Here's the challenge: To read 111 books by 11/11/11.
The idea is to push yourself to read things you wouldn't normally read. Make a list of kinds of books you plan to read. For example--here are some of the things I put on my list last year:
ETA: I actually have just decided to make this a way to read all of the wonderful books I have sitting here around my house. I have a TON to read, so this is the perfect reason to get them all read and either keep the ones I LOVE and donate the ones that were good, but I don't need to keep or have the space to keep. I do also use bookmooch so many will go up on there once read. This should actually kill two birds with one stone. :)
