Holiday Break Reading Challenge Overview

Thursday 07 January 2010 at 4:08 pm I was going to do this sooner, but it hasn't happened. So here it is. My final numbers and thoughts.

I read 8 books

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Vol. 10 by Hirohiko Araki

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Vol. 11 by Hirohiko Araki

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Vol. 12 by Hirohiko Araki

The Road by Cormac McCarthy

The Ruins by Scott Smith

A Drifting Life by Yoshihiro Tatsumi

Boilerplate: History's Mechanical Marvel by Paul Guinan and Anina Bennett

Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld

And I did 6 reviews (I lumped the 3 JoJo's together into a review of the whole series (so far.))

I only planned on reading The Road . . . so Expectations Exceeded!

I ended up reading 2804 pages, pretty much all of which I enjoyed without pause. I am glad I chose the books I did, because none disappointed. If I had to pick a favorite I would say The Road. But they were all amazing. I would say my least favorite, but still favorite, were JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, and The Ruins. But it would really be like a difference between 1/2 star to 1 star on a 10 star scale, between all the books, probably none of them dropping below 8. I liked them all that much. That's why I exceeeded my goal by 7 books. Ok. So those are some thoughts, now some stats.
