    What's a challenge if it isn't a challenge? ;)

    Speaking of saving time, can anyone recommend a good trilogy that is not too time consuming?

    Read one my mum loves in West-running Brook by Robert Frost. So what if it's a collection in a collection of collections, IT'S STILL A COLLECTION!

    My goal this year was to read my height in books, but this seems like something I can do at the same time.

    Anyone got a few check marks already?

    I've got nine so far, but I'm also letting one book tick multiple boxes.

    What counts as a banned book? Must it be banned by the government, or does a library ban suffice? :)

    EVERYTHING I'd say! Even if it was banned by your family: "You are not allowed to read that book Komposten, it will corrupt you!" :p

    Read it now :agreed:

    I'm going to take this challenge, but I don't see myself finishing the whole list. I'm hoping to finish at least half.

    24/50. Have to say that I thought I would be further along by now, but there's still lots of time left. Now is when it gets more challenging and I have to read books I wouldn't normally go for.
