At the beginning fo 2009 I decided to take up a book reading challenge. 50 books in 1 year. The challenge was announced by Shelfari (virtual book shelf site) as a response to Steve Jobs letter regarding Kindle. In that letter, CEO of Apple said:
"It doesn't matter how good or bad the product is, the fact is that people don't read anymore... The whole conception is flawed at the top because people don't read anymore."
I don't know if he is right or not. Unimportant.
Since the end of year is near I thought I'd share some results of the book reading challenge/experiment. My result is unfortunately not great. So far, I was able to read only 25 books, so just a half. I don't really feel bad with that score. It's just that I considered myself as a person who reads a lot. Apparently this is not the case.
How many books did you read this year? Please put your score in the comments. In the meantime, you can see my 25 books of 2009. And yes, I used Goodreads to make this shelf, and not Shelfari.
