20 Books, 20 Films

This year, I'm going to read 20 books and watch 20 films. In truth, I may (I hope) I read and watch more than that, but I'm making a concentrated effort for this particular list. Here are the guidelines:

Books
2 memoirs (M)
3 religious in nature (R)
1 new release (NR)
1 Oprah's book list (O)
10 fiction (I don't read enough fiction) (F)

List
1. My Name Is Red ~ Orhan Pamuk (F)
2. Einstein's Dreams (F)
3. The Fault in Our Stars (F)
4. Being Both (M, R)
5. The Screwtape Letters (R, F)
6. Song of Ice & Fire(F) - book 1
7. book 2 (F)
8. book 3 (F)
9. book 4 (F)
10. book 5 (F)


Movies
3 documentaries (D)
2 foreign films (FF)
1 IMAX (I)

List
1. 127 Hours
2. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
3. Food, Inc (D)


Feel free to add suggestions. I think I'll knock out a bunch of my requirements pretty quickly.

  1. Song of Ice and Fire is really good, but really long. I think the five took me 3 - 4 months of constant reading to get through.

  2. I was thinking about that. I'll give it a go, though.
