I think you missed a trick here. Michael Send a noteboard - 30/12/2010 09:19:20 AM
I love the idea of these challenges as part of and alternative to the fifty books one, but you should also have challenged people to post a review.

I know I have only done one, but it was a worthwhile exercise and it gives people something to look at...
The Monday Cafe - open when I damn well feel like it

I blame Alric

Competition with yourself, then. Darth_Katie - 15/12/2010 03:52:13 AM 1246 Views
I refuse to watch film versions of books if I can help it Larry - 14/12/2010 01:20:21 AM 1184 Views
I generally agree, but sometimes the movies are better than the books. *NM* ranagrande - 14/12/2010 01:27:44 AM 703 Views
Most of my favorite books are unfilmable. *NM* Larry - 14/12/2010 01:40:04 AM 680 Views
Just like Watchmen! *NM* Craig - 14/12/2010 02:46:14 AM 677 Views
Yup. Darth_Katie - 14/12/2010 04:06:14 AM 1220 Views
I never watched that. Cockatiel of Doom - 19/12/2010 01:12:19 AM 1291 Views

Not all of those are valid choices. Tom - 14/12/2010 03:32:55 PM 1279 Views
Also Big Fish. Craig - 14/12/2010 08:02:07 PM 1354 Views
I prefer the book version of that, by the way Larry - 14/12/2010 10:45:54 PM 1266 Views
Weird. *NM* Craig - 15/12/2010 05:47:21 AM 681 Views
Lots of poor movies there Larry - 14/12/2010 10:48:59 PM 1209 Views

Question: Can books count for multiple challenges? *NM* Great Lord of Chaos - 14/12/2010 09:34:28 PM 770 Views
Preferably not. But we can be tolerant if you're running out of time. Rebekah - 14/12/2010 09:49:26 PM 1186 Views
But the challenge-books can count towards the 50 and the book you'd been meaning to read. Legolas - 14/12/2010 10:17:12 PM 1162 Views
Re: But the challenge-books can count towards the 50 and the book you'd been meaning to read. Rebekah - 14/12/2010 10:22:06 PM 1219 Views
So... Kaldric - 15/12/2010 04:13:27 PM 1458 Views
A single book can count for many things... Jacob - 15/12/2010 04:17:59 PM 1315 Views

I liked The Road and No Country For Old Men as well. Jessie - 22/12/2010 06:23:23 PM 1251 Views
Is The Road really a western, though? *NM* Legolas - 22/12/2010 10:30:44 PM 730 Views
true. Not so much, I just always pigeonhole McCarthy as a westernish writer. *NM* Jessie - 25/12/2010 02:20:54 AM 626 Views
Karl May? Legolas - 15/12/2010 07:27:03 PM 1330 Views

Re: <will watch interestedly as you play> Danae al'Thor - 16/12/2010 12:22:54 PM 1213 Views
I think you should try to do one challenge now issued by myself Larry - 16/12/2010 01:07:18 PM 1236 Views
Re: If I can afford it, then of course I'll read it. Danae al'Thor - 17/12/2010 12:35:02 PM 1273 Views

I think you missed a trick here. Michael - 30/12/2010 09:19:20 AM 1310 Views
I think that one is always understood. *NM* Camilla - 30/12/2010 09:36:38 AM 771 Views
I don't think it is. Michael - 30/12/2010 04:20:41 PM 1157 Views
