Just to let you know in this group, I am currently one book short of my 250. The full thread of books read this year is here:

#250 The Castle - Franz Kafka
Completing my 250 book challenge again this year, this meandering battle with bureaucracy by Kafka. Unfinished as it was, I have to forgive the book for being a little long winded at times, and - of course - its lack of an ending. The reported intended ending of the book can be found on Wikipedia.
The book is a disturbing one though - especially in light of later events in Nazi Germany, some of which is anticipated in Kafka's work.

I was given book 3 of these for Christmas, which is annoying because now I have to read books 1 and 2. Book 1 is a good enough read that will be of interest to young adults, and in some ways reminded me of Fungus the Bogeyman (although aficionados of the series will throw up their hands in horror at that comparison I think).
Now I am reading Skulduggery Pleasant, as recommended by my nephew. So far very enjoyable... I may or may not finish it before midnight. If I do I will have read one more book than last year.

#252 Skulduggery Pleasant
Last book for the year. This was a fun story of a detective who is in fact an animated Skeleton, and an 11 year old girl who becomes his associate. It is a story of magic and ancient artefacts as well as murder and other dastardly deeds. Perfect for approximately 11 year olds, and perhaps reminiscent of Anthony Horowitz. Nevertheless it is neither deep nor fantastically original. A good fun read though.
