I read about this challenge over on Stephanie's blog, and I just couldn't pass it up. Besides, I'm not in nearly as many challenges as other bloggers I know of, so therefore I do not have a problem (that's what we're going with).

Here's the deal:
The goal of this challenge is to read 10 books in 10 months from the 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die list. For you non-math people, 10 out of 1001 is approximately 1%, hence the title. The challenge will run from May 1, 2008 through February 28, 2009. You may change your list at any time and cross-posting to other challenges is permitted. The only requirement is that your ten book choices must be on the ‘1001 List‘. Go here to sign up.
After checking the list, turns out I've read 61 already, which sounds like a lot to me except that it's only 6.09% of the total and, based on actuarial tables, I'll need to read 21 a year to finish before I die. Hmmm. But it also turns out that 7 book from my other challenges are on the list, so that's something. Can't decide if I want to count them toward this challenge or pick a brand new set of 10 -- I'll think about it and post my choices later.
