Another year, another list/poll of the books that I read in that year.
(See the post I made after this...I tried to remake the poll to fix something and then add it to this post, but it doesn't seem to work at all when I move the poll around to different posts like that, maybe because I deleted the original post? Anyway, just see my next post!)

That is a nice diverse list of books! I don't think I've read any of them.

If you're seeking inspiration for this year,

goals_on_dw has a list of Reading Challenges.

Oh crud! I meant to include a "none of the above" option! I just recreated the poll and added that back into the post. Thanks for indirectly pointing that out! Also, thanks for the challenge recommendation!

I'm happy I could help. Yours is the first post I've seen with a poll asking who else has read the same books. That's a cool idea.

EDIT: I would've voted, but apparently it's locked.

Jeez! Thanks for the heads up. It didn't like me creating a new poll and adding it to the old post. I just remade it yet again but in a new post and it looks like it works over there.

The whole poll for books thing was big in a group I was in back in the old livejournal days, but nothing similar made it over to dreamwidth that I've found.

I've had that happen, and other poll failures. :/

It works!

Now that you mention it, I've seen the same thing.

Want to try making this a custom on DW? You could post on

goals_on_dw about making a book poll as a year-end activity. I bet a lot of folks would like the idea, and you could use yours as an example if you wish. I'd enjoy seeing more of these things.
