2010 Media Log

I've seen these on some other fora and on some folks' journals, and I feel like having one right here.

basically post the month and the titles of the media you consumed that month (movies, television shows, books, video games, . . . newspapers? idk) The idea is that you will have one post in the whole thread that you will keep updated. Maybe you will be surprised how much you read in a year, or how many movies you watch. Perhaps we should limit the music to albums that are new to you, since it's very easy to listen to one cd a dozen times in just a couple of weeks. Do as you like, however.

I think that's a really good idea! I see people do this with anime, but I never made one since I don't watch enough anime by any means to do that.

This is probably a good idea. Maybe it'll inspire me to finish more books. I'm not even going to bother trying to list all the huge amount of music I listen to though; just see my Last.fm, which I try to keep as complete as possible (I have over 110,000 tracks played on it in slightly over four years of membership).

Lots of Pynchon, DeLillo and Gaddis which I need to start back up on. I kind of got side-tracked into "fun" sci-fi as you can probably tell. I see Rye mentioned Italo Calvino; I also need to get some of his work, as well as Nabokov's. Then again I already have far too many books I haven't read yet.

I recommend starting with Se una notte d'inverno un viaggiatore "If on a Winter's Night a Traveler... It is startling amazing. It definitely strikes a note similar to Nabokov's more unusual things. It's somewhat similar in premise to Nabokov's Pale Fire. Without spoiling, (as it says this on the back of the book), If on a Winter's Night a traveler... is basically about the character (only named as He-Reader or in the pages, "You") who is trying to read a book. It's freaking bizarre and fantastic. I'm only about 50 pages in, and I'm already in love, even though it's a bit hard to keep up with.

As for Nabokov, Lolita is the obvious first one to try, but I'd recommend An Invitation to a Beheading if you like dystopian literature.

Fun idea!

Thanks for the recommendations. I was probably going to start with IoaWNaT anyway, so it's good to hear that it's as good as I was expecting it to be.

With Nabokov I was thinking I'd either start with Lolita or Pale Fire (I love metafiction when it's done right), but thanks for mentioning An Invitation to a Beheading; I'll probably check that out as well. His volumes are usually pretty slender if I remember correctly so hopefully I'll be able to try them all.

Also I'm probably going to reread The Catcher and the Rye and A People's History of the United States now since their respective authors just died. Haven't started doing so yet though.

"Also I'm probably going to reread The Catcher and the Rye and A People's History of the United States now since their respective authors just died. Haven't started doing so yet though."

I'd also add "Nine Stories" to that as I enjoyed it more than Catcher.

I'll have to do this sometime. Been too busy to really take in much but I'll add to this sometime soon.

Take care all.

It's a different take on the family sitcom. It's about 3 families: a 'traditional group' with mom/dad/3 kids, a gay couple with an adopted baby, and an older man who remarried a young Columbian (who has a son). It's like a cross between Arrested Development and The Office and it's hilarious.

New month *^_^* We're almost halfway done, everyone!

Seems that most of us can't sick with it. Boo.

I ran out of room in mine too so I just replaced the star ratings with :up: and :down:. xP

I honestly haven't finished anything since then :| my life is barren.

Just updated mine, so at least I'm still doing it! :elk:

@ Rubah you should remove the redundant month in your spoiler tag, like for the last month.

Man I suck at this. I wanted to keep it up all year too. Oh well, let's try for 2011!

I had mine kept up until my harddrive died and I lost it. :/ It was in a Notepad file. I had like 20 books read!
