Did you watch those movies or did you experience them on the platform of your choosing and read the wiki recap? |

My youngest reads 365 books a year. Of course I read them to him but he does listen so it counts. |

Wait, does Bada think the valuable part of reading is actually absorbing information through your eyeballs? |

So double credit? If that's the case then team Bada is gonna kill this challenge. Double score last night!

I do plan on taking advantage of this when the new Pearl Jam album comes out. I'll just read the liner notes and that will count as listening to it. |

I'm not trying to sway you. It doesn't really matter to me if you count audiobooks or not. This isn't a contest. You can tone down the sass. |

Did you get the sass by reading it or did someone read it to you and you could tell by their tone that I was being sassy? |

OK, except for the part where it's only new books so re-reads don't count.  4/5 wrote: Books (1/50) 1. Infinite Jest--David Foster Wallace Movies (4/50) 1. Braveheart 2. Baby Driver 3. Ocean's Eleven 4. Inside Llewyn Davis I saw an audiobook for Infinite Jest. I'm not even sure how that would work with the footnotes. |

06/50 Books
Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert A. Heinlein The World of Lore: Monstrous Creatures by Aaron Mahnke A Wrinkle in Time: The Graphic Novel by Hope Larson Cassandra French's Finishing School for Boys: A Novel by Eric Garcia We Were Eight Years in Power: An American Tragedy by Ta-Nehisi Coates 04/50 Movies
The Dark Tower (2017) Kong: Skull Island (2017) Justice League (2017) I need something fun after that read, especially the dour note of it's ending and the real-life continuation. I'm reading Ready Player One with my son, keeping a laptop nearby for the quick references. I know I'm going to be watching Monty Python in the near future so that should more than up the fun quotient. |
