50 Book Challenge

I replaced one of my goals to read a book a week from my list of books I want to read with reading 50 books by the end of 2011 since July. Books so far:
  • Run! by Dean Karnazes - easy, interesting read about the Ultramarathon man.
  • 5 dysfunctions of a team by Patrick Lencioni - tells you things you already know.
  • The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery - not sure how I felt about it. I'm still struggling to figure out if maybe I'm one of the serious people and that's why I don't get it.
  • Sisterhood everlasting by Ann Brashares - I weeped without shame over their friendship.
  • Witch and Wizard by James Patterson and Gabrielle Charbonet - I wonder how two people write a book, do they do it in turns?
  • Virals by Kathy Reichs - not up to her usual Temperence Brennan standards.
  • Guilty Pleasures by Laurell K. Hamilton - I stayed up all night reading this and I got really excited about reading the rest of the Anita Blake series. Then I cheated and read the summary on wikipedia and now I think it gets a little too weird for my tastes.
  • One day by David Nicholls - There's romance with some humour and tears. Looking forward to seeing the movie.
  • Through violet eyes by Stephen Woodworth - Quite spooky but an interesting concept.
  • The Kitchen Daughter by Jael McHenry -  an interesting story about Asperger's Syndrome and home cooking.
