I think we can accept that. Legolas Send a noteboard - 17/12/2010 09:05:55 PM
Can I start a book that fits within one of the categories for the challenge a little before the new year as long as I finish it in January?

Would that be cheating?

Don't forget that the real point of all these challenges is to have interesting content discussions on the board in the coming year. :P Whether you start the book in December or in January is really quite immaterial for that.

I refuse to watch film versions of books if I can help it Larry - 14/12/2010 01:20:21 AM 1518 Views
I generally agree, but sometimes the movies are better than the books. *NM* ranagrande - 14/12/2010 01:27:44 AM 917 Views
Most of my favorite books are unfilmable. *NM* Larry - 14/12/2010 01:40:04 AM 878 Views
Just like Watchmen! *NM* Craig - 14/12/2010 02:46:14 AM 890 Views

Also Big Fish. Craig - 14/12/2010 08:02:07 PM 1712 Views

Lots of poor movies there Larry - 14/12/2010 10:48:59 PM 1540 Views

Question: Can books count for multiple challenges? *NM* Great Lord of Chaos - 14/12/2010 09:34:28 PM 965 Views
Preferably not. But we can be tolerant if you're running out of time. Rebekah - 14/12/2010 09:49:26 PM 1489 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 1525 Views

Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian? Larry - 15/12/2010 01:08:04 PM 1714 Views
I liked The Road and No Country For Old Men as well. Jessie - 22/12/2010 06:23:23 PM 1595 Views
Is The Road really a western, though? *NM* Legolas - 22/12/2010 10:30:44 PM 923 Views
true. Not so much, I just always pigeonhole McCarthy as a westernish writer. *NM* Jessie - 25/12/2010 02:20:54 AM 819 Views
Karl May? Legolas - 15/12/2010 07:27:03 PM 1657 Views
