2025 & 2026 Reading Challenge discussion

This is my first time setting myself a book challenge, and it is going well so far. I've read 22 out of the 50, so far and am 12 books ahead of schedule. I'm very confident that I can exceed my challenge of 50 books. Even if I wasn't doing this challenge, I'd be reading a lot anyway, as it is my favourite thing to do.

what are the books you have read so far?? it looks like you will go above 50! you can set your goal for as much or as little as you want.

In January 2014 I read:
-Wide Sargasso Sea,Jean Rhys
-The French Lieutenant's Woman,John Fowles
-If You Could See Me Now,Cecelia Ahern
-Where Rainbows End,Cecelia Ahern
-One Hundred Names,Cecelia Ahern

In February 2014 I read:
-Jacob's Room,Virginia Woolf
-The Little Sister,Raymond Chandler
-The Merchant of Venice,William Shakespeare
-The Shock of the Fall,Nathan Filer
-Disgrace,J.M. Coetzee
-White Noise,Don DeLillo
-A Room of One's Own,Virginia Woolf
-The Body Artist,Don DeLillo
-Pride and Prejudice,Jane Austen
-Riddley Walker,Russell Hoban

In March 2014 I have read so far:
-Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead,Tom Stoppard
-The Wind in the Willows,Kenneth Grahame
-Beloved,Toni Morrison

-Dracula,Bram Stoker
-The Bell Jar,Sylvia Plath
-Where the Wild Things Are,Maurice Sendak

And I have just today started reading Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas,Hunter S. Thompson :



I think I could possibly reach 100 hundred books this year, which I might change my target too, but I'll see how I go!

March 2014 continued:
-Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Hunter S. Thompson
-Animal Farm,George Orwell
-Ariel,Sylvia Plath

At this rate, I worked out I could actually reach 150 books this year.

After reading Ariel and enjoying it, I decided I would read another book of Plath's poem collections:
- Selected Poems

For years, I've had Journals by Kurt Cobain . So I finally decided to read it.

I went on a trip to London, and I found a small bookshop with a sign outside that said all books in the basement were only £1. So I went down there and had a look (I was the only one!) and I found a slim book, and read the description on the back and was immediately interested by the idea.
That book was: Brown by Franck Pavloff

Now I'm dipping in and out of a few books, so haven't completely any since then.
