges:
1. 100+ Reading Challenge
2. 451 Challenge
3. Social Justice Challenge
4. The Pub
I feel like I was shortchanged with my education so far in my life and I need to find some way to supplement it. What especially got me down was reading some lists online of books you should read before college. I realized I had no fucking idea what some of the books on the lists were about, and I'm a university student (albeit in the United States). I'm not even a math or business major, but a religious studies and history student!!! I should have read these books YEARS AGO.
Well, these challenges should keep me on my toes and doing something. I'm not too ashamed to admit that I'm one of those people who, without prodding, would be completely happy to lie on the couch and watch Netflix online all day.
So, I put my book list in the side margin. It's pretty ambitious, I know. But, I took the first step today: I went to the library and picked up two books off of my list, at random: The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood and Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami.

Welcome to the 100+ Reading Challenge of 2010. I’m so excited to get this new year underway. I think there are going to be lots of great books published this year.
