No Time Limit

For those of you who love the perpetual challenges to read award winners, here's one for you! Sharon of Ex Libris is hosting The National Book Award Project. She is being flexible with the guidelines and says:


This is your project. Feel free to read the winners and/or finalists in any way you choose. Here are some suggestions:
  1. Read all the winners of the National Book Award for fiction from 1950 to present.
  2. Read all the winners and finalists of the National Book Award for fiction from 1950 to present.
  3. Read the winners and finalists of the National Book Award for fiction of one year.
  4. Read the winners of the National Book Award for fiction of one decade.
  5. Read all the books that were winners or finalists by a single author (there are several authors who were finalists and/or won in multiple years).

Participants may sign up at any time; there is a blog devoted to the challenge which you are encouraged to participate in, but aren't obligated to do so.

For more details and to sign up go to the challenge blog.
