What is project facebooks?
What is this project facebooks then, you might wonder.
Well, I was sitting at the library a few days ago, trying to find something to read, some inspiration.
And it just came to me.
I have 204 friends on Facebook (apart from reading, I do think that I spend most of my time on Facebook. It's a frickin' addiction.)
What if these friends all recommended me 1 book each?
I'm a pretty fast reader, depending on the book of course, I read a book on avarage 1 to 7 days.
But to make it easy, let's say I read a book a week.
There are 52 weeks in a year, so let's divide 204 by 52.
That's 3,923.
But there are times when I cannot read as much as I want to (work, school, tests etc), so let's make that a simple 4.
It means that if every friend on my list on Facebook (to date) recommend me a book, I'd have something to read for the next 4 years!
I've asked my friends to all recommend me books and so far 25 of them has humoured me and done what I asked.
The list of books up until now:
The order of the list is the order of when they got recommended, not the order I plan on reading them.
I'll be reading some of the books in Swedish and some in English, whatever is available at the library.
After I have finished a book, I will write about my thoughts of it here on the blog.
I am currently approximately 100 pages from finishing #2 on the list - Deborah Spungen's book about her daughter Nancy.
