This challenge is for serious readers. This is the 4th level of this challenge. The challenge consists of many levels, each level consisting of 100 books. So if you have not complete your first hundred, go back and complete Part 1 of the Serious Readers Challenge for 2010. If you have not complete your second hundred, go back and complete Part 2 of the Serious Readers Challenge for 2010. Please one post per player. Just create your list of books (at this level label them 301 through 400) and mark them off with a strike through them as you finish. If you find you can't finish one of the books on your list for any reason, you may replace it with another. Also, if you just want to decide what you read as you go you can do that as well. Since this challenge is for the year 2010 any books you've read this year may be included so we may have quite a few levels being utilized at one time once I get this challenge up. If you get done with one level, but I haven't created the next just let me know and I'll add the next level to our challenge as soon as I can. This is a free choice challenge. Read whatever you want. Hopefully, all is clear. Happy reading.

Congrats, Melanie!
Melanie wrote: "Level 4: DONE!!!"Congratulations, Melanie!!
And you finished your road to #400 with 3 really great reads!!!
Thanks all of you!:-) And the last three books where great!:-)
Just curious... I tried to read
and it sucked. I had to put it down. I tried to force myself to finish, but I couldn't keep going. I made it about 1/2 way. I'm assuming I still don't count it since I didn't finish it, but I'm not positive. Has anyone been counting bad books? I really tried to finish it.
Heather wrote: "Just curious... I tried to read and it sucked. I had to put it down. I tried to force myself to finish, but I couldn't keep going. I made it about 1/2 way. ..."Heather, I'd say count it since you got half way. It's not like you only read 2 pages.
I agree. You devoted time to reading half if it, it should count. And you're not alone. I didn't like that book either and skimmed at least half of it. None of it was funny.
I thought it would be intelligently funny, not just a bunch of drunk people writing junk.
You two say it's bad I'll leave it off my list.
Heather, I'm certain that even drunk, I could write better than those dolts.Lisa, I heartily recommend you stay far away from it.
I ended up just not counting it. It didn't seem right for some reason.
I slowed way down in November, so I won't be reaching the 400 mark, but it's been challenging trying for it!
I won't make it either. I slowed down a lot in November since I was exceptionally busy. If I had been about 5 books closer I could have made it, but i would have had to given up a lot of free time to actually do it.
K... I decided not to read any more this year since I hit 390, although, I did manage to sneak 1 more book in. I've gotten myself addicted to a tv show so that'll keep me busy for tomorrow. It sure kept me busy today. 17 episodes in one day is a lot.
I just updated my list (post 14) with the last books read - I limped to 371 (November was slow and December was half of November), but I enjoyed the holidays with lots of family. Now I'm back in the reading mood, so look forward to 2011 reading!
You still did awesome BJ. I didn't make it to 300 this year. I slowed way down in October and November because of Q&A organization.
