sageandseaSteve Duin of the Oregonian runs a book reading contest, keeping track of the pages read during the year. The prize is, of course, a gift certificate from Powell's. I'm starting it here, then will put it in memories so I can add to it throughout the year.
His rules - no more than 15 books by any one author. That's it.
The Malloreon, David Eddings, 1989 pgs. (5 books: Guardians of the West, King of the Murgos, Demon Lord of Karanda Sorceress of Darshiva, The Seeress of Kell)
The Belgariad, David Eddings, 1388 pgs. (5 books: Pawn of Prophecy, Queen of Sorcery, Magician's Gambit, Castle of Wizardry, Enchanter's End Game. )

Carol for Another Christmas, Elizabeth Ann Scarborough, 200 pgs.
Out of the Dust, Karen Hesse, 227 pgs.
Cat's Cradle Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., 191 pgs.
Becoming a Man: Half a Life Story, Paul Monette, 278 pgs.

For a grand total of 11,408 pages read during 2003. What I'm especially proud of is that this list includes only ONE re-read (even if it is 10 books). And the page count is actually higher, but I'm not including books I started this year but haven't finished yet (of which there are about 5).
