Strangely, sometimes I read memoirs of famous people whose work I don't generally like.
For example, Stephen King. I can't read his books, they're too scary and give me nightmares, but his "On writing" memoir is one of my favorite books and I read it like ten times or so.
Right now, I can put down Mindy Kaling's "Is everyone hanging out without me?". I found The Mindy Project super boring and managed to watch only two episodes, but the book is absolutely great. Why couldn't her show be more like the book, huh?

Well, last year's challenge did not work out quite as I expected. I ended up finishing 106 books instead of planned 200. While it's still a lot more than most people read in a year, I wanted to read even more and my "to-read" pile is getting bigger. This year I will try to read 200 books, and to hold myself accountable I will write about the process regularly.
