I'm going for the dirty nap challenge *NM* random thoughts Send a noteboard - 18/01/2018 10:41:42 PM

View original postLong ago in the year 2005 wotmaniacs began a 50 book a year challenge. It's something I have continued, with success most years and some shortfalls - namely last year when I rediscovered the joys of Civilization V. It also has come in handy as I have a lovely Word document listing every book I have read since 2005 (before 2005 I have a list going back to 1999 in paper form).


View original postSo anyone else still doing this 50 book challenge? Anyone else remember it? Obviously many of you are married and stuff (stuff=little people creation) so I understand your reading hours are not as prolific as before.


View original postMaybe we should resurrect it! I know reddit has a 52 book challenge but 50 is a nicer, rounder number.
