Reading Challenge

The goal of the challenge is to read books from as many consecutive decades as possible. My goal is to read 15 books published in 15 consecutive decades in 2007. You don't have to choose that many books, though! In fact, my original goal was 10 books in 10 consecutive decades, but I realized my 2007 TBR list made it easy for me to go ahead and do 15.Rules:1. First, there will be a prize--a book of your choosing from Amazon.com that is priced $15.00 or less. Only one (well, possibly more) prize(s) will be given. [Edit: I did draw particpants' names from a "hat" for Buy a Friend a Book Week. Joy was the winner, and she chose Watership Down. ]2. You may choose the number of books you read. If you read 4 books in 4 consecutive decades, you will have 4 chances for the prize. If you're really ambitious and read 18 books in 18 consecutive decades, you will have 18 chances for the prize. Books may be read in any order!3. Books read for other challenges are totally acceptable. Almost all of mine are cross-posted with other challenges.4. This is meant to be a fun challenge. Most of us are reading fools and have so many challenges going on. Don't let this one stress you out. Most could probably muster up at least 3 or 4 books for it without even trying.5. The challenge lasts from January 1 through December 31 of 2007. Any book you've read this year will count for the challenge. However, you must sign up for it by midnight ET on June 30, 2007. If you're later than that you can still participate, but you won't be eligible for the prize. All you have to do to sign up is comment on this post. Please comment leaving a link to your tentative list. You may change this list at any time. I will have another post for you to comment on at the end of the year to see how you did.A good source to find out when books were published is wikipedia. For example if you follow this link, you will see how easy it is to search books by a particular decade.My list for this challenge is here and on the sidebar. You may use one of the buttons below. Or, if you're creative and have already made a button, feel free to use it as well.I hope I've answered everything. Let me know if there's something I've missed, and have fun reading!
