Oh boy, what a question.

Probably L.A. Confidential. So much more than the movie and the movie was great.

With that many books, you have to find some stinkers - are you just able to power through or do you put a lot down?

Power through. I always finish what I start.

I just can't do it, i'll like skim read something if I get far enough but it just tanks my willingness to read when I pick up something bad because I usually try to power through.

I do a lot of pre-reading research so I can try to avoid that. I really don't care about spoilers so I will sometimes even read some plot summaries to make sure I am going to like the ending before picking up the book.

I’ve been languishing since September. Just haven’t been putting in enough time on reading, I’ve been watching more tv and doing other things with my hobby time.

Clearly Donald Angus' Outlaw series followed closely by Joe Abercrombie's The Age of Madness Trilogy (still have the last one to read).

goals. How do you find the time? And do you read hardcover, audiobook, kindle, or a mix of all?

I don't have a television and I live 2 blocks from a library. If I'm at home all I do inside is cook, shower and sleep. If I'm awake I am outside reading. I went over some notes and I'm around 135 thus far.
