Empty Shelf Challenge… Three days in… need to read a real book!

I really need to read something other then Graphic Novels for a while…

ESC – Reading Pile

When it comes to actual novels I do the majority of my reading digitally, but I still do most of my Comic Reading old school style…

Here is my main “to be read” pile…

 

Jon Acuff’s Empty Shelf Challenge

Was going to work on other stuff tonight and write this up and post tomorrow… But I feel like doing it now…

Jon Acuff has come up with a challenge to people who follow him on Instagram and his blog. Empty a shelf, and spend from now until December 31, 2014 filling it up.

Back when I first got out of High School I kept a reading log and tracked what I read every year… somewhere around 1996 I stopped doing this.

I think it would be fun to start doing it again. Back then I set daily minimum pages read, this time I think I am just going to read and see what happens.

The problem I do have with it though, is that a good 80% of what I read these days tends to be digital. So instead of an physical empty shelf I have created a empty shelf on my GoodReads page. Since Mr. Acuff says it is “stupid and fake” to wait until January 1st to start something I have already started to fill it with my reading from this past weekend.

 

UPDATE : I have decided that it might be fun to also keep a running page count broke down into since I tend to be OCD…

I am going to track total pages read, Prose Pages read, and Graphic Novel/Comic pages read… Just for giggles.
