Sam (archieleach9) | 205 comments Reading through Time is a small challenge that consists of ten tasks that is designed to be undertaken as part of the Reading with Style Challenge. The challenge is to read a book originally published from as many fifty-year time periods as possible. The time periods are...

1951-2000 (Task 15.1)
1901-1950 (Task 15.2)
1851-1900 (Task 15.3)
1801-1850 (Task 15.4)
1751-1800 (Task 15.5)
1701-1750 (Task 15.6)
1651-1700 (Task 15.7)
1601-1650 (Task 15.8)
1551-1600 (Task 15.9)
1501-1550 (Task 15.10)

When you read a book from a time period on the list, post it in the Completed Tasks section to receive 15 points. Here's where the "challenge" part comes in...

1) Once you have claimed points for a time period, you cannot claim points for that time period again (unless you've completed the Reading through Time once and are starting again).
2) You cannot claim regular style points for any book you read for Reading through Time (nor do the Reading through Time categories count as Combo style points for regular Reading with Style tasks).
3) Once you have completed you first Reading through Time task, you must designate yourself a "Constant Traveler" or a "Time Leaper":

A Constant Traveler will start either at 2000 or 1500 and work his/her way in order through the challenge without skipping any time periods. This reader will receive 10 style points for every book completed after the first book (i.e., books 2-10). At the end of the reader's travels, he/she will receive a 100-point "Well-Traveled" bonus if all time periods have been completed.

A Time Leaper will start at any time period he/she chooses. This reader will receive 10 style points for every book completed after the fifth book (i.e., books 6-10). At the end of the reader's travels, he/she will receive a 50-point "Sightseer" bonus if all time periods have been completed.
