The 35
The 35, otherwise known as get-that-damn-shelf-of-books-read challange. This is a private challange between the individual and the books they already have but have not yet read. That's the challange: to get through what you have on hand and not spend money, or bother your local library for books they don't have. I got these books to read at some point, for some reason. And they're just sitting there. Now's the time to rediscover why I bothered in the first place.
What to include, should be mostly what's already in the WWE database. We don't want to overburden them with new requests. Book X, by author Y, which doesn't happen to be in the database, but author Y is, would be fine. As long as it's not your whole list, or even a majority of it. But book 9 in a series of 10, by author Y, who is not in the database, would Not be ok. You see the difference in the amount of work they'd have to do?
And I will allow spots to be reseved for particular award winning books, if we don't know what that book is yet. I read the Hugo, Nebula, and Locus SF winners each year, but I don't know the Nebula winner yet. So a spot gets reserved for it. Once I do know what it is, it'll get added to the shelf.
One book every ten days. Can I do it? Can any of us do it? Can we keep that reading pace up all year? Let's see.
