50 Books in 2012



I Read 50 books in 2012, Yes baby, FIFTY. And thanks to Goodreads.com, I have been able to keep track of it.

I took upon the challenge in July, so I was trailing by a big margin. actually huge is the word. But somehow I made it. I must be thanking good reads for rekindling my love for the dusty pages. :)

You must all try The good reads challenge. It would do you a ton of good.

So there goes the list of the fifty books I so voraciously consumed.





Rupertt's bookshelf: read

The Casual Vacancy
The Communist Manifesto
رباعيات خيام
House of Many Ways
Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There
Letter from Peking
Winnie-the-Pooh
Here on Earth
The Shadow Lines
The Company Of Women
The Glass Menagerie
Pride and Prejudice
The Bankster
Little Women
The Mysterious Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
Loving Each Other
The Lady With the Little Dog and Other Stories, 1896-1904

    1. I understand your inclination, Princess. But still come on, you should give the idiot in the box a rest.

      Goodreads will help trust me, If you like a challenge there you go.

      50 next year? I challenge you. :)

  4. Hi RW,

    Quite a list you've created here. It will take some time to get through this list but I guess it's a commitment :p
    Hmm...yes, even I would like to read The Art of War. I'll update once I'm done with that. :)

    Regards

  12. Oh wow amazing!!! I had also made a goal of 50 books this year on good reads but i am going to woefully fall short of my goal because throughout the year I read very few books!!! My last year's goal of reading 30 books was fulfilled though.
    Congrats to you for finishing your 50 book challenge! :)
