Tick one off.

23. (COMPLETE!) Read 1 chapter per day of a book for a month.

Done! As mentioned in a previous post I altered the criteria from a chapter per day to seven per week. Was very enjoyable, I'm loving reading again. In fact I'm frustrated that I can't read quicker - I used to read faster but I found that I really didn't pay attention to alot of the book as a result. If I can up my reading to

Week 1 - 8 Chapters, Horus Heresy: Horus Rising (Dan Abnett). 4 Chapters, Patriot Games (Tom Clancy).
Week 2 - 8 Chapters, Patriot Games (Tom Clancy).
Week 3 - 14 Chapters, Patriot Games (Tom Clancy).
Week 4 - 1 Chapter, Patriot Games (Tom Clancy). 19 Chapters, The Serpent Bride (Sara Douglass).

So I'm hoping that I can read an average book a week (given the time). I've got a couple Sara Douglass and Raymond E Feist books that I'd like to get to as well as a couple of Star Wars novels. Next time I'm hunting through a second hand bookshop I'll be picking up some more Tom Clancy novels, I enjoyed Patriot Games immensely - they are quite cinematic in their delivery and handling of multiple points of view.

I'm also looking at picking up some more the Horus Heresy from Galaxy Books now that they've settled into their new premises.

Number 23 cont.

23. (PROGRESS!) Read 1 chapter per day of a book for a month.

The week just past was filled with a further 8 chapters of Patriot Games (Tom Clancy). That's really all there is to it. I read a few articles in a magazine as well as a bunch of texts for my thesis but that's about all. I'm about halfway through the book now, I am hoping to finish it by the end of this week so that I can power through on catching up on some Sara Douglass that is in desperate need of rereading/actually reading!

Number 23

23. (PROGRESS!) Read 1 chapter per day of a book for a month.

I have altered the criteria for this number slightly. Rather than 1 chapter a day I am making it 7 a week, that way when I simply do no have the time in a particular day I can play catch up during a day that I have more free time.

I have completed 1 week as of yesterday. I read 8 chapters of Horus Heresy: Horus Rising (Dan Abnett) and finished that off I also 4 chapters of Patriot Games (Tom Clancy). I am very much enjoying reading again and it helps to pass the time on various train trips to the mountains and work.

Collection: Awesome

My collection of tees has been growing of late. The AUS dollar cooperating with the US is certainly the main reason for this. The latest addition to my little collection arrived today and I was pretty damn psyched for it.

1. The NES. Nerd Machine.

Thanks to Zachary Levi and his team at the ever wonderful Nerd Machine dot com.

2. Best Buddies. Tee Fury.

Fantastic Calvin & Hobbes interpretation from Australian artist Chris Wahl. Tee Fury may only have their tee's up for 24 hours but you can pick it up from RedBubble.

3. Captain Ahab's Dream. Threadless.

Finally took advantage of Threadless' awesome collection of tee's by many many talented designers arounds the world.

4. Woodchucks. Threadless.

5. Red. Threadless.

6. Extra Pulp. Threadless.

7. Flynn Lives. Ebay.

This one arrived today. This a little long but I'll fix that up. I was searching ebay for this one for a while - I had my eye on a seller in the US who was selling a bunch so I had planned on picking one up through them. Then I came across a cheaper auction which was Sydney-based. One bid, two days and it's mine!

That's it. It also takes care of part of my list.  (22. (COMPLETE) Buy some Threadless tees.)
