I'm with ya bro! I think I'll go for 60 myself - I'd be shocked if I reach it though, I came in at about 42 this year. However I did have a period of not reading for a few months...Thanks depression! Lets go 2019`!Anyone doing the Goodreads challenge for 2019? I'm setting a lofty goal of 60. My goal last year was 40, later upped to 50, and finished on 54, so 60 seems doable.
Hahaha. I'm also going to go for 50 - If I reach 60 I'll feel very smug.2018 was the first year in about 10 years that I've read over 50, my reading habits were terrible since college. Feels amazing to be Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit.
Is this Paul Condon, legendary reading machine???I think I know the friend and saw, dropped jaw, and instantly felt modest about how much I'd read haha.

He's my reading idol.I don't know how he does it.
It is definitely best read after reading The Talisman and at least a chunk of the Dark Tower books. It provides some detail and background to the Dark Tower world(s) but not essential to the Dark Tower experience.I'm reading Black House by Stephen King. Started it in December when on holidays and am plodding through it. It's grand, if not great. Then, it's meant to be a sequel to The Talisman, which I haven't read so a lot of the references are lost on me. Still, as a standalone book it's grand.
Just realised now that it's park of the Dark Tower Series too, though where it fits in, I do not know.
Those books need to be shredded, I'm sorry, why do they bloody exist.I've started reading this insane "how to write books" book called The Magic Words

It's full of autistic advice like "Great fiction creates a deliberate emotion in the person experiencing it.... This emotion is achieved authentically through immersing us in the protagonist's real experience, not through cheap manipulation"
I'm kind of getting into it though, it's almost like reading Hobbes.
I read the first 4 Dark Tower books but it's so long ago I barely remember. I recall the first 3 being great, then losing interest when reading Wizard and Glass.It is definitely best read after reading The Talisman and at least a chunk of the Dark Tower books.

That'd be my normal attitude alright but I figured what harm.Those books need to be shredded, I'm sorry, why do they bloody exist.
I loved Wizard and Glass but my wife loved the first three books and W&G absolutely killed any interest she had in reading on. I guess you just have to live for lengthy flashbacks set in a weird wild west world.I read the first 4 Dark Tower books but it's so long ago I barely remember.

Might do things in reverse and read The Talisman next.
Just started reading this. Unsure of how I feel about it so far, although pretty engrossed nonetheless.I've just finished A Man Called Ove and am about to start Milkman by Anna Burns, with some trepidation I have to say. Reader reviews of this one have been very mixed.
I'm about half way and I'm still unsure if I like it or not, but the narrative voice is engrossingJust started reading this. Unsure of how I feel about it so far, although pretty engrossed nonetheless.
