Challenge information
Spoiler:
This time I'll actually start the challenge at the beginning of the year
Last year I set a challenge of reading 50 pages a day, for a total of 18.250. I failed the challenge by around 5.500 pages. (Only fell short by 30%; almost made it!
) This year, I'll set the amount at 14.600, which is 80% of the previous amount, and about 2000 pages more than I've read in 2013. (I'm still counting pages at 2400 characters per page.) Also, I'll set some additional challenges, so I'll actually be reading some more non-fantasy stuff.
Main Challenge: Read 14.600 pages in 2014.
