WOW, 800 episodes is a lot. As are 50 books. I'm a fast reader and I only increased the number to 40. If you really achieve all this, you're my hero. ;)

[chibi-tenshi24.livejournal.com]

Movies: The ones that stand out in my mind are Thank You for Smoking (which is ridiculously brilliant), Stranger than Fiction, and Stardust. Just off the top of my head. There are others I really like but it depends on what you like watching.

[ladysilverangel.livejournal.com]

I could probably handle this if I could rewatch/reread stuff... or didn't have a full time job.

Good luck!! Go for gold!

[aoife-hime.livejournal.com]

Movies: A Dog's Breakfast and Enchanted (with Amy Adams & Patrick Dempsey) come to mind right away, and I second the person that mentioned Stardust.

Books: Stardust by Neil Gaimon (because as fun as the movie is, the book is better), all of The Dresden Files books (I think there are nine of them right now) by Jim Butcher, and I've started The Book of Joby by Mark J. Ferrari and so far I'm hooked by the concept and the beautiful writing. I don't know how it ends or even what the middle is like, but it seems good enough thus far to merit a recommendation!

TV: Somehow I think you'll manage 800 episodes of TV without any help... ;)

[datnetie.livejournal.com]

50 books? Wouldn't dream of achieving that ^^
20 movies? Well I try my 150 this year ^^ I know - I'm nuts ^^
800 eps? Could work. But for now I'm just aiming at 500 - can raise the bar anytime, can't I ;) Even though I count any ep I see this year. Cause I know I tend to rewatch lots and lotsa stuff *sighs* I think I could watch B5 again ^^

And maybe I'm recommending stuff as I watch it myself ^^

Ooo I'm going to have to give this a go. Although, the tv episodes will be significantly smaller. With the writer's strike we won't be getting many new episodes.

[honeybearbee.livejournal.com]

I'm doing the 50 books, but I might try the 20 movies and 800 tv episodes.

[atromiti.livejournal.com]

Some book recs:

-The Vorkosigan Saga, by Louis McMaster Bujold. I swear, these books are like catnip. One thing: I suggest skipping the prequels, Shards of Honor and Barrayar, until after you've gotten into the series.

-A Planet Called Treason, by Orson Scott Card.

-Anything by David Sedaris. That man is a genius.

Oh, very interesting meme:)
I love your TV preferences:)
I wonder if I could do that...:)
Happy belated New Years!<3
