Hey I'd like to join the challenge [a little late to the party!]. Sign me up for 10,000 pages. I've backtracked my first couple of books this year as below.I think this should be an official challenge alongside the original Reading Challenge - something to ease the frustration of reading massive books that only count as x1 towards your reading goal.
