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.
2011: a year of RAFO challenges.

I generally agree, but sometimes the movies are better than the books. *NM*

Yeah, I don't know how any movie could be as bad as that book. *NM*

This is a really good idea. I like the challenges. I wonder if I can be arsed to do one. Or more. *NM*

Question: Can books count for multiple challenges? *NM*

Preferably not. But we can be tolerant if you're running out of time.

But the challenge-books can count towards the 50 and the book you'd been meaning to read.

I liked The Road and No Country For Old Men as well.

Is The Road really a western, though? *NM*

true. Not so much, I just always pigeonhole McCarthy as a westernish writer. *NM*
