The Not-So-Dirty Half Dozen Challenge.

The Rules:

Every two months you must complete a task. You'll have all of those two months to complete each task. (Thus Task One is for January and February, Task Two is for March and April, etc.) We reserve the right to change one of the tasks when we make the first post on 1 January 2011, but we promise it won't be the first task.

So.

The Tasks:

1. Read a work of Classic literature - one you've never read before.

2. Read a book by an author from a country you've not read a book from before.

3. Read one Scifi, one Fantasy and one Spec Fic book (i.e. three separate books, and they can be books you've read before, if you like).

4. Read a graphic novel, a play or a collection of poetry you've not read before.

5. Read a book and then watch a film of that book (again, you can have read the book before).

6. Read a non-fiction book you've not read before.


I will have access to a ton of new books, so I'm fairly sure I can commit to this challenge.

Competition with yourself, then. - 15/12/2010 03:52:13 AM 1281 Views
I refuse to watch film versions of books if I can help it - 14/12/2010 01:20:21 AM 1221 Views
I generally agree, but sometimes the movies are better than the books. *NM* - 14/12/2010 01:27:44 AM 715 Views
Most of my favorite books are unfilmable. *NM* - 14/12/2010 01:40:04 AM 692 Views
Just like Watchmen! *NM* - 14/12/2010 02:46:14 AM 690 Views

Weird. *NM* - 15/12/2010 05:47:21 AM 692 Views
Lots of poor movies there - 14/12/2010 10:48:59 PM 1244 Views

Question: Can books count for multiple challenges? *NM* - 14/12/2010 09:34:28 PM 781 Views
Preferably not. But we can be tolerant if you're running out of time. - 14/12/2010 09:49:26 PM 1212 Views
So... - 15/12/2010 04:13:27 PM 1489 Views
A single book can count for many things... - 15/12/2010 04:17:59 PM 1357 Views

Dirty half dozen and genre challenges for me - 17/12/2010 12:14:00 PM 1258 Views
I think that would definitely qualify. - 17/12/2010 09:07:28 PM 1317 Views
Re: I think that would definitely qualify. - 20/12/2010 12:45:42 AM 1297 Views

I think you missed a trick here. - 30/12/2010 09:19:20 AM 1352 Views
I think that one is always understood. *NM* - 30/12/2010 09:36:38 AM 787 Views
I don't think it is. - 30/12/2010 04:20:41 PM 1193 Views
