I'm on about 40 which is on schedule for my usual 80-90 a year. I'd love to get to 100 - maybe when I retire. I have kept a list for three years now and really like doing so. I review them on my Bookcrossing shelf so can always look up on there what I thought. BTW the total includes about 5 audiobooks which I listen too whilst ironing, walking to work, on the bus etc. Always have a book with me and read a few paragraphs whenever I get the chance.

35. Would have been 65 before I had dd and stopped having enough time to read as much as I liked. Bah.

Actually I think it's My Life As A Bitch - which says a lot about the shock value he's aiming for!

Doing It deffo not good! Junk has dated badly. DD was totally freaked by Sara's Face but I thought it was clever. My Life As A Dog was too much, even for me.

Janeite, I read Sara's Face and found it gripping and thought-provoking. But I found Doing it () utterly tedious! I guess I'm not the key demographic.

Me too!

It the one thing I am really really good at!

Only 20, but I haven't counted all my re-reads, which probably makes it more like 25. I was really pleased with that - 75, goodness!

I am enjoying keeping a list though, it's really helpful

about 75. maybe more.

<<oh god get a life>>

Not read that Rosin but thanks for the link.

What were your decisions about Burgess? I think he is rather hit and miss and sometimes rather 'out there' just for the sake of shock than for literary merit. I have just taken the decision to order some copies of 'Bloodsong' and 'Bloodtide' for independent readers in school though. DD1 didn't really get on with him.
