hopping on zankoku_zen's bandwagon

there's this neat community 50bookchallenge that helps challenge people to keep track of what they read and make sure they do it. the challenge is to make 50 books in a year or 15000 pages. i probably easily make 50 books/year, but i've never bothered to keep track before. so far this is what i've got. i am resorting to keeping track here, because it is too difficult to find my old posts on their website.
