50 Book Challenge, 49/50

[alexmegami]

41. Stuff White People Like: The Definitive Guide to the Unique Taste of Millions, Christian Lander (2008)

Jeremy: definitely the wrong kind of white person
Alex: somewhat white
Patrick: fifty-fifty - where he is white, he is an advanced white person
Meagan: really damn white. ;)

(What you have to understand, and which I don't think Jeremy quite gets :P, is that it's not really "white people". It's that certain subset of urban liberal trust fund yoga-loving hippy-yuppie fusions. You know... Meagan. ;) <3)

42. Eats, Shoots & Leaves: Illustrated Edition, Lynne Truss (2003/2008)

43. Troilus and Cressida, William Shakespeare (1609)

44. Henry IV Part 2, William Shakespeare (1600)

45. Henry V, William Shakespeare (1600)

46. Henry VI Part 1, William Shakespeare (1598)

47. Henry VI Part 2, William Shakespeare (1594)

48. Henry VI Part 3, William Shakespeare (1595)

49. King John, William Shakespeare (1623)

Well, given that I have eight seven six five four three two one book to go and three two one day to do it in, I think we can probably consider this year a write-off I might actually finish this damn thing!.

Full list of goals here.

I think you should find five short kids' books and meet your goal. ;)

The frustrating part is that I'm 3/4 of the way through Gordon Korman's latest, Schooled, and Amazon can't get it to me for another THREE WEEKS.

However, I have seven left and seven Shakespeare plays left, so... *hunkers down to read a lot of histories*

This. I was going to say something about breaking out the old Babysitters Club books--you could probably get through one of those in an hour to an hour and a half.

omg i saw that stuff white ppl like book and was totally gonna read it...now with this commentary, i believe it is a must-read, if not for any purposes other than to ridicule said "urban liberal trust fund yoga-loving hippy-yuppie fusions"!

[alexmegami]

You should totally read it.

[alexmegami]

That said, you could always just go to the blog. ;)

[alexmegami]

I just finished the SWPL blog and have assessed my White People-osity. I got 42 out 120 making me 35% white, so where does that leave me in the mix?

[alexmegami]

Probably in with Jeremy as the Wrong King of White Person.

Y'know there are worse places I could be. ^_^
