I've noticed that several folks on my flist have the resolution to read 50 books in the year 2011 and so I was thinking we should make a community so that we can discuss our progress and the awesome books we're reading, etc.

What do the rest of you think?

PS. Please feel free to suggest names.

Well, if you plan to read 50 books this year than I really don't see a reason to keep you out of the group.
You can teach us the wonders of Italian literature. :D

50 are a bit too much for me, but I could come close to it.

Yeah , [livejournal.com profile] jasonsnene is doing this thing too...

I would love to do that but since I am pretty lame and one sided when it comes to the authors I'm reading I won't participate.

But good look :)

Please let her know I started a community for it in case she's interested in getting involved.

I think a community is a pretty good idea. Especially if people rec things to one another because I always have trouble finding new books to read.

As for names, I'd be absolutely no help. :(

I got one started.
It's called [livejournal.com profile] 50ayear.

If you make the comm, I'll participate. I need incentive to read and I'm always up for recs.

The only kind of name I could come up with is something along the lines of 50ayear. That way it could go beyond this year if you wanted it to.

...

Yeah, I lack imagination sometimes.

I totally snagged the name.
Thanks!

Hope you join. :)

It's a great idea. I read a lot of audiobooks though in the car, and might rec those (people can read the regular printed versions if they want to!)

Sounds good!

Sounds like fun! I'd try and participate as much as I can. :)

Love the idea; I was just exclaiming over at my post how we're all trying to read 50!!

How can I help?

There's a great generic LJ layout that just has books on it if I recall correctly so that'd be easy at least to start with.

50ayear is great, and I also like the Lbooksannum, though it might feel less accessible. I like the idea of making it non-year-specific so it can continue if successful.

I started the comm ([livejournal.com profile] 50ayear
Would you like to help by being a maintainer?

One of my goals this year is to read more, but I highly doubt I'll reach 50! Good luck with the community though!

I decided to. I'm always up for recommendations. I may get a few good ones to check out at the local library. =)

I'm game! I read all the time so I'd love to know what everyone else is reading!

Joined & Posted.

Now, a thought for you and the other mods. What if you tagged the entries with the titles and/or authors mentioned? That way they can be searched later on.

Just a thought!

P.S. I can always do the tagging if you want.

That's not a bad idea.

With a dozen people, posting dozens of stories, you can bet it will get full of suggestions quickly! :)

Sounds like a great idea, I'm always on the lookout for book recs.
