Young Writers Society

I have this goal of profiling 100 books by the end of the year. Profiling is sort of like reviewing in my book. I wanted to compile a list of books for this, and I thought it would be cool if I profiled books you guys are interested in. So, list some or one book you'd like me to profile, and I'll get to it.

Cal.

(Did I even put this in right forum thingie?)

lol this almost reminds me of my reading goal.

I want to read 100 books this year, and I'm using my book blog to keep track of this. So far, I'm slow, with only eight books in. I also said I'd review them as I finished them, but my reviews are turning more into praises or complaints in very compact form. I bet you'll beat me in reading 100 books by the end of the year. Of course I'm forgetting I have three months of nothing, aren't I?

I won't suggest any books, I'm pretty sure we've read along the same lines

I wouldn't mind anything by Philip k Dick, Gwyneth Jones and Alan Furst =]

Haha, I did this my senior year so I could go back through and refresh my memory on the 40 books I read between the start of school in september and the AP English test in March. It works!


I say do some classics....maybe some Jane Austen, maybe a little Dante (just The Inferno though, I'm not a fan of the others), a little Homer if you are brave , match Catcher in the Rye since that seems to be a popular 'young adult' novel, anything by Laurie Halse Anderson is popular as well.

I want to read at least 15 new books a month. So far?

January: 8 books
February: 20 books, including Moby Dick
March: ....BLEAGH!

I have something of a list now.
