Yes, a little to late i think, but heck! Lets see how far this goes.
After spending a few months hanging out solo at Goodreads - of course there's my good friend Marie in there too, but then it's just the two of us - I finally joined Goodreads Malaysia, a group of avid reading Malaysians. It feels great having a place to gather and discuss about regional reading matters but the best thing they have is the 2010, 50 books challenge.

Just what I needed to boost my reading enthusiasm.
Do I get any prize for completing the challenge? No. But what I do get is a personal satisfaction that I have completed 50 books and finally, be able to finish reading my ever-growing stack of books - or mourn over the money I have wasted just because I love hoarding stuff.
Here's a simple rule I made for myself: One, the books can be either bought or borrowed from the library or friend. Two, the books can be a printed one or e-book version. Three, books must be read from cover to cover. The ones that I almost finish of with chapters skipped are not eligible to be put on the list.
And, listed below are the books that I have read for the first half of 2010.
2. The One Minute Entrepreneur: The Secret to Creating and Sustaining a Successful Business, Ken Blanchard, Don Hutson, Ethan Willis
3. Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World, Vicki Myron
4. For One More Day, Mitch Albom
5. Diary of a Wimpy Kid,Jeff Kinney
6. Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules, Jeff Kinney
7. Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw, Jeff Kinney
8. The To-Do List, Mike Gayle
9. Wish You Were Here, Mike Gayle
10.The Life and Soul of the Party, Mike Gayle
11.Honk!, If You're Malaysian,Lydia Teh
12. Personal Branding, Colin Wright
