Bridgett (brikie) | 5 comments 10.1 - A Random Trip Back in Time


Subtract the random number generated from 2015, and read a book first published in the resulting year.

My random number was 41, and 2015 minus 41 is 1974.

I read The Chocolate War.

Happy (worldhasteeth) | 173 comments 10.4. Let's Go!

A number of classic Greek and Roman myths and tales involve journeys. Read a book with the genre "travel" on its main page. The genre may be stand alone or embedded.

Gottland: Mostly True Stories from Half of Czechoslovakia by Mariusz Szczygieł has the genre "travel" on its main page.
