I was really successful in jumpstarting my reading habit midway through 2014 - even doing the Book Discussion threads and stuff - but a shitstorm of workload towards the last couple of months of the year really put a stop to that.
I saw this posted on another foum I frequent and figured I'd join in. Anyone here who wants to join in is welcome to as well.
This isn't meant to replace the Book Discussion threads, but right now I'm not in a place where I'm ready to jump back into that sort of structured reading. At least this activity is more loose and you have more liberty to pick what you want.
