So... Kaldric Send a noteboard - 15/12/2010 04:13:27 PM
I would be discouraged from picking up Gulliver's Travels to get

The Not-So-Dirty Half Dozen Challenge.

The Tasks:
1. Read a work of Classic literature - one you've never read before.
5. Read a book and then watch a film of that book (again, you can have read the book before).

Genre Challenge

- Allegory/parody/satire
The 50 Book Challenge.


It's a good time for you to pick up a book you've been meaning to read for ages.

Competition with yourself, then. - 15/12/2010 03:52:13 AM 1171 Views
I refuse to watch film versions of books if I can help it - 14/12/2010 01:20:21 AM 1102 Views
I generally agree, but sometimes the movies are better than the books. *NM* - 14/12/2010 01:27:44 AM 663 Views
Most of my favorite books are unfilmable. *NM* - 14/12/2010 01:40:04 AM 637 Views
Just like Watchmen! *NM* - 14/12/2010 02:46:14 AM 628 Views
Yup. - 14/12/2010 04:06:14 AM 1148 Views

Also Big Fish. - 14/12/2010 08:02:07 PM 1268 Views
I prefer the book version of that, by the way - 14/12/2010 10:45:54 PM 1178 Views
Weird. *NM* - 15/12/2010 05:47:21 AM 636 Views
Lots of poor movies there - 14/12/2010 10:48:59 PM 1131 Views
Yeah, I don't know how any movie could be as bad as that book. *NM* - 15/12/2010 08:06:20 AM 778 Views

Question: Can books count for multiple challenges? *NM* - 14/12/2010 09:34:28 PM 725 Views
Preferably not. But we can be tolerant if you're running out of time. - 14/12/2010 09:49:26 PM 1100 Views
So... - 15/12/2010 04:13:27 PM 1371 Views
A single book can count for many things... - 15/12/2010 04:17:59 PM 1233 Views

Dirty half dozen and genre challenges for me - 17/12/2010 12:14:00 PM 1135 Views
I think that would definitely qualify. - 17/12/2010 09:07:28 PM 1187 Views
Re: I think that would definitely qualify. - 20/12/2010 12:45:42 AM 1175 Views

I think you missed a trick here. - 30/12/2010 09:19:20 AM 1218 Views
I think that one is always understood. *NM* - 30/12/2010 09:36:38 AM 736 Views
I don't think it is. - 30/12/2010 04:20:41 PM 1074 Views
