When I did my 200 books project, one of the books was the 1500 page+ collection of George Orwell's essays and one was the heavily illustrated 80-ish page "Sleeping Beauty". <br /><br />I think a balanced list is important (definitely shouldn't be all YA titles) but there is some leeway for interesting, unusual, and short books.Mandihttp://www.200books.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604938.post-50783617296800783202010-03-08T12:36:01.123-08:002010-03-08T12:36:01.123-08:00It definitely counts!

There are too many wonderful and thought-provoking graphic novels out there that have very few words that wouldn't be counted if they have to be "read".Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01739982274914536036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604938.post-89069148251713381282010-03-08T00:27:49.566-08:002010-03-08T00:27:49.566-08:00Eva,

Thanks for your input.<br /><br />Rubycanary,<br />I like how you couldn't hold your convictions to just one comment. Yay and you're absolutely rtight about the ESL teacher thing.<br /><br />Eva,<br />Good point about the photography books. I'll tell Faulkner Guy what you said.<br /><br />Jeane,<br />I like "books absorbed" better than "books consumed".

ZOOM counts! It definitely should go on the books read list. It's a wonderful little book (isn't there a sequel called Re-Zoom, or am I making that up?), and I used it for a favorite writing lesson in the 6th grade.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01857602206725562335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604938.post-57315038963146095952010-03-06T05:57:03.568-08:002010-03-06T05:57:03.568-08:00Maybe you could call it "books absorbed"...Maybe you could call it "books absorbed".

I read three photography books last year, which were mainly photographs with just a few captions, and I included them too. Otherwise, how would I remember that I'd read them that year?!<br /><br />Although, I must say, I'm not tempted to rename it 'Books Consumed,' because that verb sounds stronger and altogether so much closer to what I do with books.Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703372903532502944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604938.post-19646442335183292272010-03-05T23:49:22.758-08:002010-03-05T23:49:22.758-08:00Time shouldn't count either.

Books consumed. It is in book form and the author conveyed some sort of meaning that you interpreted - isn't that what us ESL teachers are always emphasizing, it's your ability to communicate meaning, not accuracy that is important. :)<br /><br />Books eaten for lunch?
