interesting that you started both 2008 & 2009 with books by J.K. Rowling

LOL, I did not even notice that.
I'm already falling behind, works been busy. At least I have 10 1/2 months to get back on track :op

lionel said...

comic books are not books. you are cheating and so your list fails.

Slayermel said...

First of all I will disagree with you, Graphic Novels are a very important part of literature, and even though they are not for everyone they have gotten many people to read that normally would not pick up a book, especially young men.

Second how can one fail at their own list, they are my goals set with my standards and rules.

So really your comment is inconsequential. Which brings me to wonder what has got you all riled up that you feel you need to be so negative. Try a smile :0) If you don't like my list, don't read it. Simple as that!
