I like all of the other reading challenges presented thus far, but I think they lack a certain element of ridiculosity. So I've come up with one of my own, to supplement those already in place.
The Rules:
Step 1: Read a book that is published this year.
Steps 2 through ?: Read a book that was published during the birth year of the author of the book you read for the previous step.
To find your score at the end of the year, subtract the year of publication of the book you read for the last step you successfully completed from 2011 and divide by 10. Then add 1 for each step you completed.
It'll be fun.

That sounds interesting, but you could end up reading Gilgamesh. *NM*

I'm thinking the same thing - you'd have a rather hard time finding authors before long. *NM*

I guess if you wanted to get the most mileage out of it you could pick authors who died young. *NM*

I like this one, but I think we need to space these out a little more.

Good challenge. Not sure if I'd be able to do it due to college, but good challenge. *NM*
