Yes.  I know.  I already have 30-some challenges.  Plenty to read.  But....I did this one last year and it fit in with what I was already reading and caused no extra challenge stress whatsoever.  Really.  (no, I didn't twitch...you imagined it)  And, so, I am drinking the reading challenge Kool-Aid and signing up for just one more....

Sorry folks, but I have been getting an incredible amount of spam. I have adjusted my settings and all messages will be moderated from now on. If that does not take care of the problem then I will have to go to the "Prove You're Not a Robot" thing--which I hate as much as you do.

If your name does not appear automatically, please tell me your name in the comment. Otherwise you will just show up as "Unknown." Thanks!
