I'm Insane

Well, it's official. I have lost my mind. Let me tell you about it.

I start with a related and short, but slightly uninteresting ancedote. I just put in my retainers for the first time in over four months. (Uninteresting) I have a huge headache and am unable to sleep. (Related) So, I started thinking.

I just started reading LotR:tFotR. That's Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, for the non-nerds out there. This is my second endevor in the reading of this series, I only got through about 70 pages last time. That got me thinking about this list I saw and posted as a note on Facebook. One that lists 100 novels/series/collections. This is the part where I went insane.

I decided that I'm going to try to read all 100 of the items listed in about a year. Let's say, by midnight of December 31, 2011 to be exact. I have already read 21 of the items listed, but I would re-read them in the time frame. This is going to be a huge challenge. The list includes hefty items like The Complete Works of Shakespeare, War and Peace, and The Bible. I've never been a huge reader of the classics, which adds to the challenge even more. I'm sure there will be books on the list that I will hate and never want to be in the same room with ever again. But I will read them anyways, for the sake of the challenge. (Actually, I should name this challenge... *muses* I'll get back to that later.)

I will also try to do daily (or at least every other day- bidaily? Or is that twice a day?) posts updating my status. This will force me to write, and give me motivation to continue.

A Year of Literary Confinement (YLC) here I come!
