how funny - a friend of mine just recommended that book to me the other day and i immediately put it on my to-read list. wouldn't it be fabulous to be able to spend a year just reading and then writing about it?

Interesting! I though about doing something like it, at least a classic a month, reading everything from a particular author. But then I thought, what the heck, just read what you feel like;-)

Interesting indeed. I have started doing that idea of reading a book per week. As a matter of fact It was on my list last year. The bad side is that I've collected many books but haven't finished reading them all. Bad habit!

That however exclude my undying passion on rereading Sidney Sheldon novels. Its my life.

By the way this is a very nice book club.
Kudos to the bookblogger members.

I like the idea of reading a book a week but I'm not sure how practical it is for me. I usually just try to keep a list of every book I've read during the year. It's an interesting way of seeing what I was into, when.

Of course, what I really want is for someone to pay me to read a book a week...

i didn't really realize until after reading all your comments...but I have been reading just about a book a week for years! Of course there are the few weeks that I read 2 or none if I am feeling bad or have to much other work to do. I have also learned that all that reading can do things to your head...like reading nothing but alien take over books for a month. To make sure I really didn't go over the egde i found that reading a no brainer book (slim romance novel comes to mind..ok I'm cringing here)can help clear it out of all thought. That way I am ready for the next set of books...maybe genic research on humans to fit the planet amosphere that they will be living on. Ok..ok...after re-reading the above...I must really get out more or maybe yet..fix the capital button on my keyboard.

@Joel: That's an excellent idea;-) Perhaps we could find someone sponsoring our reading books. Would be heaven to me!

That sounds like fun...I average a little more than that it seems these days, though probably not. Hmmm...This could be good.
