Your challenge post is linked HERE
Agnieszka is correct, the rules do not state a minimum page count!
This sounds like it will be a true challenge, but as always, when there's no time pressures I'm game for a go.No time to do the set-up now, but I'll be back soon. The hardest part here might be deciding how to rationalize the picks. For instance, I own so many books that I've cut off purchases (thank you, libraries) so how do I define "acquired most recently"?
