My reaction to that is: Why?
That's been my conclusion after two years of personal challenges.

In 2011 I joined in the MR 100 book challenge. I publicly dropped out within a few months after folks started making "Rules". You could only count the book if it was more than 200 pages, etc.

This year I've been trying to keep up with the LibraryThing 75 book challenge, but I've mostly given up updating that too (though I'll easily make 75 books).

I read because I enjoy reading, and I've decided that challenges take the fun out it for me.
