The players: Cecilia and Joseph, two crazy academics on a mission to rescue their love of books from the internet and academia.
The plan: At least a book a week for 52 weeks.

glad to have bumped into you two, on the internet of all places. i support your Plan and am thankful there are still some of us out there. most days working at a bookstore helps me, but even there i am afraid to have to admit-people care not so much to read but to be enabled.
my wish, hope and prayer is that paper never ever goes out of style. this way books at least hang on, as a dying breed.
I’m excited! Can’t wait to see what you’re reading and see if I can follow along. I’ll take it as my own challenge, without the blogging. Thanks.
Yep, count me in! Nice meeting the two of you, and all who share your love of books (which includes letal950 & Rhae!).
That’s an ambitious goal, but an admirable one! I’m also trying to promote a love of being well-read on my blog. The Internet is a fantastic resource that I’m eager to use, but it can never replace a true, physical book in my heart. I’m convinced there is an inherent benefit in the tangible written word that digital media lacks, and someday I hope to be able to express exactly what that is.
