50 book challenge

Jeg vet ikke om dette gjelder som et såkalt MEME. Det er noe jeg har kommet over, men aldri deltatt i offentlig, på det der nettstedet jeg tilbringer alt for mye tid på. Konseptet går ut på at man melder seg på 50 book challenge, for så å holde alle andre oppdatert på hvilke bøker man leser. Målet er, som man kanskje kan slutte seg til ut ifra navnet, å lese 50 bøker på et år.

Jeg nølte veldig med å melde meg på det av to grunner: Jeg var slett ikke sikker på at jeg leste 50 bøker i året lenger; og jeg hadde en snikende anelse om at jeg som litteraturstudent har en noe urettferdig fordel. Det er ikke snakk om en konkurranse. Ikke engentlig. Men det er ikke fritt for at det kanskje føles som en, likevel.

Jeg begynte imidlertid å holde oversikt over bøkene jeg leste i fjor. For å jevne litt ut, tok jeg bare med fiksjon (ikke faglitteratur) (noe jeg har tenkt å endre på i år), og det viste seg i grunnen at 50 ikke er noe problem (i alle fall ikke hvis man tar livet av datamaskinen med en kopp kaffe ca halvveis i året). Da jeg nevnte dette for Tor ble han umiddelbart bitter fordi han ikke hadde holdt oversikt over hvilke bøker han hadde lest, og bestemte seg umiddelbart for å ta igjen for det tapte i år (så langt ligger han en bok foran meg, siden han har lest en).

For å spre gleden nevner jeg det nå altså her. Det er to fordeler: Det fungerer som et insentiv til å lese mer (selv om det egentlig bare er tull, for det er jo å lese bøker som skal være insentivet til å lese bøker, men likevel); og man kan gå tilbake og se på hva man har lest.

Jeg holder i tillegg oversikt over hvilke jeg leser om igjen og hvilke jeg leser for første gang, men det er ikke en del av det opprinnelige konseptet.

Her har dere det altså. Så kan den som vil gjøre det. Og offentliggjøring av lister er selvsagt helt frivillig, men er vel det eneste MEME-aktige ved øvelsen, om man går inn for denslags.

Jeg har bestemt meg for å prøve meg på dette i år. I mange år nå har jeg ikke lest på langt nær så mange bøker som en slik person jeg tenker på meg selv som burde lese. Jeg erklærer derfor at jeg akter å lese 50 bøker i år, og jeg vil føre en oppdatert liste i profilen min på calcuttagutta, slik at alle kan spotte og spe (med melk?) meg om jeg ikke skulle greie det.

Camilla,  07.01.09 23:28

Javeldamasekopp. Jeg får vel slenge meg på jeg også, da. Så snart jeg har lest ferdig en bok.

Camilla T.,  08.01.09 00:09

Men hva om man er flau over bøkene man har lest? Burde man ta med de da på listen? *Gjemmer Twilight bak ryggen*
Det er jo lett at man bare vil ta med bøker av en viss literær verdi på en slik liste, blir det korrekt da? Æsj, jeg lurer ingen, leser ikke noe av literær verdi lenger...

Camilla,  08.01.09 01:04

Nei, poenget er jo at man skal ta med alt. Burde jeg legge opp listen min fra i fjor som eksempel?

Camilla T.,  08.01.09 14:13

Ja, gjør det...
Regnes store tegneseriebøker med? Og hva med bøker man leser på nytt? Eller gjelder bare bøker man leser for første gang? Jeg leser jo gjerne bøker en 10-12 ganger dersom jeg liker dem...

Camilla,  08.01.09 15:07

Som du helt korrekt sier: det er jo å lese bøker som skal være insentivet til å lese bøker.

Nettopp derfor må jeg si at jeg ikke har noe som helst tillit til dette systemet. For det første baserer det seg kun på antall, og formidler dermed underforstått at den som leser mye er flink og bra. Kvantitet, kvalitet, etc. Og når titler også er alt, ligger det tjukt mellom linjene at den som leser enkelte bøker er flinkere og bedre enn den som leser andre bøker. Begge deler er ... hva skal jeg si? Teit.

Jeg lanserer derfor mitt egen kontra-system, som jeg selv innførte i fjor, og det er ikke basert på publisering og offentlig cred, men egen interesse. Det går ut på at man kort noterer hva man synes om de bøkene man har lest. Det begynte med at jeg fant igjen en gammel bibliotekskvittering, og måtte trist fastslå at jeg ikke kunne huske hva jeg syntes om flere av bøkene. Det betyr jo at flere av dem har gjort et svakt inntrykk, men man gjør seg jo likevel opp en mening som er ens egen. Og få bøker er så dårlige at man vil glemme dem, da er man ikke interessert i litteratur likevel. Så i fjor noterte jeg konsise synspunkter på bøkene jeg leste. (Jeg har ikke talt dem eller kontrollert deres litteraturstudentmiljøkredibilitet.) Det synes jeg er lurt, og jeg tillater alle som ønsker det, å gjøre det samme.

Camilla,  08.01.09 20:59

Det var i grunnen derfor jeg ikke var med på den offentlige delen i fjor. Men jeg glemmer ikke hva jeg synes om bøker. Jeg glemmer ofte hvordan de ender, men dommer henger i evig lenge.

Repost from www.readandfindout.com.

In 2009 for the first time I kept a note of all the books I read, with a view to completing the 50-book challenge. This was one of my objectives for the "101 things in 1001 days" project, which I began on 1 January 2009. In fact I read 50½ books, as I still had to finish one that I had begun in December 2008. I finished my last book on 29 December 2009.

For 2010, instead of having a target of reading a fixed number of books, I'm going to make a list of particular books I want to read, and try to alternate between books that are on the list and books that aren't. Now that I'm a full-time student, I'll have a lot of individual chapters of academic books to read, which makes it hard to rack up whole books, so I don't think another 50-book challenge would be a good idea!

Here is the list of my 2009 books – I'd be glad to hear your opinions on any of them. FYI, brackets means I began the book in a different month to when I finished it, and the square brackets are for a time when I slightly messed up my record-keeping and am not sure in which order I read the two books.

Happy New Year, and good luck in your reading plans for 2010, whatever they are!

Just seeing Dune on Mary's list makes me want to read it again...

Camilla, did you enjoy American Gods?

Camilla,  03.01.10 12:43

Yes, it is quite good. I prefer Neverwhere, but that may be because I know more about the London subway than I do about rural America. The mythological references appealed to me quite a lot, and the writing is good. It should be read.

The main ones I would recommend from my list are that, The Gone-Away World, Unspeakable Desolation Pouring Down from the Stars, The Turn of the Screw, The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie and The Count of Monte-Cristo. Oh, and all things Holmes, of course. That goes without saying. And all things Wilde.

Camilla,  03.01.10 18:30

Forøvrig, Anders (noe jeg trodde jeg hadde kommentert her, men som jeg altså ikke later til å ha gjort):

Jeg er ikke enig i at å publisere lister over hva man leser er teit. Jeg er enig i at selve det å gå hardt inn for 50 bøker koste hva det koste vil kan være uheldig, for jeg ser for meg at enkelte gjerne går for veldig korte og lettleste bøker for å nå det magiske tallet. Akkurat det motvirkes imidlertid litt av det du later til å mene gjør det dobbelt teit (altså at man også publiserer titlene).

Jeg synes tvert imot det er veldig interessant å se hva folk leser. Jeg har tidligere bare hatt vage ideer om det. Hvorvidt dette skal kobles til noe a la 50 book challenge er selvsagt helt åpent. Jeg tar ikke challenge-delen av det tungt i det hele tatt og leser kun basert på hva jeg føler for (eventuelt hva jeg må lese). Å publisere en liste over bøkene jeg har vært gjennom et år gjør ikke det jeg leser noe mindre interessant. Tvert imot gjør det at jeg senere kan gå tilbake og se hva som kan ha påvirket meg i gitte perioder.

Kontrasystemet ditt, som du kaller det, kan fint kombineres med å legge opp en liste over hva du leser. Det er altså mer som et tilleggssystem enn et kontrasystem.

Ole Petter,  03.01.10 21:46

Jeg tar av meg den fine Arc'teryx-lua jeg fikk til jul for dere som leser 50+ bøker pr år, og jeg ser poenget med å legge ut en liste. Og ja, det er litt interessant å se hva dere har lest, men det hadde vært mye mer interessant hvis dere kunne skrevet en liten oppsummering til slutt. Jeg blir veldig nysgjerrig på ting som: hvis dere bare kunne anbefalt *en* bok av de dere har lest, hvilken hadde det blitt? Og hvilken bok var mest skuffende/dårligst? Hva var tyngst?

Noen som har lyst å svare?

Camilla,  03.01.10 22:54

Hvis jeg skal velge én som jeg skal anbefale så må det nok være The Gone-Away World. Litt fordi den er litt mindre kjent og at det derfor er mindre sannsynlig at noen bare kommer til å plukke den opp tilfeldig (i motsetning til for eksempel The Count of Monte-Cristo).

Den tyngste var nok Blanchot, men det var ikke annet å forvente. Han og Levinas, egentlig. Av fiksjons-bøkene var den tyngste Robinson Crusoe. Himmel og hav, sier jeg bare.

Den mest skuffende var nok The Last Cavalier, mest fordi jeg hadde så store forventninger.

Som du ser har jeg hele tiden skrevet om dem som gjorde inntrykk ;)

Ole Petter,  04.01.10 20:38

Jeg er fornøyd med at jeg greide 20, som betyr at jeg innfridde fjorårets nyttårsforsett på det punktet i alle fall.

Jeg tror imidlertid at selv om jeg helt sikkert ikke kommer til å lese flest bøker i 2011, ble jeg kanskje den som først avsluttet en bok. Jeg leste nemlig ut The Great Hunt i tre-tiden i natt.

Spesielt for i år er at jeg var med på en såkalt "challenge" som skulle få folk til å lese mer variert. Man skulle altså lese minst en bok av hver av seks genrer over hele året (historical fiction, western, horror, mystery, (auto-)biography, history, family chronicle, allegory/parody/satire and surrealist novel), og så skulle man lese en bok med bestemte kriterier over to måneder av gangen:

Januar/februar: Read a work of classic literature -- one you've never read before.

Mars/april: Read a book by an author from a country you've not read a book from before.

Mai/juni: Read one Scifi, one Fantasy AND one Spec Fic book

Juli/august: Read a graphic novel, a play OR a collection of poetry you've not read before.

September/oktober: Read a book, then watch a film of that book.

November/desember: Read a non-fiction book you've not read before.

Det var interessant. Jeg ser ikke for meg at jeg ville lest Morgan Kane eller Bretons Nadja hvis det ikke var for disse, men jeg er litt glad for at jeg nå kan gå tilbake til å lese helt etter mitt eget forgodtbefinnende. Det er imidlertid ikke umulig at jeg vil prøve noe lignende igjen om et par år.

25 bøker, så flere enn i fjor. Denne artikkelen med tilhørende kommentarer begynner å bli ganske interessant egentlig. Og jeg tror den inspirerer meg til å lese mer. Jeg har jo alltid tenkt på meg selv som en fyr som leser mye, men jeg tror det var noe som hang igjen fra gamle dager, og at jeg ikke egentlig leste så mye fra jeg begynte å studere, sånn omtrent. Men nå er det i ferd med å ta seg opp, selv om det har blitt litt mye Wodehouse og Jordan det siste året. Ikke at det er dårlige greier, men det er bra med variasjon.

@ Ole Petter: Endelig noen som har lest The Last Samurai. Likte du den?

Ole Petter,  08.01.14 19:24

@ Camilla: Det begynner å bli en stund siden jeg leste den, men: ja, jeg likte den, stort sett. Personene var interessante, og måten historien ble fortalt på føltes orginal og ...lærerik(?), finner ikke helt det riktige ordet. Interessant. Fascinasjonen over språk var smittende. Jeg planla å se filmen (7 Samurai), men det ble det aldri noe av, vet ikke om jeg gikk glipp av mye pga det.

Jeg sleit litt med å godta enkelte ting: Ludo's genialitet var greit (og godt skrevet), men jeg klarte ikke helt å tro på at han skulle være så psykologisk sterk med en såpass mangelfull oppvekst. Sibylla var ikke akkurat en god mor. Det hadde virket like naturlig om Ludo hadde lett etter en alternativ mor, i stedet for en manglende far.

Dere skal få tilbake boken ved neste anledning. Takk for lånet og takk for tipset!
Camilla,  09.01.14 00:08

Så det er du som har backup-kopien min av den boken! Det har jeg lurt litt på. Jeg skal bli flinkere til å skrive ned denslags.

Du burde definitivt se Syv samuraier. Den er strålende. Vi har den på dvd, så du kan låne den av oss.

Jeg likte Sibylla, egentlig. Det er sjelden du får så analytiske kvinnekarakterer som i DeWitt. Jeg sier det med basis i to hele bøker, men likevel.
