The rules are the same as last year! (click here for more details)
You have a year to read 100 books. Add replies with what you have read and possibly a little description to tell your fellow Nerdfighters a little bit about them.
Good luck and get reading!

Permalink Reply by Healy on April 3, 2012 at 4:46pm Yes, it was great. It definitely requires some patience, because of its length and because of the immense amount of allusion going on, but the characters are fascinating and the ending is so immensely satisfying.
Permalink Reply by Healy on April 3, 2012 at 5:35pm I haven't, although it's definitely on my "to read" list. I've barely read any Terry Pratchett, and that needs to be remedied!

I had some expectations since I'd already seen the movie but it was pretty good. Think I'll eventually read more of the Vampire Chronicles
