GK86 - 1/50 Books | 210/50 Movies

That was my tally for the 2015 challenge. I'm definitely won't be watching that many movies for 2016. I didn't watch as many tv shows as I would have liked, in order to watch as many movies as possible. I will also be reading way, way more. One is pitiful.

Does anybody have any good Audible recommendations? Still going through One Summer: America 1927 by Bill Bryson. It's really good. I try to stick to sci-fi (the Thrawn trilogy was amazing) but I'm branching out.
The Discworld audio books are pretty good! Start off as strictly fantasy satire but end up being just amazing stories with awesome characters.

I'm gonna give this a try. I've hardly read any books in the past few years, it'd be nice to get back into reading.
Movies, I'm pretty sure I do more than that already.

Latest: The Big Short - My GF wanted a few hours to ourselves (both my parents are visiting right now). It was between Hateful Eight and The Big Short, and I'm actually happy that we chose The Big Short. One down at the start of the year, ain't bad.

In.

I can do 50 movies no problem, but doing 50 books is unprecedented for me. If I could do 1 book a month I would be very happy. I plan to track them at least.

I don't necessarily think I'll make it but it could be a good incentive to not use browsing the Internet as a default for unwinding time.

Does anyone know a good rule of thumb for counting volumes of manga? I'd guess between 3 and 6 considering it generally takes me less than an hour to read one volume.

I don't count them as books - personal preference, not a rule - but I've liked the idea of counting them by major story arcs. And if you take advantage of the "500 pages can be counted as up to two books" idea, you could count exceptionally long (say 10 - 15+ volumes) story arcs as two.

Do Audiobooks count? Im serious, I listen to alot of audiobooks because im often not in a position to read, and my eyes are terrible. I listen to audiobooks while walking, the gym and various other places.

For movies what about Netflix series? I'm about to start the marco polo one. 10 - 1hr episodes seems like its a epic film.
