Wendy at caribousmom is hosting this fun challenge again this year. The challenge sign-up post is here.
This one runs through January 31, 2011, just like my Battle of the Prizes challenges, the American Version and British Version. Maybe I can coordinate if I find some fat prize winners.
Since I didn't reach my chunkster goal in 2010, I am scaling down a bit in 2011 and signing up for the "Chubby Chunkster" level this year. That means reading four books over 450 pages long.
One idea was Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy. I planned on that one being my "big book" for 2011, but now it looks like that won't happen, so maybe 2012?
My Reviews
The Food of France by Waverley Root (reviewed here)
Cathedral by Nelson DeMille (reviewed here)
NOTE: Last updated on December 3, 2011.
I am about halfway through "ear-reading" A.K. right now, and am happy to report that although it's thick it's also quite accessible and entertaining. (However, if it helps you meet the requirements of the challenge, I'd be willing to testify that it is a grueling challenge in exchange for a modest financial consideration.)
