I'm only counting Feast for Crows as one as I read about 1/3rd of it in December, but since books like that can count as two I figure that's fair.

Counting a manga with 11 volumes totalling over 2000 pages as two books seems fair to me, but it still doesn't feel right. What do you guys think about how you should count comics?

01. Texas Chainsaw 3D
Also in the process of reading Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton and A Lost Civilization Enigma by Phillip Coppens. I really enjoyed Threat Vector, but somehow did not realize that I missed the book before it. After I finish the two I am currently reading, I'm going to go back and read that one. DBDA3 was a complete let down. The first two books were brilliant, this one was just not what I was expecting. A lot of build up and no pay off. At all.

Fairly good, it was an anthology of stories dedicated to Ray Bradbury. I liked it well enough, but would have gotten more out of it if I were more familiar with his work.

Book two of Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn novels was fantastic. I devoured that thing over the weekend...couldn't put it down. I've just started the third one now, and I'm hoping it lives up to the first two.

Bitch Slap is a pretty horribad faux-exploitation, "grindhouse clone".
Forgettable story, dull characters and terrible acting all around. The only reason I suffered through that movie was because of the Xena & Hercules cameos.

That's the million dollar question. The "official" answer is yes, but it's about using your best judgment. Trade paperback volumes don't work on a one-to-one ratio since you tear through them much faster.
How long did it take you to read through the volumes? I'd go with that over page count, since I can tear through hundreds of comic pages in a fraction of the time it takes to cover the same number of text pages. If they took you the same time it would to read two books, roll with that.

What, that's ridiculous. That means if I read a Lemony Snicket book (which I have) it wouldn't count as a whole book since it's fewer words/pages. That's nonsense. It's about 50 contained experiences, not some race the the highest page count. If we were worried about how long something takes to consume why are there the same number of books and movies for the year? Movies take two hours to watch on average, so by this logic, you should have to watch 20 movies for it to count as one.
BOO TO THAT.
Updated the OP again - Once again for those new to the thread and those that haven't seen the update:
There are people with multiple updates on the same page and it's getting a bit annoying to update these again and again.

Movies:
A Clash of Kings was not as good a read as A Game of Thrones, but not bad either. Now I startet a Storm of Swords and finally I'm off to a story I haven't previously seen on TV. I have heard good stuff about this book, so I'm quite hyped again.
Cosmopolis could have been far better. Same thing with the Bourne Legacy - far top convoluted story, that tries too hard to tie the last movie and this one together. And the ending was really bad. The action built up quite nicely, but that would not have been a good final fight in any movie... Still don't like the shaky-cam, but that much was expected.
Dredd on the other hand: Beautiful! Much better than I anticipated and a better realization of the concept than The Raid. Will watch again and hopefully it will rock the charts now, so there can be another one.
Django was pretty good. Excellent at times, average at others, but in the end my best cinema experience in quite some time.

Wait, you just included this in yours, minus the indent. Is the indent what makes the difference?
Also, I don't really check the leaderboards that often (speaking for myself of course), so it would be fine by me if you only wanted to update it once a month or something.

It's subjective at the end of the day, but I haven't seen anyone counting individual TPBs. In fact, just last year you said they wouldn't count.
So what is it? If we're counting individual TPBs I'll finish in three months. Those take, what, 20 minutes to read?

I think his point is you only need one "official" update post after he tallies up for the OP list. That post should have the indent so he can find it easily. No worries discussing other things you've read or seen in a new post, but keep the official tally in one update post after he updates the tracker.

I'm sad you didn't enjoy Clash of Kings more. I thought it was rather great. Especially the last third of it.
A Storm of Swords is absolutely amazing. Easily my favorite in the series thus far.

They're the ones I'm most eager to read. I didn't care for the second half of the book, specifically the collapsing sphere of reality. I have high hopes for the rest of that series.
Quick break from Discworld for another classic and then I'm headed right back in.
