Reading Challenges 2011

These are the reading challenges I'm taking on for 2011. Yes, I'm a bit crazy, but they looked like fun. So here goes! I had fun last year signing up for what turned out to be way too many reading challenges. I told myself I was going to be more conservative this year. I opted out of the ones that caused me the most stress as the year wore on. I had a nice collection of do-able challenges lined up. But that's not what "challenge" is all about. Right? I keep finding new and interesting sounding challenges and now this is my list for this year. It may have others added as I go along. Who knows? I will keep it updated with progress reports on how I'm doing.
