Well, now that we have a new site, I thought I'd put up a link for any new folks who wander in, and a reminder for all the folks who have already become acquainted with the Challenge over the years. 
Simply put - the 50-Book Challenge is a group of people who have decided to read fifty books in one year. That's it! No tricks, no hoops to jump through - it's easy as lyin'. Make your own rules.
Personally, I make it a point to read fifty books a year that I've never read before. I still keep track of the other books I read, but I don't count them towards my end-of-year total (though I do still keep a total page-count, for funsies). So far this year I'm at 30 new books and 10 rereads, for a page count of 17,201.
Anyway, below is a link to the Livejournal group that started it all. Hop on in!
