Here we go again. It's 2015 and time to reset the book reading challenge. Let's all try to read one book a week this year, but if that's too much just list whatever you read because reading is fun. Also, try to rate the books you finish from 1 to 10 so other people can see what might be a good book to pick up.

1) Currently Reading - Sand: Omnibus (Sand 1-5) - Hugh Howey

I'll be happy to describe/discuss any book I've read if anyone is curious.

I don't have time to read, but I listen to audio books at work. Does that count?

First post, I read these forums a lot but never registered until now. I started the 52 book challenge at the start of the year. I'm not a big reader so I haven't chosen many long books yet. I just finished reading Anthem by Ayn Rand and it was pretty good.

1) Swing your Sword - Mike Leach
2) The Old Man and the Sea - Ernest Hemingway
3) Animal Farm - George Orwell
4) The Invisible Man - H.G. Wells
5) The Time Machine - H.G. Wells
6) The Hound of the Baskervilles - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
7) The Island of Dr. Moreau - H.G. Wells
8) Eight Tales of Terror - Edgar Allan Poe
9) Fahrenheit 451 - Ray Bradbury
10) Anthem - Ayn Rand

Yeah, I like the classics for sure. But I am open to reading more modern stuff. Like I said, I haven't been a big reader the last few years so I'm trying a few authors out. I may check out some of the books on your list. Any recommendations?

I've been really busy this year and haven't read nearly as much as I'd like but so far it's been:

The Crack in Space - Philip K Dick 7/10
A Scanner Darkly - Philip K Dick 8/10
The Falls - Joyce Carol Oates (about 75% through)

I just bought several books as well as kind of earmarked a few books in our library that my wife has read that I have not yet. So this pool will probably make up my next several books at least:

I'll Give You The Sun - Jandy Nelson
The Sky is Everywhere - Jandy Nelson
Talking to Girls About Duran Duran - Rob Sheffield
Play It as It Lays - Joan Didion
Slouching Towardd Bethlehem - Joan Didion
Franny & Zooey - J.D. Salinger
It's Kind of a Funny Story - Ned Vizzini
How to Build a Girl - Caitlin Moran

Finished The Falls

1) The Crack in Space - Philip K Dick 7/10
2) A Scanner Darkly - Philip K Dick 8/10
3) The Falls - Joyce Carol Oates 8/10 - It was super well-written and the concept (and often the execution) of the place/location being a central character in the story was interesting. During the 2nd half of the book though, there were times where I wasn't sure whether I liked or disliked how much it jumped around and back and forth between timelines and POV characters.

4) Currently reading: Franny & Zooey - J.D. Salinger
