Hearing that Naruto was ending next month made me decide to check the series out (my local library has most volumes).

What would be a good way to count the series in this challenge? One volume is obviously too small, but the entire series is like 70 volumes and 12 000 pages. Would it be fair to count Part 1 of the series (vol 1-27) as a single book? That would probably be the same time commitment as a 400-500 page novel.
 

Books

Beautiful You (Chuck Palahniuk) ★★★★

Movies

We Are What We Are ★★
Jug Face ★★½
Miami Connection ★★★★★
Re-Animator ★★★★½
The Stuff ★★★

Beautiful You was a riot. Classic Chuck. Trying to watch Halloween/scary movies for October so I've got a bunch that I haven't seen here. Also, saw Snowpiercer finally. Wow. Movie was incredible. Going to pick up the graphic novels later this week.

Shoot for what feels like a 300 page novel.

Naruto is a little different, but with manga like One Piece where 'sagas' (multiple arcs together) exist, I usually go by that. When I read the Whitebeard Saga, I counted that as a book.

Glad I finished this challenge early. My son was born the beginning of the month and I have not finished a book or movie since, that's not to say I haven't started, just can't close anything out. Hopefully as the schedule sorts out I will have some more free time at night when I'm not busy passing out at 7pm because I really do miss reading books.

Good luck to everyone as the last 2 months approach

I saw your note on this list, you absolutely have to read Of Human Bondage next year, it's one of the best novels I've ever read.
Click to expand...

i definitely plan to.

maugham's books are my fav discovery this year. i'm a bit allergic to long books as i get easily distracted but i certainly will make an exception for his most famous work. just need to find the right time to settle down with it.
 
Oh man, I haven't written an update in a long time, even though I did update my main list regularly. Still slow with books, so it'll be great if I reach 15, let alone 50 :( But at least it's gonna be a year when I read more than the last, and I'll finish my movie challenge, so it's something.

Anyways, my October update: Beeblebrox - 8/50 Books | 43/50 Movies

Started reading American Gods and I like it so far. When it comes to movies, I've seen:

37. Chungking Express
38. Taken
39. Taken 2
40. Hunger Games
41. Hunger Games: Catching Fire
42. Die Hard 2
43. Alien

Alien was pretty nice for a Halloween movie. Also liked Die Hard 2, and Chungking Express was interesting. Taken and Hunger Games... well, Taken is slightly better, but I still wouldn't recommend either of those two (series) to anyone.

I don't care if I'm alone on this one, or part of the bandwagon. I really liked this freaking movie. Stylish and action-packed, without relying on super gory special effects. Basically, it was everything that Dredd was not.

John Wick was a simple film, plot and character wise, but it was one bloody fun ride. Such an awesome action film.

Going to make an update later in the weekend about my progress.

They do count of you are actually reading. Kind of crappy compared to reading stuff for pleasure, but don't let that interfere with the challenge.

I've been listing books I read for school. Not articles or other research papers though despite that being a big percentage of what I read a week. (But then I'll count comic trades which a lot of folks don't.)
 
Going to do my end of the month update now, since I'm at a PC:

34) Wizard's First Rule

Fuck this fiery piece of garbage. I wasted too much time reading it and now writing it. I'd rather read the Twilight series than read through this filth again.

★

35) I am Malala

Quite the polar swing from that *other* book. Really engaging, a truly personal touch on a woman who main aim in life is to get herself and other people an education. The Pakistan history was also quite enlightening. Malala certainly deserved that Nobel Peace Prize.

★★★★★

Movies:

33) Fury

GET INTO THE TANK! Tanks are the new waifu. Believe it.

★★★

34) John Wick

Extremely simple plot and character wise, but the film is a fun bloody ride and hits every bell in being a great action film.

★★★★

35) Dear White People

The best satire since Cabin in the Woods did its examination on bad horror cliches.

★★★★★

36) Gone Girl

Finch made another solid film, along with Razner producing quality music. Also Pike deserves an Oscar for Best Actress. One hell of a performance

★★★★

37) Night Crawler

Talking about Oscar-winning performances, Gyllenhaal was this decade's American Psycho. With a terrific message on how local TV media is garbage and the "wondrous" world of night crawling, we also get a phenomenal portrayal of a complete sociopath.

★★★★

You have no one to blame but yourself! I believe my exact response on Goodreads was: "Why do you hate yourself?"

I made it about 50 pages into the book back in 2000, and promptly swore the series and author off forever.

I don't really get the hate this series get. It's not the greatest, but hey, according to the internet I have awful taste in everything.

Favorite Book - October: Rosemary's Baby

This is a no brainer for me. The movie is one of the greatest horror movies of all time and the book is also pretty darn great.

Favorite Movie - October: Gone Girl

I loved this movie, and this comes someone who abhors Affleck. Tension and suspense out of the wazoo. I had picked Rosemary's Baby originally, but since I picked the novel as my favorite book this month I thought I'd go with something else for the movie portion.

So I just watched Inland Empire for this challenge. My brain was not ready to watch such a film. Guys, I think I may die due to the insanity of that film.
 
Will try to read at least 1-2 more books before the end.

Some highlights from the year:

Best Movie: Interstellar

Worst Movie: Transformers 4

Best Book: Psycho-Cybernetics

Worst Book: Broken Dolls
 
Remember when I posted my super detailed stats for books: http://m.neogaf.com/showpost.php?p=132403730 (I'm upto 117 books btw. Will post the full stats atend of year.)

Well this isn't that ln topic but I need to share my fustration.

So today I niticed on goodreads that I had read 116 books out've my 120 goal. (I wonder if I'll hit his goal lol.) But wait,THATS WRONG!

Because my stats page says I read 117 books.

Dismayed, I looked through my stats page and recent goodreads books. I found no problem with my stats page, so I concluded that I must've completely forgit to add a book to my read list on goodreads. Now if I did that somehow, then it had to be a short atory since update GR each day. But short stories are scattered everywhere, so K did what only the mostsane person would do, I opened my notes app (where I keep my stats) and opened goodreads on web nrowser (This is on iPad 1 so I also had todeal with ram) and looked atevery single book I read and cross checked it with my stats page, hoping to find the missing book.

And guess what? I did find a missing book. A missing book that I READ ALL THE WAY BACK IN JANUARY THIRD SO IT TOOK FOREVER TO GET THERE FFS!!!!

So I go and add it to my read list...and then it happened.

I realized the truth. Because I am insane about my stats and I would NEVER FORGET to add a book.

There was a harsh cold truth...

I did add it to goodreads. I knew I did as soon as I realized the title (A Very Hexy Valentine's Day) but goodreads FUCKING REMOVED THE BOOK.

WHAT THE FUCK

I mean its a very short web story to a series that ended, only took about 3 minutes toread, but to completely destroy a goodreads stats over that is just...wrong.

I mean, it would've happened eventually. I count rereads so there was going to be a time where Ireread a book for the third time that had no third edition (You have to read a different edition for it to show up on goodreads) but still i thought I had a couple more years of the good life. The good life is gone.

PS: I know I over dramatized this a tiny hit, but I still love stats and this just sucks. I also did not over dramatize the details tho, I really did look at each book on a list to see if I added it to goodreads. An hour of my life wasted. *Starts 117th...no 118th book*

Edit: Phew...someone else finally posted after me. I was afraid I killed the thread haha.
 
Finished my fifty movies. Pretty disappointed I've only seen one film I would rate five stars this year compared to six last year. I also managed sixty two films last year which I won't get near this year. I have done a bit better with books (seventeen compared to nine) but still a complete failure on that front.
 
So glad I finished in August because starting a new job (even if it is at Barnes & Noble) and new games have totally overrun my reading/movie watching time. I did just update my post, though. 54/50 books, 55/50 movies.

Interstellar was by far the best movie I've seen all year and it is perhaps my favorite movie I've seen thus far in my life.

In terms of books, I bought a bunch of ebooks on sale and picked up Michael Connelly and Stephen King's new books. I just have to find the time to read them!
 
I've been real busy these last couple of weeks. I've literally had no time to watch movies. Reading, working, studying, watching TV series, playing games (I've actually finished quite a few of them but I've stopped updating my games-score in the 50/50, really need to find another avenue where to post them), and hanging out with my significant other. This is my November update. Gz to the 50/50!​



Books​
  • Ulysses (1922), James Joyce - &#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; - Joyce writes in the same way I think which means I kind of float unreflecting on the words. The constant flow of words are relaxing. It also makes me the worst kind of critic of Ulysses; I'm biased. I make no claim to "getting" it while I actually picked up what was going on. I liked how much of what I've read from Wilde was referenced directly. Next up Finnegan's Wake.
  • A Dance with Dragons (2011), - &#9733;&#9733;&#9733;½ - The last 300 pages were awesome, the preceding 800 were in dire need of an editor. Reading these books after eachother really presents a vision that doesn't quite know how to best to be portrayed. It's enjoyable reading if a bit too long.
  • La Petite Bijou (2001), Patrick Modiano - &#9733;&#9733;&#9733; - My first stab at the Nobel winner's literature. It's enjoyable. The perfect book to relax the mind after Ulysses and Dance with Dragons. It's short. I found no flaws but I really didn't find anything I really liked either. A very quiet book. Like its main protagonist.
  • What I Talk About When I Talk About Running (2007), Haruki Murakami - &#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; - I run but I'm nowhere near the levels of Murakami. I don't like to compete. I can run pretty far (would guess my current limit is somewhere around 20-30km on a good day without punishing myself). But I get it. I get running. I get him.
  • Bruk och missbruk av jordens resurser (2009), Claes Bernes, Lars J. Lundgren - &#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; - If one would ever want a detailed overview of Sweden's use of its natural resources over the last 500 years there's really no better book for it. Great graphs and data presented clearly to the reader. It really shows that there's a lot more we can do to undo much of the damage we've caused.
  • En ännu varmare värld (2007), Claes Bernes - &#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; - Another book in the same series but here detailing the consequences of Sweden's and its neighboring countries' greenhouse gas emissions. Great overview of our current situation and what we're emitting and the effects. To the nay-sayers: lol wut?!
