If you are wondering about readers who keep lists of the books they've read, I'd say that's a great thing for readers of any age to do. You don't need to have a particular goal for how many books you read of any certain kind, just the act of writing down the date you finished and the title and the author (with or without any further comments) gives you an interesting record for reflection or for memory jogging.<BR/><BR/>If you mean by lists "lists of award winners" then the kinds of readers who make it a habit to read books that are on the award lists are reading what some people believe to be among the best books published in that category. Seems like a good way to weed out some of the dross. If you agree with the choices of the people who made the list, that is. And if you don't, well, you are a THINKING reader! Hooray for that!Mary Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09078793537148794310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-1136992451459266342006-01-11T10:14:00.000-05:002006-01-11T10:14:00.000-05:00And so, would a graphic novel even be considered a...And so, would a graphic novel even be considered a good book?
