You may be cool, but are you Century Club cool?
It’s time to meet more of the coolest readers in SouthCoast.
Each year, I challenge SouthCoasters to read 100 books to make my BookLovers Century Club. Reading 25-49 books would qualify you for the Quarter-Century Club, and 50-99 books, the Half-Century Club.
We’ve met members of all tiers in recent weeks. If you missed your neighbors’ mention, or your own, follow me on Twitter and Facebook to catch up. (Print readers: both links are listed at the end of this column!)
I want to jump right in now to mention as many readers as possible…
Well, it’s been a year since last Sunday.
But I come to you my friends with the one constant in this chaotic world of ours: Books.
And one thing that always brightens my world and fills my heart: getting your lists. My inbox runneth over.
Each year, I challenge SouthCoast BookLovers to read 100 books in a year to make my BookLovers Century Club. Reading 25-49 books would qualify you for the Quarter-Century Club, and 50-99 books, the Half-Century Club. (Yes, audiobooks count.)
We’ve broken our own record for 8 years now, and I’m thrilled to announce that once again, we have a record year. You are all the best part of 2020.
This is what local journalism is all about.

Each year, our Club grows. I am one lucky columnist.
Remember: this isn’t a competition. It’s not about the numbers.
This is about the act of reading every day. Of losing yourself in good books and expanding your mind.
If you’re reading every day, it doesn’t matter if you get 25 books or 300…Yes, we have Triple Century Club Members. No, I’m not one. Nowhere near. I read 70 books this year, and am a proud Half Century Club member.
