God Loves a Challenge. My refrigerator exploded, flooding a good portion of my home. No comics were harmed. I know that's important to you guys. :D This will impact my comic buying for a year or so to come, I know, but not my reading! In fact, I'm hoping to get MORE of it done than ever before!
Rules are simple: Log everything you've read this year. Just edit your existing post or you (and we) will get confused trying to keep up. Bold the stuff you really dig. At the end of each month I'll start a new thread and you can pick a "winner" from your favorite books. You can focus on just trades (which is usually what I do), or just write about the good stuff you've read, or go completely nuts (like I plan to this year) and log EVERYTHING you read.
