Blood Bowl: The Novel
After commenting on the forum whether or not anyone had read the Forbeck novel(s), i was impressed by the replies; and also - perhaps more so - the difference in opinion given. Admittedly, most were negative: comments on the lack of actual blood bowl being frequent.
As i've made it my quest to read as many books as i can over the forthcoming year (July 2009-July 2010), Blood Bowl: The Novel has been on my hit-list. I've given it a review on my blog for all book-reading:

If anyone would like to comment, feel free. Needless to say, it has recieved my lowest rating so far!

Must admit, the novels were a pretty poor effort.

i'm at around 130 books a year for ages.
scientific books take longer, though. good luck in your quest, writing reviews on each of them is some more involvement then. i recommend thrillers and detective stories :-)
if the story is exciting, you finish books much faster. authors i recommend would be john sandford(l. davenport series), John T. Lescroart(dismas hardy&co.), gwendoline butler (john coffin) as well as tess gerritsen and louise penny, maybe anne perry too(if you like historic stuff)
i'll read your reviews later, too late for it now.

130 books a year is quite a large deal! The main incentive was to read the stacks and piles of books i've accumulated over the past 3 years whilst doing my degree. Was great reading for my studies - History & English Literature - but feels wonderful to have that freedom again to pick what i want. When i get to the end of the piles, then i will read a couple of thrillers as suggested. Gotta keep the eyes burning (or, possibly eroding).
