It's the beginning of July and I'm at 24, so that looks good for the 50 books.

- a graphic novel, a play or a collection of poetry you've not read before.
That shouldn't be too difficult... maybe some Tennessee Williams, or one of the many Shakespeares I still need to read. Or poetry.
- Historical Fiction/Alternative History
Got several books read for this one, the best fit is probably Scott's Waverley, though. (See my profile for more details on the books mentioned here.)
- Western
Read Blood Meridian.
- Horror
Still need to find one for that...
- Mystery
And that.
- (Auto-) Biography
Read Anthony Summers' biography of Marilyn Monroe, and (the first part of) Castelot's biography of Napoleon Bonaparte.
- History
Haven't really read anything for that yet, either, unless you count natural history.
- Family chronicle
Still need to find one.
- Allegory/parody/satire
Vanity Fair should count.
- Surrealist novel
Read Vineland.
- Extra option for those who can: a novel in a foreign language
I'm not counting French and English, while Arabic is probably too ambitious, so I'll try to read one in Spanish or German, I guess.
And we're halfway through the year now. If you're doing a 50 Book Challenge or similar, how are you getting on?
See above.

Hmm. Does anyone have any suggestions for graphic novels that are not Moore or Gaiman?
