The Eponymous Challenge
>> Saturday, February 16, 2008
Once again, I happened upon a new challenge I can join without adding any more books to my reading list. I’ve already got 3 books planned for for other challenges that qualify for this one along with a 4th that’s been on my read soon list for a while. I love it when that happens.
Coversgirl is hosting The Eponymous Challenge
Here’s how it works:
The challenge will run from 1 March to 31 May, 2008.
During that time your mission should you choose to accept it is to read 4 books whose titles are the name of one or more of the characters (e.g. Evelina, Oscar and Lucinda); or a description of one or more of the characters (e.g. The Merchant of Venice, Sylvia’s Lovers).
Non-fiction books and overlaps with other challenges are welcome, as are books named after four-legged characters.
These are the books I’ve got planned already that qualify for this challenge:
Thanks Coversgirl – thanks for making this an easy one for me to add to my current challenges.
Reading update: I'm nearing the halfway point in Peter the Great - His Life and World. It's a fascinating book: part biography of Peter, part overview of Europe and it's leaders in the late 17th early 18th century. It's not a quick read, but I'm loving it.
No stars – I couldn’t even finish it
1 star – I didn’t like it but I managed to finish it.
2 stars – It was OK. Not good, but seriously just OK.
3 stars - I liked it. I didn’t think it was great, but I thought it was good entertainment.
4 stars – I really liked it. I really think you might like it too.
5 stars – It was amazing. I’d recommend this to just about anyone.

Happy to oblige!
Oh, I like Michael Palmer and Roald Dahl. Have fun reading!
Coversgirl - you just made it too tempting to resist.
Bookfool: I've heard lots of recommendations for Michael Palmer, so I'm looking forward to reading that one. And Charlie is just one of my all time favorites that I haven't re-read since I was a kid.
Once again, I happened upon a new challenge I can join without adding any more books to my reading list.
Sounds nice! I tend to avoid challenges for two reasons. One, it's hard to fit my TBR stack into them. Two, deadlines and such tend to make it harder rather than easier for me to get things done. I'm pig-headed that way. Which is kind of sad, because there are a lot of neat challenges out there!
Suzi, I tagged you for a meme. Check my blog!
Heather: I've learned to not join a challenge unless I can use one or more books that are already on my current challenge lists or TBR list anyway. I learned my lesson by overchallenging myself for a couple of months last year. I have to leave room for those whimpulse reads or it's just work.
Mary: thanks, but I'm not much of a meme person - that one is cute, though.
