In honor of all the serious authors who make it on these ever increasingly popular parody news shows

The Daily Show is a Peabody and Emmy Award-winning half-hour American comical news television program produced by and run on the Comedy Central cable television network. It has been touted the sharpest political commentary shows on American television.

The Colbert Report is an American satirical television program on Comedy Central that stars comedian Stephen Colbert. It is a spinoff and counterpart of The Daily Show. The Report critiques politics and the media, but focuses on the commentary of Colbert's anchorman character, a right-wing "well-intentioned, poorly informed, high-status idiot" who is inspired by cable news personalities, particularly Bill O'Reilly.

50 Book Challenge! 4688 books / 4689 members / 31137 posts Welcome to the 50-Book Challenge! We are not listless. In fact, we love lists ...

A list of the books we've been looking forward to, for example, can be found by following this link:

http://astore.amazon.com/allencotrip-20

Our challenge is to read 50 books in one year. OR ... establish a goal for yourself more or less, it's up to you, just because we say 50 books doesn't mean that has to be your goal too.

To join, all you need to do is start a thread, WITH YOUR NAME IN THE SUBJECT OF YOUR ORIGINAL POST, and log your books (with title and author, please.) Reviews are always welcome as well. It is a very good idea to bookmark your post (when in your post, add it to your internet browser's favorites)for quick access for future updates. Things move quickly around here.

If you haven't been keeping track of the books you've read, start when you join.

I enjoy reading your lists, and my TBR pile has grown as a result and I've read books I wouldn't have otherwise (The Hunger Games, I'm talking to you ...)

It doesn't have to be all lists all the time, though ... People enjoy it when you comment on their lists as well, so when you update your list ... take a minute and browse around. You never know what you might find. (Water For Elephants, I'm talking to you.)

I survey the group each year starting in mid-December, until about mid-January then compile the lists and post the results. I look forward to this year's lists, now that the Twilight fervor has died down.

Thanks for being here and have fun. If you have any suggestions or questions, feel free to contact me.

* P E A C E * 84 books / 253 members / 88 posts 21 Oct. Day of Peace

There seems to be little hope
in a world of violence today
Wars, hate and so much crime
seem to vanish all hope away

Beyond the shadows of darkness
is a light brightly shining beyond
It's a sweet and gentle love
reflecting upon life's golden pond

Far beyond the skies above
there's much to look forward to
A hope of eternal life to all
when this life will again be new

Wishing You Peace
