Since I made my goal of 110 this year... with time to spare 
Hi Rafonauts
We've decided to set a few challenges for people to complete in 2011. Details for each are below.
The beauty of these challenges is that you get to choose your own books within the set parameters. If you'd like suggestions for books within genres just ask.
We'll do update posts every two months (you'll see why below
) so you can tell everyone how you're getting on!
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.
Genre Challenge
Quite simply, just read one book from each of the genres below before the year is out. Rereads are allowed; it's up to you whether you choose all new books or not. I probably won't.
- Historical Fiction/Alternative History
- Western
- Horror
- Mystery
- (Auto-) Biography
- History
- Family chronicle
- Allegory/parody/satire
- Surrealist novel
- Extra option for those who can: a novel in a foreign language
this one's for me!
