Andreas | 164 comments Voting on the list counts automatically. That's good! It says 34 for me and lots on TBR bookshelf :)


message 103: by Tim (new)

Tim Inak (timinak) | 3 comments new to this group. 31 definites. a few more that I think I remember from long ago, but if I can't remember them I guess I need to read them again.


message 104: by Penny (new)

Penny (penne) | 748 comments I'm up to 32 now. Only 4 and a bit months to get to my goal of 50 by years end. Seems somewhat unlikely at this point, but I'm keeping hope alive!


message 105: by Kurt (new)

Kurt Rocourt (krocourt) | 17 comments I have read 13 so far and am currently reading last months club pick. I have another 6 to read later.


message 106: by Jonathan (new)

Jonathan | 20 comments I've read 30 of them. I just joined, so apparently that means our interests in books line up fairly well!


message 107: by Valerie (new)

Valerie (darthval) | 781 comments Just joined the group. I've read 15 of the books, but many are on my TBR shelf, and I actually own several, but have not had a chance yet to read them.


message 108: by Melinda (new)

Melinda Brasher | 78 comments Eek! I've only read 17 of them. I'm new, but I need to get cracking.


message 109: by A.L. (new)

A.L. Butcher (alb2012) | 76 comments About 12 but lots on TBR and lots of Sci-fi/fantasy not on this list.


message 110: by Ben (new)

Ben Rowe (benwickens) I have read over 50 of them - quite a few more are on my tbr list too.


message 111: by Text (new)

Text Addict (textaddict) | 29 comments Just joined, but I've already 59 of the books (including a small number that I didn't finish).


message 112: by Bokeshi (new)

Bokeshi | 4 comments Read 44 of them, many more on TBR list.


message 113: by Kyra (new)

Kyra Halland (kyrahalland) | 137 comments I've only read 21. A few on my TBR. I'm not really into science fiction, and also not so interested in more old-school fantasy. I'm very definite in my likes and dislikes!


message 114: by Bill (new)

Bill Jajic (burnabybill) | 5 comments I have read 80 of the 147 on the list. There are a few more I'd like to read.


message 115: by Ashley (new)

Ashley Just checked out the list. I've only read 6 so far. lol.


message 116: by Andreas (new)

Andreas | 164 comments 3 months since my last status. Book count on the list went up to 147, but my read count as well. It says 46.


message 117: by Alex (new)

Alex Shrugged (alex_shrugged) | 11 comments 32 books on the list read. I've seen several on the list that I haven't got to yet but I have the books. I might get to them before the year is out.


message 118: by Rollie (new)

Rollie Reid | 8 comments It looks like 47. Of course, like all the rest of you, I have lots more I would add to any list of good SciFi and Fantasy. Heck, I think I may have read 47 books by Robert Heinlein. He was my first real introduction to science Fiction. I think I was 14, and that was nearly 40 years ago.

Since I just joined the group, it will be a little while before I have very many added since I joined.


message 119: by Kim (new)

Kim | 1499 comments Now at 123/151. Slowly closing the gap.


message 120: by Marco (new)

Marco Hi everyone, I'm a new member of the group. I hope you'll enjoy my company from here on out!

As of now I have read only 13 books in the group's bookshelf, but I noticed several others that were already in my "to read" list. I can't wait to find out how they are!

Brave New World - I Am Legend - The Princess Bride - Frankenstein - Watership Down - World War Z - Farenheit 451 - The Time Machine - The War of the Worlds - The Martian Chronicles - The Gunslinger - Dune - Slaughterhouse Five.


message 122: by Kitty G Books (new)

Richard (thinkingbluecountingtwo) | 447 comments Checking out the bookclub list while thinking about the 2014 challenge.

Now up to 69
...dude.

Still not counting that dreadful Dr Who book we attempted as a group.
Unfortunately we keep adding books faster than I can read them.

(Sorry about the Bill and Ted reference)


message 129: by Sadie (new)

Sadie Forsythe | 47 comments a sad little 28 for me, but lots of them are on my TBR list.


message 130: by Karina (new)

Karina (karinargh) | 6 comments I've read 72 of the books on the list, though none of them in a book club context. (I saw a few books listed twice on there, by the way!)


message 131: by Scott (new)

Scott (thekeeblertree) | 210 comments 13 so far ... hoping to add many in 2014


message 132: by Valerie (new)

Valerie (darthval) | 781 comments I've read 19. Many are on my TBR list. In fact, I actually own several of them and just have not gotten around to reading them yet. (Darn those bargain bins and Kindle Daily Deals!)


message 133: by A.L. (new)

A.L. Butcher (alb2012) | 76 comments I'm doing a course on Sci-fi and Fantasy this year so that will add a few more to my reading list. I have added a few more for this year and signed up to the challenge:)


message 134: by Sirius (new)

Sirius Seyven (siriuss7) | 1 comments I have read 29, mostly fantasy. And took up challenge for atleast 25 more for this year.


message 135: by MK (new)

MK (wisny) | 480 comments I've read 10, or 12, depending on if I count The Graveyard, by Gaiman (which I'll finish today or tomorrow), and Grimm' s Fairytales, many of which I read as a kid (maybe all, not sure).

Are there discussion threads for all the past books? I tried to find one for The Graveyard, but was unsuccessful. Book is def cute, but just a wee bit too young in its target audience, perhaps, to keep my mind fixed on the tale :-p.


message 136: by Penny (new)

Penny (penne) | 748 comments MK wrote: "Are there discussion threads for all the past books? I tried to find one for The Graveyard, but was unsuccessful. "

Yes there are. A group can only have 100 folders at a time, so we have to move discussions into one big folder for each year as time goes on. Since the group read The Graveyard Book in 2009, the place to look for the discussion threads about it is the Group Reads Discussions 2009 folder near the bottom of our discussions folders. The thread you sound most interested in reading is probably The Graveyard Book -- Strictly YA or more? but there are also other threads if you hunt around in the massive folder.

I expect there might be more discussion of previously read books now that we're running a challenge to read as many of the books on our bookshelf as you can! I'll be sure to let you know if this one comes up.


message 137: by MK (new)

MK (wisny) | 480 comments Thx, Penny!

btw, I changed my mind on the wee bit too young. The later chapters were not! (chapter so long they were each almost short stories :) )


message 138: by [deleted user] (new)

25 so far, just joined.


message 139: by Rollie (new)

Rollie Reid | 8 comments 45

Considering I have only been in the club a few weeks, so these are all books I read before joining, then I feel pretty good about it. Plus, now I have lots of ideas for new things to read.

A game of thrones
Wizards first rule
The war of the worlds
The fellowship of the ring

Frankenstein

message 141: by Art (new)

Art (artfink02) | 151 comments I keep trying to re-find the list-topia list for the group, and end up going around in circles. It's certainly not iPod friendly, and even a bit irritating on my mac, if only there were an icon I could put in the grouping with my "reading" apps.

I see a pattern with your problems Art, and while I can't fix apple, I can give you a link to the listopia list. Here it is!


message 143: by Janet (new)

Janet I've read 65 of the book club books.


message 144: by Art (new)

Art (artfink02) | 151 comments Thanks, Penny. I'll do it along with your link.

It's not just my apple products, though. My Dell laptop is also incompatible with the "ideal" way I want life to be. Since encountering icons on my iPod, I want life to work with at least voice command, if not just read my mind. But, back to the 'real' world.
Thanks again,
Art


message 145: by William (new)

William Eck (williameck) | 8 comments It loos like I've only read six so far.


message 146: by Johan (new)

Johan Melander Just joined the group and have read 28 of the 153 books currently added. So that leaves me a lot of suggestions for future reads. :)


message 147: by Jim (new)

Jim Townsend | 14 comments Good afternoon,

I've read 27 of the 155 books on the group bookshelf, most of those before joining Goodreads.


message 148: by Ken (last edited Jan 22, 2014 10:23AM) (new)

Ken (kanthr) | 323 comments Let's see...
49/135.

I've not read them at the time of their being discussed, just happened to have chosen many of the ones on the list personally. I'm not one to read focus-group books. I just can't make myself choose something based on the decisions of others.

Some of my favorite authors are on that list, like Wolfe, LeGuin and Mieville. And some of my most-loathed, like Goodkind and Butcher.


message 149: by Michael (new)

Michael | 1303 comments Okay, I'll chime in now that I'm doing the challenge this year. It turns out I've read only 22 of the books, but I have 50 already on my to-read list. I need more time!

The bad news is that if I only read 12 a year like my challenge goal, then I will asymptotically approach (i.e. never reach) 50% of the group's bookshelf. Ha. Better do 13.

The good news is that it will be easier for those of us with these lower numbers to double the number of books read!

Looking over the thread, it was fun watching Kim and Penny's progress through the year. Good work, you two!


message 150: by Michael (new)

Michael Cairns (michaelcairns) | 12 comments Hi All
I've read 31 so far, which isn't too bad. However, very exciting to see so many I haven't heard of. Lots to add to my TBR shelf :)
