Competition with yourself, then. Darth_Katie Send a noteboard - 15/12/2010 03:52:13 AM
not "competition". The one suggests something you do to challenge yourself, the other competing against others.

Nitpicking, perhaps, but the distinction is quite important to me.


Fair enough. :)

2011: a year of RAFO challenges. Rebekah - 13/12/2010 10:45:30 PM 2631 Views
What do we win? *NM* Tavi - 13/12/2010 10:59:45 PM 956 Views
Pride? A feeling of accomplishment? Rebekah - 13/12/2010 11:01:55 PM 1424 Views
Seems worth it. ? - 16/12/2010 09:51:48 PM 1450 Views

I refuse to watch film versions of books if I can help it Larry - 14/12/2010 01:20:21 AM 1452 Views
I generally agree, but sometimes the movies are better than the books. *NM* ranagrande - 14/12/2010 01:27:44 AM 863 Views
Most of my favorite books are unfilmable. *NM* Larry - 14/12/2010 01:40:04 AM 844 Views
Just like Watchmen! *NM* Craig - 14/12/2010 02:46:14 AM 844 Views
Yup. Darth_Katie - 14/12/2010 04:06:14 AM 1479 Views
I never watched that. Cockatiel of Doom - 19/12/2010 01:12:19 AM 1558 Views
You are a lucky lady. Darth_Katie - 19/12/2010 03:53:30 AM 1614 Views

I'll name a dozen. ranagrande - 14/12/2010 10:32:04 AM 1527 Views
Not all of those are valid choices. Tom - 14/12/2010 03:32:55 PM 1540 Views
Also Big Fish. Craig - 14/12/2010 08:02:07 PM 1625 Views
I prefer the book version of that, by the way Larry - 14/12/2010 10:45:54 PM 1553 Views
Weird. *NM* Craig - 15/12/2010 05:47:21 AM 851 Views
Lots of poor movies there Larry - 14/12/2010 10:48:59 PM 1476 Views
Yeah, I don't know how any movie could be as bad as that book. *NM* BlackAdder - 15/12/2010 08:06:20 AM 1008 Views

Seems nice, I will try to do the half-dozen challange *NM* ursidae - 14/12/2010 07:32:20 PM 992 Views
This is a really good idea. I like the challenges. I wonder if I can be arsed to do one. Or more. *NM* M & M Maddy - 14/12/2010 08:23:42 PM 990 Views
Question: Can books count for multiple challenges? *NM* Great Lord of Chaos - 14/12/2010 09:34:28 PM 932 Views
Preferably not. But we can be tolerant if you're running out of time. Rebekah - 14/12/2010 09:49:26 PM 1430 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 1460 Views

Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian? Larry - 15/12/2010 01:08:04 PM 1644 Views
I liked The Road and No Country For Old Men as well. Jessie - 22/12/2010 06:23:23 PM 1513 Views
Is The Road really a western, though? *NM* Legolas - 22/12/2010 10:30:44 PM 894 Views
true. Not so much, I just always pigeonhole McCarthy as a westernish writer. *NM* Jessie - 25/12/2010 02:20:54 AM 791 Views
Karl May? Legolas - 15/12/2010 07:27:03 PM 1586 Views
